Global warming is a very real phenomenon that has already been shown to have serious consequences, including polar ice melting, natural habit and precipitation pattern disruption, and a global temperature increase. The United States, in an effort to reduce the amount of hazardous emissions released into the atmosphere, has started taking steps to transform the way many industries design their products. One such industry is refrigeration manufacturing. Beginning in the spring of 2017, refrigeration manufacturers will need to comply with EPA-mandated energy efficiency standards that will, depending on the type of refrigeration, require an energy-level reduction of up to 50%. In order to meet this goal, companies like True Manufacturing are coming up with a number of solutions, including the hydrocarbon refrigerant.

Take some of the hassle out of maintaining your commercial refrigeration products with Turbo Air. Turbo Air’s new refrigeration line(including reach-ins, undercounter units, prep tables, worktop units, chef bases,and more) now includes a self-cleaning condenser that takes convenience to a whole new level. Condensers normally are cleaned only twice a year, and a lot of debris can build up over that time, reducing the efficiency of your condenser and possibly even causing your commercial refrigerator to break down. The self-cleaning condenser system works to prevent this strain on both your condenser and your budget by cleaning the condenser 2-3 times a day. It operates by using a rotating brush designed to move along the condenser coils automatically, which will remove any dust and other debris that has accumulated.
The first refrigeration systems simply used ice to keep their contents at the proper temperature. Nowadays, an elaborate system involving a condenser, compressor, evaporator, and other parts is used to keep your food cool. While this new system usually involves less effort on our part, certain preventative maintenance is required to ensure your commercial refrigerator is as efficient as possible for as long as possible. One part of this maintenance involves cleaning your condenser coils at least twice a year to remove hair and dust buildup. The condenser is designed to collect and release heat from inside the fridge; when dust and other debris build up on its surface, it is unable to release heat as efficiently, which can cause problems for your refrigerator. Thankfully, cleaning these coils is a fairly simple process.
