Hot Weather Advice for Refrigeration & Catering Equipment
With Summer looming, your refrigeration equipment can come under increased pressure to maintain its optimal performance. Our procurement manager, John, provides his 7 tips to help the performance of your refrigeration equipment during hotter weather.
To help your refrigeration equipment during periods of hot weather, taking the following steps might help:
– Where possible and safe to do so, pull fridges and freezers a few inches away from the wall to allow air to circulate overnight
– Minimise the frequency of opening and closing fridge and freezer doors
– Ensure that where possible, new food stock is pre-chilled
– Do not prop fridge/freezer doors open during goods loading
– Use counter top electric fans to help circulate air around refrigeration equipment
– Check air grilles are not obstructed by boxes or equipment
– Check internal evaporator is not obstructed by food
Remember, if you are struggling or experiencing difficulties with your current equipment, or simply require some additional equipment to help you through the summer, we have a large range of refrigeration equipment hire options and cold rooms for hire available for short or long term requirements.
John has worked at PKL for over 15 years and is PKL Purchasing Manager. John is responsible for sourcing the equipment and spares for PKL’s hire fleet of 55,000 items of catering equipment, and also procures catering equipment for the Rental+ division. Having also worked in our technical support and catering equipment engineering departments for a number of years, there’s not much John doesn’t know about commercial catering equipment, both in terms of how it works and how to keep it running, and what equipment is best for our customers’ requirements.
