By and large, the climate for this part of the country is such that there is a continual need to keep many different things cool or even frozen – especially with respect to food and beverages of all types. Whether it is the relatively small fridges and freezers that we have at home or the huge cold storage rooms for storing anything from frozen meat to vegetables and not forgetting those cooler units that our beer passes through on its way from keg to our glass. Keeping something at a temperature lower than the surrounding ambient is the name of the game.
How Cold Should It Be?
Under normal pressure conditions, water basically freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius to those who use that system of measurement) and, although most of the things that we wish to preserve by keeping them cool or cold contain water in some form or another, freezing that water is not always good for the item. To make ice cubes we have to go below 32 ° F but to keep a soda deliciously cool we do not want to drop much below about 37 to 40 degrees.
Additionally, there will always be some air present within the storage space and that air will contain moisture which can freeze and cause a build up of frost within the space. This frost build up can interfere with the efficiency of the cooling equipment.
Temperature Settings & Defrosting
With all the variables involved in what is to be preserved or cooled plus the large number of different sizes and types of equipment involved, it is very necessary to have Refrigeration Controls In California to ensure that each application is carried out correctly. In whatever way the cold is generated, energy will be consumed in the process and energy costs money. These days, we are all encouraged to use energy wisely and not to waste it.
Even our domestic fridges now come with elementary computer systems that monitor the temperature and other conditions within them and make adjustments to the cooling process as and when required. Imagine the waste that could happen in (say) a large refrigerated meat storage warehouse at a meat packaging plant were it to be operated without any Refrigeration Controls In California. Computer systems that increase cooling when doors are opened – especially if fresh (i.e. warm) contents are coming in – and then cut it down as everything reaches optimal coldness. Such Refrigeration Controls For California can also detect when defrosting should be carried out.
Turn Key Systems, Inc design and construct all sorts of refrigerated installations so it goes without saying that they only use the best refrigeration controls for California.
