Airconditioning and Refrigeration Services

Commercial Refrigeration

Although your first thought for cooling may be air conditioning, there are many alternatives that provide cooling with less energy use. You might also consider fans, evaporative coolers, or heat pumps as your primary means of cooling.Types of Cooling Systems Air conditioning, or cooling, is more complicated than heating. Instead of using energy to create heat, air conditioners use energy to take heat away. The most common air conditioning system uses a compressor cycle (similar to the one used by your refrigerator) to transfer heat from your house to the outdoors. Picture your house as a refrigerator. There is a compressor on the outside filled with a special fluid called a refrigerant. This fluid can change back and forth between liquid and gas. As it changes, it absorbs or releases heat, so it is used to “carry” heat from one place to another, such as from the inside of the refrigerator to the outside. Simple, right? Well, no. And the process gets quite a bit more complicated with all the controls and valves involved. But its effect is remarkable. An air conditioner takes heat from a cooler place and dumps it in a warmer place, seemingly working against the laws of physics. What drives the process, of course, is electricity — quite a lot of it, in fact. Types of Cooling Systems Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Central air conditioners and heat pumps are designed to cool the entire house. In each system, a large compressor unit located outside drives the process; an indoor coil filled with refrigerant cools air that is then distributed throughout the house via ducts. Heat pumps are like central air conditioners, except that the cycle can be reversed and used for heating during the winter months. (Heat pumps are described in more detail in the heating section.) With a central air conditioner, the same duct system is used with a furnace for forced warm-air heating. In fact, the central air conditioner typically uses the furnace fan to distribute air to the ducts. Central air conditioners and air-source heat pumps operating in the cooling mode have been rated according to their seasonal energy. The main difference between an inverter and non-inverter AC lies in their compressor speed. An inverter AC has a variable speed compressor, while a non-inverter AC has a fixed speed compressor. Variable speed compressors are more energy efficient than their fixed counterparts and make less noise as well. The six main air conditioning components that homeowners should be aware of are the thermostat, air blowing unit, air filter evaporator, condenser coil, and compressor.

Residential Cooling Solutions

A refrigeration appliance repair service technician plays a crucial role in maintaining and repairing refrigeration appliances for both residential and commercial clients. They are responsible for diagnosing and resolving issues with refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, and other cooling systems. repair, install and troubleshoot systems in residential and commercial settings, which include heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units, refrigerated storage units, ice machines and beverage equipment. person who repairs refrigerators and other cooling appliances is typically called an "appliance repair technician" or simply a "refrigerator repair technician." These professionals are trained to diagnose and fix issues with refrigeration units, which include refrigerators, freezers, and other cooling equipment.A malfunctioning refrigeration system can compromise the safety of perishable goods, resulting in spoilage and potential health hazards. Regular maintenance can ensure the system is operating correctly and maintaining safe storage temperatures, reducing the risk of foodborne illness and protecting public health.

Refrigerator Repair Services

A major service consists off: Check air filter - Clean and decontaminate. Should the filter be torn or damaged it will be necessary to provide a new filter. Check conditions of evaporator coil - High pressure clean with chemicals and decontaminate. Check condition of condensing coil - High pressure clean with chemicals. Air conditioning servicing can take place on a variety of different units, such as: spilt units; cassette units and in chiller systems. Depending on the system, servicing will also have to take place on parts within the system, such as: compressors, condensers, expansion valves and evaporators, as appropriate. he professional service men drain and recharge the system, checks hoses, filters, belts and connections to ensure that the compressor and condenser are in a perfect running condition. 4. A thorough visual inspection and checking of the condenser unit ensures that the air circulation in the unit is not blocked. If your AC cycles on and off at intervals of less than five minutes, it likely is short-cycling. As a result, your air conditioner may need repairs, or you may only need to have the thermostat adjusted. In any case, it's time to schedule an AC tune-up, as short cycling can lead to higher energy bills. There are three primary functions to a room Air Conditioner. First is to cool a specific area, such as a room, not an entire home. The second is to dehumidify, to remove moisture out of the air, so you're not sitting in a cold, clammy environment. The third function is to filter the air within the home.Here Are Five Telltale Signs That Your AC Coils Are Dirty And Need to be Cleaned Your electricity bill has been going up. ... Your unit seems to be running longer for no reason. ... Your home doesn't feel as cool as it should be. ... The Coil is Covered in Frost While Running. ... Higher Indoor Humidity.There are four major components of the air conditioning system. They are the evaporator, condenser, compressor, and expansion valve. Each of these air conditioner components functions in sync with each other and has a specific job to do, to keep your air conditioner running smoothly. As a rule of thumb, we recommend availing an aircon cleaning service every 3 to 4 months for residential units. For AC units used in businesses, aircon cleaning should be done at least every 3 months.The main difference between an inverter and non-inverter AC lies in their compressor speed. An inverter AC has a variable speed compressor, while a non-inverter AC has a fixed speed compressor. Variable speed compressors are more energy efficient than their fixed counterparts and make less noise as well

