Refrigeration FAQs

What is the difference between commercial and industrial refrigeration systems?

Commercial refrigeration systems are typically smaller and used in restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores. Industrial refrigeration systems are much larger and more complex, designed to handle heavy-duty cooling loads in industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing.

How often should I schedule maintenance for my refrigeration unit?

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. It's recommended to schedule quarterly maintenance checks for commercial units to ensure efficiency and prevent costly repairs.

What are the recommended storage temperatures for different types of perishable items?

Refrigerated food items are typically stored at temperatures between 1.7°C and 3.3°C, while frozen food is stored at temperatures of -18°C or below. Specific temperature requirements may vary for different types of products.

How can I improve energy efficiency in commercial refrigeration?

To enhance energy efficiency, consider investing in energy-efficient refrigeration units, ensuring proper insulation and sealing of doors, minimizing the frequency of door openings, using LED lighting, implementing temperature controls and automation systems, and conducting regular maintenance.

What should I do if my refrigeration unit isn’t cooling properly?

Temperature issues could be due to various factors like dirty condenser coils or faulty components. It's best to get a professional to assess the problem to avoid costly breakdowns.

Do you offer emergency refrigeration breakdown services after hours?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency breakdown support for all PCI clients, including commercial kitchens and remote mine site fridges. Contact Us to organise a tailored package.

Is refrigeration installation available for new commercial builds?

Absolutely. We work alongside builders and shopfitters to install cold rooms, under-bench systems, blast chillers, and more.

How does Power Control Industries handle refrigeration servicing in remote FIFO or regional locations?

We deploy licensed technicians via FIFO or regional contractors, backed by remote diagnostic tools and local warehousing of common parts.

Can Power Control Industries integrate refrigeration systems into existing BMS or SCADA platforms?

Yes. Our industrial-grade controllers can interface with Building Management Systems or SCADA networks, allowing centralised monitoring and alerts.

How often should industrial refrigeration systems be audited for compliance and performance?

Every 6–12 months is standard. Power Control Industries provides full audit reports with thermal mapping, energy efficiency scores, and repair recommendations.

What’s the recommended schedule for test and tag of refrigeration equipment?

Test and tag frequency depends on your workplace environment and risk level. In most commercial settings, equipment should be tested every 6 to 12 months. Higher-risk environments, such as workshops or hospitality, may require more frequent testing. We can assess your site and set a tailored tagging schedule to meet compliance standards. Contact us to arrange an assessment.

What’s the difference between Ammonia and HFC systems for large-scale industrial refrigeration?

Ammonia systems are more efficient for large plants but require strict handling. Power Control Industries advises on best-fit systems based on scale, safety, and sustainability targets.
