How Commercial Fridges Work and Usage Tips
Introduction to Commercial Fridges
Commercial fridges are essential equipment for restaurants, supermarkets, and food processing companies to store food safely. But how does the refrigeration system of a commercial fridge work? What should you pay attention to when using one? This article will explain it in detail.
The Core Components of a Commercial Fridge's Refrigeration System
The core of a commercial fridge is the refrigeration system, consisting of four main components: compressor, evaporator, condenser, and expansion valve. The compressor compresses the low pressure refrigerant gas into high temperature and pressure vapor. The evaporator absorbs heat inside the fridge and evaporates the refrigerant. The condenser releases heat and condenses the refrigerant vapor into liquid. The expansion valve reduces the pressure of the condensed liquid before sending it back to the evaporator to continue the cooling cycle.
How the Refrigeration Cycle Works in a Commercial Fridge
Specifically, the refrigeration process goes like this: The compressor sucks in low pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator and compresses it into hot high pressure gas sending to the condenser. The condenser dissipates heat and turns the gas into liquid. The liquid goes through the expansion valve reducing its pressure and temperature before entering the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the low pressure cold liquid refrigerant evaporates by absorbing heat, cooling down the interior of the fridge. The gas is then drawn back into the compressor, repeating the cycle.
When using a commercial fridge, pay attention to the following:
1. Avoid direct sunlight which could warm the outer surface and lower efficiency.
2. Leave space on both sides for air circulation and heat dissipation of condenser.
3. Regularly clean the condenser coils to maintain good heat transfer.
4. Handle and install carefully to prevent damage to refrigerant pipes.
5. Maintain regularly, e.g. replenish compressor oil.
