Maintenance checklist of commercial refrigeration equipment

Commercial refrigerators are a long-term investment for many businesses. They store food efficiently to ensure safe food consumption and storage. In addition to being operationally important, they also need to be properly maintained to avoid appliance failure and high costs of replacements.

Let us look at how refrigeration equipment can be maintained well.

Compressor units: Monitoring the electrical components of your compressor units is crucial to check for any wear and damaged wiring insulation. Tightening all electrical connections every 6 months can help maintain the operation of the control system. Check all pressure controls for proper operation and setpoints and double check the safety controls including oil safety and high-pressure controls.

Condensers:  The air-cooled condensing units and water-cooled condensing units should be cleaned and washed periodically to prevent clogging of stale air. The condenser fans should be given attention during the maintenance process to check that each fan blade rotates freely, and all its screws are tightened. Lubricate the motors if there are signs of rusting and restricted movement.

Thermometers: Thermometers need to be calibrated as a faulty can give inaccurate temperature readings and affect the refrigerators cooling system.

Self-acting valves: Controlling the temperature of valves is essential to ensuring your refrigerators performance. Thermostatic temperature control valves and regulators need to be set at the right temperature and regularly serviced to keep it functioning as it should.

Evaporators: The evaporator coil is located near the evaporator fan and absorbs heat as warm air passes through the refrigeration system. Cleaning it periodically will avoid dust collection in the inside of the coils.

Gaskets: The door gaskets are essential to any commercial refrigeration unit. When the gaskets are subject to splits and cracks it can prevent the door from shutting properly which leads to loss of cool air from the refrigerator. Routinely cleaning the gaskets and replacing them in case of damage will keep your unit in good condition.

Air filters: Dirt buildup is a common problem that affects a refrigerators air filter. A shop vacuum or degreasing solution can help clean your air filters and remove any dirt and grime build-up to allow for proper ventilation.
