In order for your refrigeration equipment to work reliably and serve for a long time, we recommend following a few simple tips when operating it:

Any refrigeration machine should cool appropriately... For this, special slots (nets) are provided in the housing of the refrigeration equipment, which cannot be blocked in any case - otherwise the air access to the refrigeration unit stops, the refrigeration machine overheats, which can lead to its failure.

Observance of the proper temperature regime is of great importance for maintaining the performance of your equipment: operating the refrigeration machine in a room with elevated temperature air can lead to the activation of the protective devices of the motor-compressor, or to premature failure of the motor-compressor. Try to locate the chiller in a place with good ventilation, or provide forced cooling of the room in which the chiller is operated.

At the same time, the operation of the refrigeration machine in a room with low temperature air can lead to a decrease in pressure in the refrigeration system to an unacceptable one and, as a result, to premature failure of the motor-compressor.

The presence in the air of the room where the refrigeration machine is operated, oil vapors provokes rapid pollution of the refrigeration unit. Preventive cleaning of the condensers of refrigeration machines operating in such conditions should be carried out at least twice as often.

Here are the basic rules adopted for the operation of refrigerators and freezers:

1. It is necessary to stack the goods correctly: products should not obstruct the air cooler;

2. It is preferable to store hermetically sealed products (especially fish) in the refrigerator. Poorly packaged products release an excessive amount of moisture, and a snow "coat" very quickly forms on the air cooler of the refrigerating chamber;

3. It is necessary to regularly defrost the refrigerating chamber and disinfect it in accordance with the operating instructions;

4. Do not overload refrigerator compartment products, fill it up to the eyeballs, filling the entire volume. Do not allow food to come into contact with the refrigerator compartment panels. There must be a distance between the rows of stacked products to ensure free air circulation inside the refrigerating chamber;

5. Operate the refrigerator compartment only in accordance with temperature conditions storage of a specific group of goods, it is impossible to store fresh meat with a temperature of +2 ° C in a refrigerator with a temperature of -18? C and use the refrigerator to freeze products. If it is necessary to freeze or refrigerate products in storage rooms, the company that sells refrigeration equipment must be notified in order to avoid further problems with the implementation of the warranty (does not apply to equipment that is not used for its intended purpose).

entrust the installation, start-up and operation of the unit to random persons;

start and operate the unit with faulty or incomplete electrical equipment, without a fan assembly, without grounding or with unreliable grounding, with exposed live parts;

switch on, even for a short time, the unit with a closed discharge valve, if any. To avoid compressor breakdown, the discharge valve should be fully open before starting the unit;

operate a unit with a refrigerant leak (permissible leakage 0.5 g / year), such unit must be turned off immediately. Smoking and working with open fire are not allowed near the unit with a freon leak;

Machines and apparatus of refrigeration units are placed so as to ensure their normal maintenance and repair.

Maintenance of a refrigeration unit consists in preparing it for operation, starting up, regulating the supply of refrigerant to evaporation system, taking care of the refrigeration unit during operation, stopping and shutting down machines and devices, observing safety regulations, keeping machines and working rooms clean and in good working order, as well as filling out the necessary reporting documentation.

Joining shift personnel on duty begins with checking the records in the operating log of the refrigeration station, and ends with monitoring the temperatures at the main points of the refrigeration cycle and checking the operation of the refrigeration station equipment.

Both shifts - handing over and receiving - sign on the delivery and acceptance of the shift in the journal.

The attendants periodically check the amount and density of the brine, the supply of water to the condensers, the serviceability of the emergency ventilation, the availability of necessary spare parts, materials and tools, and personal protective equipment. Special attention should be given to checking the condition of the rubbing parts of the compressors and pumps, the operation of the oil system, valves and oil seals.

For the convenience of the service personnel, viewing lights or other devices are installed on the cooling water pipelines to monitor the water flow.

In various places of the refrigeration unit, nests are also arranged for devices required both for constant monitoring of the unit's operation and for periodic tests... Manometers, thermometers, ammeters and others measuring instruments installed so that when the installation is started, they are in the field of view of the driver and his assistant.

Automatic control valves are usually duplicated by manual ones. This allows you to continue to generate cold in the event of failure of some of the automatic control devices.

Medium and large refrigeration units are mainly operated with a manual start system. Their technical operation is quite complicated and requires deep knowledge from the service personnel. physical foundations receiving cold, the device of machines, apparatus, devices, fittings and rules for handling them.

To facilitate the work of personnel in the engine rooms of refrigeration stations, piping diagrams, equipment layout plans, information about the main parameters of refrigeration units, consumption rates of refrigerant, oil, electricity, safety posters, and preventive inspection and repair schedules are posted.

In order to orient the maintenance personnel in branched pipelines, they are painted in conventional colors. The most commonly used colors are:
for refrigerant pipelines: discharge - red, liquid - yellow, suction - blue;
for brine pipelines: pressure - green, return - brown;
for water pipelines: pressure - blue, return - purple.

If there are several cold parameters, conditional rings are also applied to the painted pipelines, showing which machine this pipeline belongs to.

Efficient and reliable operation of any refrigeration unit depends not only on the good technical condition of the equipment, but also on its competent operation. Operators, their assistants, apparatchiks, locksmiths and electricians on duty, subordinate to the shift supervisor of the refrigeration station, are directly monitoring the operation of the equipment.

Their main task is to maintain the specified operating parameters of refrigeration machines with the lowest energy and operating materials consumption and strict adherence to safety regulations.

To successfully complete the tasks facing the operating personnel, it is necessary:
high quality and serviceability of equipment;
provision of control and measuring devices;
availability of spare parts, tools and repair devices;
availability of refrigerant, coolant, water, lubricating oils, instrumentation air, operating materials and energy resources;
correct filling of systems with refrigerant and refrigerant; no contamination on heat transfer surfaces; timely prevention and repairs; maintenance of a shift journal with the identification of violations of the operating mode;
high qualification of service personnel.

The operation of refrigeration units is regulated by special instructions. Failure to comply with them may lead to a violation technological process among consumers of cold and an increase in energy consumption for obtaining cold.

Subsequence individual operations when starting and stopping and the maintenance procedure depends on the design and operational features of the refrigeration unit, which must be reflected in the service manual.

This chapter discusses the basic rules and techniques for the operation of the most common types of large refrigeration units, which in each individual case must be specified in accordance with the start-up instructions of the equipment manufacturers. Having studied these techniques, the future driver or operator will be able to master the procedure for starting, regulating and stopping refrigeration units of any systems.

Persons who have reached the age of eighteen, have passed a medical examination and have a certificate of completion of training in their chosen specialty are allowed to operate industrial refrigeration units.

The maintenance personnel must know well and strictly follow the rules and instructions for the operation and repair of equipment and instruments of refrigeration stations. The machine rooms of refrigeration stations are the workplace of the driver and his assistant. Pumping and equipment departments are serviced by apparatchiks subordinate to the driver and coordinating all their actions with him.

The personnel of refrigeration stations annually pass exams of the qualification commission. The results of the examinations are recorded in a protocol. Individuals who have passed these exams are issued special certificates.
