Commercial Ice Equipment and Supplies

What are Commercial Refrigeration Equipment?

Commercial refrigeration equipment refers to refrigerators and freezers used in supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, and commercial kitchens. Commercial refrigeration equipment can either be “self-contained,” where the refrigerated case and the complete refrigeration system are combined into a single physical unit, or “remote condensing,” where the compressor and condenser are located remotely from the refrigerated case. “Reach-ins” are self-contained equipment that have either solid or glass doors and are typically used in food-service establishments. Refrigerated display cases, which are commonly used in supermarkets, are remote condensing and can either have doors or be open cases.

WHAT ROLE DO COMPRESSORS PLAY IN COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION?

Compressors in commercial refrigeration let the refrigerant run the circuit. The compressor plays a role in the commercial cooler like a heart in a living creature’s body.

HOW COMPRESSORS WORK

The power comes from the electric motor fixed in the system. This process eases the pressure on the refrigerant system.

First, the refrigerant flows from the compressor through a condenser. When this process happens, it is in the condenser where vapor converts into liquid form and emanates heat.

In air-cooled process chillers, moisture increases higher than the air going through the condenser. In water-cooled process refrigerant systems, the refrigerant vapor passes through a higher temperature than the water going through the condenser.

HOW CONDENSERS WORK

The refrigerant process completes its cycle in the condenser. Then, it goes through the metering device or expansion valve, and the pressure drops.

Finally, the refrigerant reaches the evaporator; here, the heat causes it to vaporize. The evaporator collects heat from the space that needs to be cooled. Then, the refrigerant returns to the compressor, and the entire cycle starts again.

Whether you run a restaurant or a school, you know just how important it is to keep your commercial cooler in good working condition. When a problem pops up, it can ruin your stored items if you don’t quickly find a solution.
