You can install an excellent refrigeration plant and still lose efficiency at the doorway. Warm, moist air entering a cold chamber forces the system to remove heat and moisture it should never have seen.
At EJM Refrigeration we see the same pattern across industrial and commercial sites: small issues left unresolved become expensive interruptions. A clear plan, competent engineers and timely maintenance keep temperatures stable and costs under control.
What ingress does to plant
Ice build-up rises, defrost cycles lengthen, evaporators frost faster and energy use climbs. Product near doors also suffers more temperature abuse.
Simple operational wins
- Maintain strip curtains and rapid doors
- Train teams on door-open times
- Repair damaged seals quickly
- Review traffic routes that leave doors open
- Use air curtains where they genuinely help
Engineering and operations together
EJM looks at both plant condition and how the building is used. Fixing the doorway often unlocks savings that a compressor upgrade alone cannot deliver.
If your site is planning works, reviewing energy use, or simply needs a reliable service partner, our team can help from initial survey through installation and ongoing maintenance.
If you would like advice on your plant, a site survey, or a planned maintenance proposal, contact EJM Refrigeration on 01429 836161 or email [email protected].
