Expert insights on commercial HVAC compressors and refrigeration systems.
The commercial compressor is responsible for two functions that make our modern world possible: Air conditioning and refrigeration.
Refrigeration is essential to the quality of milk and the health of those who enjoy it. However, few people really understand how vital it is.
Cooling units tend to get overworked during the holidays and can break down. Here are the best ways to prepare to avoid any issues.
Although each component in a cooling system makes an important contribution, it’s the compressor that compresses refrigerant gas and provides the necessary mechanical energy.
It may cost $10,000-$15,000 to replace a mid-sized walk-in refrigerator, so it’s no surprise businesses aim to extend their service life. When problems arise with a walk-in, attention usually turns to the compressor.
About 70% of energy use can be attributed to lighting and HVAC, while nearly 20% of the cost of operating an office comes from energy.
High heat can age your HVAC system in a hurry, especially the most crucial part: The compressor.
The bigger your building is, the more opportunities there are for waste. For example, a large building may have hundreds of feet of ductwork, and clogs can develop anywhere within that sub-system.
In any given year, millions of tons of cargo rely on refrigerated shipping containers, commonly known as “reefers.”
The container refrigeration unit – also known as the “reefer” – is one of the most important aspects of the modern food supply chain.
The compressor is an essential component and does much of the work of keeping the system functional. If there are problems in the operating environment, it is possible for a compressor to fail well before the ten years of service it should offer.
If any of the components break down within your HVAC system, then the whole system will not be far behind. The one part that gets most of the attention is the commercial compressor.
