Walk-In Cooler Evaporator Coil Cleaning
How important are your Walk-In Cooler Evaporator Coils to your business?
The evaporator coil concerns go beyond the efficiency issues that most company's recognize. A dirty evaporator coil creates an
excellent breeding ground for bacteria and mold that can severly impact the air quality within the walk-in cooler. Cleaning, treating, and
protecting the evaporator coil, condensate pan, and surrounding area is critical. The air moving across these coils will, in most cases,
contain a mixture of dust, dirt, grease, and moisture. Airborne contaminants settle on the coil surfaces, impacting the coil's ability to
transfer heat. Bacteria and mold spores on the evaporator coil will not on reduce heat transfer, but will also contaminate the air within the cooler.
The cost of operating dirty refrigeration equipement is greater than you or your company might suspect. The basic refrigeration cycle is based upon absorbing heat where it is not wanted and transferring it to another place where it is unobjectionable. When coils are dirty this heat transfer process is affected, but it is not the only repercussion. A decrease in system reliability and an increase in power consumption often are the results. However, keeping the evaporator and condenser coils of a refrigeration system clean and free of foreign materials can do more to maintain operating efficiency and increase equipment life than any other preventive maintenance procedure. Put simply, a regularly scheduled system cleaning will help keep your company’s equipment running better and longer. Every part of an operating system must be properly cleaned and treated to function properly and to accomplish its cooling job effectively.
Knowing that you helped restore your company’s equipment to its original operating conditions should have a positive effect on you and your company. Keep in mind, a thorough preventive cleaning program is only as good as the service company that performs the job.
