How to adjust the temperature of commercial refrigerator
In the bustling kitchens of hotels and restaurants, a variety of commercial refrigerators play a crucial role. These refrigerators come with both refrigeration and freezing capabilities, tailored to meet specific requirements. Commercial refrigerators have a variety type, such as inverter chiller, inverter freezer, display chiller, chiller, freezer, chiller fridge, counter chiller, counter freezer, stainless steel upright chiller freezer, open chiller, chest freezer and so on.
Temperature Ranges and Controls
Generally, commercial refrigeration units for kitchens have a cooling temperature range of 0 to 10 degrees Celsius. The commercial freezer, on the other hand, typically maintain temperatures between -12 and -18 degrees Celsius.
For specific food storage needs, they can be set to even lower temperatures. Older models of kitchen refrigerators use mechanical temperature controls. To adjust the temperature, you simply turn a dial. The higher the number on the dial, the colder the temperature inside the unit.
Newer models of chiller and freezers employ electronic temperature controls. These advanced systems allow precise temperature adjustments according to specific needs. The temperature displayed on the thermostat is exactly what is maintained inside the fridge or freezer.
Understanding Freezer Performance
It’s important to note the performance of commercial freezers, particularly when they can be set to temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. While reaching -18 degrees Celsius can be relatively quick, lowering the temperature further to -24 degrees celsius takes significantly longer. The reason is that each degree drop below -18 degrees becomes increasingly challenging.
However, over time, the temperature will steadily decrease to the set -20 degrees. Colder temperatures will require more output from the compressor, leading to higher electricity bills and shorter compressor life.
Energy Efficiency and Compressor Functionality
Once the desired temperature is reached, the compressor automatically shuts off. It only restarts when the internal temperature rises again. This cycle ensures that the refrigeration system is not running continuously, thereby optimizing energy efficiency.
Commercial refrigerators operate in cycles. They maintain the set temperature, then rest when the temperature rises slightly, and repeat this process.
Key Considerations for Commercial Refrigeration
- Refrigeration and Freezing Options: Choose the right unit based on your specific cooling and freezing needs.
- Temperature Controls: Decide between mechanical and electronic controls based on your preference for precision and ease of use.
- Freezer Performance: Be aware of the time it takes to reach extremely low temperatures and plan accordingly.
- Energy Efficiency: Understand the cycling process of the compressor to ensure efficient energy use.
