4 Energy-Saving Tips for Industrial Refrigeration Systems

Refrigeration is one of the main causes of high energy costs in the food and drink industry. Here is an energy-saving checklist that can help you to limit industrial refrigeration costs and eventually make noticeable savings.

1.   Check the system regularly.

Checking the refrigeration system regularly can help you to discover potential problems in the system. There are several tell-tale signs that might help you to determine whether there is a problem in the refrigeration system:

• Frequent unnecessary noises
• The accumulation of ice on evaporators
• Fragments on condensers
• Bubbles in sight glasses

Check for these possible problems on a regular basis and you will be able to generate immediate solutions to prevent them from becoming worse.

2.   Avail maintenance services.

Just like any other systems, breakdowns and failures can also occur in refrigeration systems. This can result in costly repairs. Reduce the risk of system breakdowns through regular maintenance. Hire a skilled contractor that can maintain your refrigeration system. This will help to eliminate the supplementary cost of unexpected repairs.

3.   Be aware of the system controls.

Familiarise yourself with the whole refrigeration system so you can easily determine whether there is a problem or not. Aside from the components, you should also be aware of the refrigeration system controls. Some have a simple on/off switch, while other types of refrigeration systems have additional intricate controls. No matter how simple or complicated the system controls are, make sure that you are aware of how they function and work.

4.   Promote good habits.

Promote good habits whilst maximising the industrial refrigeration system. This can help to reduce a potential loss in energy costs. A very good habit to get into is to simply keep the doors and blinds of the industrial refrigeration unit closed when not in use.
