Refrigeration systems that employ air-cooled condensers will greatly benefit from a regular maintenance program. Regularly scheduled maintenance saves the contracting company and the customer time and money.
One of the most important tasks is to inspect and clean the condenser coils. An excessive amount of dirt on the coils increases the operating discharge pressure. Systems running with higher-than- normal discharge pressures reduce the life of the compressor, reduce its refrigeration capacity, and consume more energy.
