The majority of refrigeration breakdowns happen at similar times every year on the sunshine coast
and the majority of those breakdowns could be avoided with a quarterly maintenance program.
This is why we have design our preventative maintenance program to be carried out just before
these times.
There are two major factors that come into play and the first is the ambient temperature. In
summer the temperature increases which puts an extra load on your refrigeration system in a few
different ways, it adds heat to both the outdoor fan motor and compressor motor, it also increasers
the refrigerant head pressure causing the system to become less efficient and to have to run
longer and more frequently to achieve the same temperature in the refrigeration cabinet.
The second major factor in refrigeration breakdowns can be the most frustrating, it happens when
your business is at it’s busiest! Generally speaking when you are busier your refrigeration
equipment is working harder due to the extra load from opening and closing doors more often and
increased volume of product being stored in the refrigeration cabinet to keep up with the increased
demand.