Daily Cold Room Maintenance Checks and Cleaning Spillages should be cleaned up IMMEDIATELY. Check the cold room temperature is correct for your products. Inspect the evaporator for a build-up of ice. Check the compressors in the walk-in cold room for oil leakage. Check the Freon levels in the cold storage room.Handling the installation of refrigeration system, its components and refrigerant charging. Managing the storage of food in the cold storage room. Maintaining storage parameters such as temperature and relative humidity in food processing units. Cold rooms largely work the same as any other refrigeration equipment. They use a compressor, condenser, fans and an evaporator so they can maintain temperature. A gas refrigerant gets compressed before expanding and absorbing energy, and passing over the evaporator coils. Cold Room Troubleshooting Lists The cold room door is not closed tightly. The frost on the unit cooler or exhaust pipe is too thick. Low compressor efficiency. Improper adjustment of the expansion valve or ice blockage. The expansion valve is dirty or the filter is dirty. Less refrigerant in the system. aintenance Of Cold Storage On A Monthly Basis Cleaning the evaporator casing as well as all of the blowers. Make that the check valves are working properly. Check to see that the reversed blowing is working effectively. Check the defrosting function, which is essential for a successful walk-in cold room. The cold storage facilities are the prime infrastructural component for such perishable commodities. Besides the role of stabilizing market prices and evenly distributing both on demand basis and time basis, the cold storage industry renders other advantages and benefits to both the farmers and the consumers. The refrigeration system is the core of cold storage. Refrigeration system mainly consists of four parts: compressor, condenser, evaporator and throttle valve, and other auxiliary parts, such as fan, catheter, instrument. There are many possible causes of freezing problems in cold storage. One of the known causes is the inflow of warm, moist air into the cold room. Usually, cold storage components have effective seals that keep warm air out.Compressor. The role of a compressor in a refrigeration system is to pressurize the refrigerant. This results in the refrigerant temperature increasing as it moves to the heat exchanger. The hot refrigerant releases its heat outside of the system. There are three customary defrosting methods. Air circulation (thawing out in the cold storage room), electric, and hot gas defrosting. Natural defrosting (air circulation) with the help of air is possible if the temperature in the cold storage room is higher than +4°C. Coolrooms are designed to keep items cold, not frozen. Whereas freezers are designed to, you guessed it, keep items frozen.

Cold Rooms & Freezer Rooms

Cold Room Troubleshooting Lists The cold room door is not closed tightly. The frost on the unit cooler or exhaust pipe is too thick. Low compressor efficiency. Improper adjustment of the expansion valve or ice blockage. The expansion valve is dirty or the filter is dirty. Less refrigerant in the system. There are many possible causes of freezing problems in cold storage. One of the known causes is the inflow of warm, moist air into the cold room. Usually, cold storage components have effective seals that keep warm air out. Why is my cold room not holding the correct temperature? There are a number of reasons this could be the case. Blocked condensers, mechanical failure, seals needing replacement. It could also be due to a poorly located or low-quality thermostat failing to sense the room temperature. Clean your Air Filters, Vents, and Ducts – A clogged air filter will struggle to meet the thermostat's set temperature since the dirt and debris buildup prevents air from circulating through the vents. And as airflow into living spaces drops, so do comfort levels.Monthly Maintenance of Cold Rooms Calibrate the cold room temperature. Check the proper temperature remains when the modular cold storage has a full load. Clean the evaporator and fins – important for temperature maintenance. Clean the evaporator casing and all blowing fans. Check the control valves are fully functioning. What to Do If Your Refrigerator Stops Working Remove the Food and Put Into a Cooler. When your refrigerator stops working and it's not a simple fix, make sure you get the items out as soon as you can and into another place where they can remain cool. ... Call a Professional to Find Out What's Wrong. ... Choose Repair or Replace. Place heavy cardboard on top of packages of frozen food in each compartment of your freezer and place dry ice on top of the cardboard. Close the freezer and do not open it again until you need to replace the dry ice or the power comes back on. Highlights. If your fridge/freezer has broken down, it's not always easy to know where to turn, especially if it's out of warranty and not covered by a Care Plan agreement. For minor faults having your fridge/freezer repaired can be a lot cheaper than buying a new one, and a lot less hassle.
