Refrigeration FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Yes. Our industrial-grade controllers can interface with Building Management Systems or SCADA networks, allowing centralised monitoring and alerts.
Every 6–12 months is standard. Power Control Industries provides full audit reports with thermal mapping, energy efficiency scores, and repair recommendations.
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.
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.
