Commercial HVAC systems are designed to be extremely efficient, conserving energy and operating in the most effective way possible. They are designed using energy-saving technology that reduces the amount of energy used and lowers the company's operating costs. Over the years, energy-saving technology can be used to maintain and upgrade the systems for continued optimum performance. There are several things you can do to maintain your commercial HVAC system so that it continues to work efficiently for many years to come.

HVAC compressors are designed to operate at maximum efficiency. Although some are organically more efficient than others simply due to how they are constructed, it's up to you to make sure they remain in good operating order at all times. Compressors draw a large amount of power because of the work they do. To maximize their efficiency, it's essential that they are serviced regularly and that qualified HVAC technicians be called in to handle any problems that may arise.

Dairy farmers have been using refrigeration compressors for years to lower the temperature of milk that is harvested to an appropriate storage temperature. The milk must be maintained at that temperature until it is picked up and transported to the dairy. Refrigeration compressors like the Copeland 3D, 4D, and 6D models or Bitzer's 4GE and 6FE models work exceptionally well. Carrier O6E and O6D models are also efficient. All three brands offer reciprocating compressors that cool the milk to the appropriate temperature.

To get the best out of something, you need to ask the right questions. With this in mind, whenever you intend to purchase anything, you really should know more about the state of the product you want to buy amongst other things. In the case of buying a remanufactured compressor, there are some questions that you need to ask the compressor manufacturer.

There are some things that we all take for granted, and at work, one of those is the HVAC system. When it’s cold we expect the heating to work, and when it’s warm, we turn up the air conditioner. When something stops working, it is usually when we need it most, and then it becomes a company crisis as the search for someone who can fix things at this very moment is in dire need.

Good quality and fresh indoor air in the workplace or commercial space is not only important for the comfort of the workers and your customers, but also for their well-being. Poor indoor air quality can be lethal and hazardous to their health. There are various factors that affect indoor air quality such as poor ventilation, bad controlling temperature, extremely high or low humidity, recent remodeling or other similar activities within a building or nearby places.

One question that you will often hear with regard to commercial compressors is how much oil pressure they need to operate. The oil pressure required will depend on the size, type and intended use of the system. The age of your compressor may also affect oil pressure, because older compressors have more worn parts, which creates gaps that allow for extra oil to flow, thereby reducing pressure in the system. As you compare different compressor types and oil pressure requirements, it is important to understand the difference between useful or net oil pressure and discharge oil pressure. These two measurements apply to different parts of your system, and you must understand which is which to ensure that your compressor is properly lubricated and operating normally. 

One of the key ingredients to a well-functioning commercial compressor is having the right lubricant in place. Oil or lubricant protects your compressor, and without it, your compressor will break down quickly. The problem is that there are many different types of compressor oils and lubricants on the market, so you need to know how to choose the right type for your commercial system.

Bearings are designed to help the internal components of your compressor glide smoothly around one another without binding. Unfortunately, bearings are a wearable part, and as they get worn down there are gaps in their path which can cause vibration. Knowing the common signs of vibration and bearing wear is a good way to plan for replacements before something goes wrong. 

Trane has always been a leader in the commercial compressor industry, since its earliest days, but modern Trane compressors are going a step above and beyond to give consumers and businesses alike an unbeatable experience.  There is nowhere where this is quite as apparent as it is in Trane's commercial compressor units, including everything from their reciprocating compressors to their scroll and screw designs.
