When it comes to maintenance of your commercial fridge, one of the most effective things you can do is have the condenser and evaporator coils cleaned by seasoned professionals. Condenser Coil Coiling is Essential
Commercial fridges, due to their workload, understandably gather a lot of dust & debris on the evaporator and condenser coils. We will discuss the benefits of having a clean condenser and evaporator coil in your commercial refrigerator.
Advantages of Condenser Coil Cleaning
Condenser Coil Cleaning Saves a Lot of Energy
Condenser coils play a pivotal role in condensing and cooling the liquid refrigerant. The heat needs to be dissipated to cool the refrigerant. When dust and dirt accumulate on the condenser coils, their heat-releasing capacity decreases and they become less efficient. This results in overheating inside the refrigerator. When this happens the compressor has to work harder, using more energy. A lot more energy. Cleaning the condenser coils periodically will keep more $$ in your pocket
It gives your fridge a longer lifespan
Dirty coils make the compressor to work harder. This more-than-normal wear and tear will reduce the overall lifespan of the commercial refrigeration system. Preventive maintenance is a far less expensive option and goes a long way to avoid expensive major repairs. Additionally, dirty condenser coils also harbor a lot of bacteria and mold, which will adversely affect the interior air quality
It will reduce the frequency of breakdowns
As per the statistics, up to 80 percent of the refrigeration systems do not receive regular cleaning of condenser coils regularly. Dirty condenser coils turn out to be the most common reasons for service calls. Clean coils can reduce the probability of these refrigerator breakdowns by up to 70%.
ADVANTAGES OF CLEANING EVAPORATOR COILS
Because of the role they play, evaporator coils, just like the condenser coils, need to be maintained. This helps them to perform up to their intended potential and reach optimal energy efficiency. A dirty and greasy evaporator coil will cause a series of issues:
- Impaired absorption of heat and cooling capacity
- Higher use of energy, resulting in higher power bills
- Higher pressures and temperatures
- Excessive build-up of frost and ice
Even a very fine layer of superficial dust on the evaporator coil of a refrigerator can greatly reduce its efficiency. When that happens, the coils are unable to absorb heat to their fullest potential. The commercial fridge will have to run longer to meet the desired temperature. Longer running = higher electric bills.Take the steps to improve the bottom line profits of your business.
