The Basics of Industrial Cooling Equipment

Refrigeration is the best tool in your kitchen equipment arsenal. Being a commercial refrigeration owner means that it might be helpful to know the basics of your equipment. Here is a brief overview of industrial cooling equipment.

·         Hot Out – The first step in refrigeration is to use a gas, usually, tetrafluoroethane, or HFC, to move through parts of the unit to cool the space. The keys to this include the process of 2^nd Law of Thermodynamics which states that two objects of different temperatures that are close to each other can exchange temps. Meaning that when these chemicals are close to other materials, the chemical becomes warm as the object becomes cooler.

·         Keep It Moving – The second portion is a little easier to understand as it consists of constantly moving the air throughout the space to continue this chemical reaction. As the HFC warms up, it becomes a liquid and then gets evaporated into the air and the cycle continues. This will continue until the space is cooled.
