Summer Preparation Guide for Commercial Refrigeration Systems
Concerned about how your commercial refrigeration units in Grand Rapids will fare in the summer heat? You are not alone!
Imagine a summer in which everything keeps cool despite the intense heat thanks to refrigeration systems that run smoothly and without a hitch.
The following guide is meant to assist in turning that vision into a reality.
1. Begin with a Thorough Examination
Examining your refrigeration systems in-depth is the first step in getting ready for the heat. Keep an eye out for any wear and tear indicators, such as leaks, broken seals, or strange noises that can point to a problem. Early diagnosis and repair can spare you from a potential system breakdown during the height of summer heat and help avoid more serious problems later on.
2. Clean Coils
The state of the coils in your refrigeration system—both the condenser and the evaporator—has a significant impact on its efficiency. These coils may get clogged with dust, grime, and debris, which will reduce their capacity to efficiently disperse heat. To maintain maximum effectiveness, make sure these coils are fully cleaned before the temperatures begin to climb. The longevity and performance of your system might be greatly impacted by this one action.
3. Check Your Refrigerant Levels
Your refrigeration system's lifeline, refrigerant, makes cooling possible. Refrigerant leaks or low levels can significantly lower system efficiency, making it work harder and raising your energy expenses. Make sure your system is charged and prepared for the summer by having an expert from RMS Pros check the refrigerant levels and look for leaks.
4. Examine and Replace the Insulation
Maintaining the appropriate temperatures inside your refrigeration units without overtaxing the system relies on proper insulation. Look for any indications of deterioration or damage in the insulation inside your refrigerated units as well as surrounding your cooling lines. System performance during the warmer months can be greatly impacted by replacing or repairing insulation as needed.
5. Utilize Strip Curtains
The summer heat in Grand Rapids can be taxing on refrigeration systems for companies. To keep warm air out and cold air in, walk-in coolers might benefit from strip curtains. These upgrades lessen the cooling load and energy usage by assisting in the maintenance of constant temperatures inside your units.
6. Utilize Professional Service
Basic maintenance can be done internally, but due to their complexity, commercial refrigeration systems frequently need to be serviced by professionals. To make sure your system is in good working order, have RMS Pros technicians perform a pre-summer maintenance check. Our crew will perform component inspections, cleanings, and repairs to give you the assurance that your refrigeration system will function as intended when you need it most.
