Some agencies are responsible for public health and safety matters that demand strict control of ambient temperature. Others must care for populations, such as patients or the incarcerated, whose safety is reliant on the effective working of a compressor.
Refrigeration compressors enable the refrigerant to circulate in the system. However, unlike air compressors, these parts cannot function independently of the refrigeration system.

Commercial refrigeration systems and equipment should be maintained regularly for optimal performance. Manufacturers also require consumers to ensure their systems undergo regular scheduled inspections to maintain the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) warranty.
