Recently the SCK team took a day out of the office to visit the Fine Foods Expo in Darling Harbour Sydney.
As it perhaps should be, the trend these days is to improve efficiency, with energy consumption being at the forefront. Going green is no longer just talk in an industry that has been over the years a high consumer of energy.
Some of the changes are incredible. I mean who would have thought that deep fryers could become energy efficient, but indeed that is where improvements are being made.
Another area of great inefficiency is commercial refrigeration, and it is pleasing to see some of the manufacturers stepping up in this area.
Some efficiencies can be mind bogglingly simple, just take a look at the video below.
Turbo Air 'Self-Cleaning Condenser'
It is a well known fact that refrigeration motors attract dust. This dust always seems to settle on the condensor motor.
And, unless you have a regular scheduled routine for cleaning the condensor you are increasing the chance that your expensive fridge or freezer will require servicing. This is because the dust is drawn through the fan where it sticks, preventing the condenser from properly releasing heat. This in turn causes the compressor to increase the pressure on refrigerants thus increasing the possibility of the compressor breaking down.
And typically, neglecting to clean the condensor regularly can then cause major issues such as; increased energy consumption, compressor failure, health inspection failure and manufacturer warranty void.
Dirty condenser coils are one of the most frequent service problems in commercial refrigeration and sadly it is not a warranty claim, you will have to pay for your neglect.
The Turbo Air 'Self-Cleaning Condenser' cleans the condenser with a rotating brush that moves up and down 2-3 times a day, preventing any dust build-up and making it possible to always maintain the highest efficiency while saving additional energy.
