Commercial Refrigerator Repair for Walk-in Coolers and Freezers

Walk-in coolers and freezers are basic essential parts of establishments in the food industry. And because they are staple equipment in the industry, they are often taken for granted and noticed only when the need for commercial refrigerator repair arises.

The majority of the problems encountered by walk-in coolers and freezers are caused by lack of maintenance. These include failure to maintain pressure which results in compressor failure that further leads to expensive losses to the products stored in the cooler.

Listed below are three parts that can cause serious commercial refrigerator repair in Tampa FL if left untended.

Evaporators

Poor evaporator maintenance, result in a block of ice taking over the evaporator. This leads to frozen coils which makes compressors work longer and harder. As the block of ice melts, the water will be trapped and can do significant structural damage to walk-in coolers and freezers. Costly commercial refrigerator repair, if not unit replacement must necessarily be done when this happens.

Condensers

Condensers or condenser coils are the parts of the refrigeration system that remove heat from the system. To effectively remove heat, the condenser should be placed in a well-ventilated area where the temperature is controlled to allow heat to be removed easily. However, some establishments place condensers in enclosed spaces. This is where problems arise. Condensers always require openings for cooling air intake and exhaust. Overheating and improper functioning may happen if condensers are not given ventilation provisions.

Refrigerated Space & Shell

Refrigerated space and shell of walk-in coolers and freezers should be regularly inspected for any problems including leaks or loose insulation panels. Leaks cause excess moisture to accumulate causing commercial refrigerator repair problems. If these parts are not sealed properly, air will infiltrate the system which will increase the cooling load and disrupt the efficient operation of the refrigeration system.

Avoid Commercial Refrigerator Repair

Maintenance is the key to keeping walk-in coolers and freezers as efficient as possible. Operational issues should immediately be addressed to prevent excessive energy use, costly commercial refrigerator repairs, and product and profit loss. Consult a professional repair company for problems and other concerns.
