If you consider your average family car. How often will it receive a service? Every 12,000 miles perhaps. If the car is usually driven at a city speed of 30mph, this would rack up 400 hours of operation. Whereas, a refrigeration compressor that operates all year, would run for a staggering 8,760 hours! It’s doing exactly the same compression cycles as a car.
Keeping a close eye on your refrigeration compressor will of course ensure the smooth running of your equipment.
It’s always important to stick with the manufacturer’s recommendations and currently manufacturers are extending the servicing intervals with the improvement in technology.
