All the parts of your commercial HVAC system rely on just one component: The compressor. It does the heavy mechanical work necessary to make refrigerant gas available to the rest of the system, no matter if you are cooling the indoor environment or heating it.
Whether you have a large commercial HVAC or a commercial refrigeration system, odds are good that a substantial part of your business relies on it. In the event of a sudden compressor failure, you could be looking at steep costs with a real strategic impact.
When it comes to extreme heat, your commercial compressor systems are on the front lines. External heat is always a factor in your efficiency. It impacts energy usage, performance, and overall service life.
Over the last few years, commercial compressor manufacturers have gone above and beyond when it comes to improving the performance and energy efficiency of their equipment. But if you want truly optimized output with lower cost of ownership, you must be sure you have the right tool for the job.
Thunderstorms pose a risk to technological systems of all kinds. At the same time, a business that relies on a large commercial HVAC system can’t expect to drop everything if the summer is full of thunderstorms. So, what are the real facts about lightning and risk to your commercial compressor system?
Let’s get it out of the way: Commercial compressor failure is a big deal.
The fallout from sudden loss of an HVAC compressor is serious. Having the right components on hand can turn a disaster into an inconvenience, but even a repair will leave you racing against the clock to avoid a major disaster.
No matter if they are part of a commercial HVAC system or a refrigeration system, all compressors need to contend with ambient heat in the environment. Waste heat can be a significant challenge – for example, in grocery stores.
A well-designed screw refrigeration compressor is one of the most efficient commercial compressors on the market today. Developed to solve the engineering problems common with the earlier generations of commercial compressors, a screw compressor has many advantages.
Commercial HVAC compressor failure is one of the most serious problems your HVAC system can have.
When a commercial compressor fails, it means replacing the most complex, important, and often costly part in the entire system. In contrast to many other components, which slowly reduce your total efficiency as they degrade, a failed compressor brings operations to an immediate stop.
No matter whether you’re working with a large commercial HVAC or a small residential system, blowing hot air is one of the most common problems that arises – by many estimates, the most common. That’s why it’s so important to have a clear idea of the factors that can cause this issue.
