In our previous article: Working Principle Of Refrigeration System, we mentioned the refrigerant, which is a chemical fluid called freon and used in the refrigeration cycle system to transfer heat from the interior to the exterior of the fridge, such a working process absorbs the heat in the storage compartment to keep your food at the low temperature for a proper storage condition. Freon is hermetically sealed in the system and keeps flowing all the time, so it may sometimes leak out for some accidents occur and your refrigeration system will fail to work, and eventually cause your food spoilage and some health problems. So, now let’s take some time to learn the signs and symptoms that your commercial refrigerator is leaking refrigerant.
The Compressor & The Condenser Are Constantly Working
Most commercial refrigerators equip with a thermostat to detect the variation of interior temperature. This device keeps the cycle system working when the temperature is below the level that the system requirements for chilling foods, and will stop the system working once the interior temperature up to the required level, such a working principle can low down the power consumption and help save money on the electric bill. But once the refrigerant leaks out, the temperature will not fall down to activate the motor to stop working. Additionally, the motor will be forced to overwork for a long time due to the inadequate amount of freon. That will put the system under excessive working pressure, and cause a series of severe risks.
More Power Consumption
As we all know, refrigeration equipment always consumes power to keep the cycle system running, but an extraordinary higher cost on electric bills is a sign of trouble. As we mentioned above, the temperature fails to go down due to a refrigerant leak, which will cause the refrigeration system to overwork for a long time provided that your system needs to consume more amount of power, forcing an electric consumption more than usual. If you find that your electric bills have started to suddenly increase for some unreasonable reasons, it would be better to check your refrigerator.
Your Food Feels Not Cold
As usual, we can feel cool when we open the fridge door or pull out refrigerated food or a bottle of beer from the storage compartment. But unfortunately, when a refrigerant leak occurs in your fridge, the equipment will not be able to work as usual. This causes that your meats, fish, and produce can not be kept in your refrigerator at a normal temperature, that is to say, your food will easily lose its freshness even leading to spoilage. if you find that the refrigerated items in your fridge are not cold enough, it might be caused by a refrigerant leak. You will need to check your fridge as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary losses once you notice such a sign.
Peculiar Smell
It smells like mold when the refrigerant is leaking, especially if your refrigeration unit is in an enclosed space like a basement. You may first think that there are must be food spoilage that occurs inside your refrigerator if you can’t notice the source of a peculiar smell, so just don’t forget to check the refrigeration cycle system for a freon leak. If you are not familiar with what refrigerant smalls are like, just remember that something smells like mold may come from a refrigerant leak.
Indescribable Sickness
Refrigerant (freon) that circularly flows inside the cycle system, which is tightly sealed to prevent freon leakage and exterior air infiltration. Such a structure design is partly due to the occurrence mentioned above will hamper the cooling system to work, and partly and more importantly due to chemical substances like freon can cause serious health and safety problems when getting into the human body. Absorbing freon can lead to some sicknesses such as nausea, fainting, headache, and so on. That is why refrigeration equipment must be placed at places with good ventilation.
If you notice some signs like what was mentioned above and suspect there may be a refrigerant leak, you can contact a professional refrigeration system maintenance specialist to provide a long-term solution. If you need repair service, make sure to contact the right repair service provider.
