At a recent GreenChill webinar, the experts from DC Engineering provided insights on how to create a strategic leak reduction and refrigerant management plan.
Learning how to troubleshoot a system that is experiencing leaky valves or worn rings can be challenging, so technicians need to take careful measurements in order to isolate the problem.
When faced with a leaky coil on a reach-in cooler, a decision needs to be made whether to repair or replace it. The final decision may come down to where the leak is located.
Conducting planned maintenance on refrigeration equipment is beneficial to both equipment owners and contractors. However, simple tasks can turn into problems if not done properly or without taking the necessary precautions.
Successful companies seem to always look for ways to improve operations. The Delfield Co. recently demonstrated this by taking an in-depth look at their brazing processes for refrigerant systems.
Food retailers have identified the top refrigerant leak issues in refrigeration equipment and developed specific equipment specifications that could help mitigate those leaks.
Locating the source of a refrigerant leak in a self-contained reach-in cooler or freezer and repairing it may be difficult, but technicians should always attempt to find the source.
