How to Detect Refrigeration System Leaks with Temperature Monitoring
Proper refrigeration is crucial for Canadian food service operators and owners to maintain the quality and safety of their food inventory. Refrigeration system leaks can cause significant problems such as food spoilage, equipment damage, and increased energy costs. Detecting these leaks early on can save food service operators and owners a lot of time and money, and the best way to do so is through temperature monitoring. In this blog post, we will discuss how temperature monitoring can help detect refrigeration system leaks and how Stratosfy’s Deskless Operations Platform can help Canadian food service operators and owners achieve this.
Detecting Refrigeration System Leaks
Refrigeration leaks can occur in any part of the system, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, or piping. These leaks can cause the refrigerant to escape, leading to a decrease in the system’s cooling capacity and an increase in energy consumption. Detecting these leaks as early as possible is crucial for preventing equipment damage and food spoilage.
One way to detect refrigeration system leaks is through temperature monitoring. A refrigeration system leak can cause the temperature of the refrigeration unit to rise above the normal range. Temperature monitoring can help detect ths rise in temperature and alert food service operators and owners to investigate the cause of the issue.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, refrigerant leaks can lead to a significant increase in energy consumption, resulting in higher utility bills. Leaks can also cause equipment damage and reduce the lifespan of refrigeration units. In addition, food spoilage due to improper temperature management can result in significant financial losses for food service operators and owners.
Stratosfy’s Deskless Operations Platform
Stratosfy’s Deskless Operations Platform is a connected technology that helps food service operators and owners automate their temperature monitoring and equipment maintenance. This platform uses wireless temperature sensors, probes, cloud dashboards, and mobile applications to provide a comprehensive 360-degree view of equipment operations.
The Deskless Operations Platform enables Canadian food service operators and owners to monitor their refrigeration units in real-time and receive instant notifications when temperatures fall out of the operating range. This helps detect refrigeration system leaks early on, preventing food spoilage and equipment damage.
In addition, the Deskless Operations Platform provides accurate tracking of repair costs inline with equipment incidents. This helps Canadian food service operators and owners manage their repair costs per each piece of equipment, location, and business. The platform also allows operators to monitor repair costs using invoices uploaded by the vendor.
