Malfunctioning cooler 

To maintain a steady cash flow and a healthy profit margin, owners of restaurants and supermarkets are obliged to stock their shelves with various food items. 

Some would make substantial expenditures in enormous refrigeration equipment to meet the need for cold storage. 

Yet, there are a large number of people who recognise the long-term benefits of using coolrooms and have a strong desire to do so.

The capability of coolrooms to keep a constant temperature makes them suitable for storing perishable goods. 

Also, they can store stuff for extended periods without worrying about the commodities degrading. 

Although the significant function of coolrooms is to maintain a constant temperature and the necessary conditions for objects to preserve their freshness, these facilities also prioritise and maximise health and safety.

Using coolrooms to their total capacity is only possible when operating at their optimum levels of efficiency. 

If, on the other hand, your coolroom is malfunctioning, there are a few things you should check before contacting us for help.

Ineffective Temperature Control System

Holding products in coolrooms beyond the capacity for which they were initially designed is widespread among business owners. 

Suppose the thermostat in the coolroom abruptly stops functioning after the maximum number of products that can be stored inside. In that case, the coolroom may have achieved its maximum temperature and been overheated. 

However, suppose the thermostat fails to accurately detect the appropriate cooling demand for the space. In that case, air temperature fluctuations may still occur even though the products are stored within the permitted temperature range. 

Once you’ve determined that the thermostat is malfunctioning, it’s time to get professional assistance.

Many Issues with the Vapor Barrier

Coolrooms commonly need help with both their walls and ceilings. 

Walls and ceilings that have begun to disintegrate are one of these issues. 

Even though the walls and ceiling of your coolroom are made of solid material, they are nevertheless susceptible to deterioration in the absence of a vapour barrier. 

Walls and ceilings may decay due to improper installation of this barrier. 

If the vapour barrier is not installed correctly, the walls and ceiling of your coolroom will quickly become a water hazard.

As a result of the high temperatures, there is discomfort.

If the surface temperature of the coolroom fluctuates, it is common for mould to begin growing on the walls and ceiling. 

Mould growth is another concern due to the coolroom’s variable humidity. 

If the temperature within the coolroom is lower than the air temperature outside, condensation and mould development may occur on the surface of the coolroom. 

Both insufficient wall insulation and ventilation contribute to the development of this issue.

Inadequacies in the Cold Room’s Building

The coolroom can only malfunction if the room’s general layout is efficient and satisfies the business’s needs. 

Many types of perishables require various temperatures for optimal storage. Hence incorrect compartmentalisation of a refrigerator or freezer can increase food spoiling and supply losses. 

Inadequate compartmentalisation of coolrooms, along with the absence of an automated defrosting system, a temperature that can be adjusted, and several other essential features, can exacerbate current problems with the room.

If you discover any of these problems in your coolroom, inform the proper people immediately. 

Please do not hesitate to contact ALKCOOL Commercial Refrigeration if you require repair services for your coolroom.
