New commissioning and health check launched

Green Point UK has launched a new commissioning and health check service for refrigeration contractors, designed to ensure optimal performance and longevity of compressors and condensing units.

The annual health checks by Bitzer UK's compressor remanufacturing and specialist service arm are designed to help maintain compressors in peak condition, ensuring they continue to operate within original factory performance parameters. The checks include:

•    Oil analysis to detect potential issues before they cause failures;
•    Testing sensors and capacity controls to verify correct operation;
•    Ensuring units operate within factory-specified limits.

Compressor performance is influenced by the choice of refrigerant and the application. Green Point UK engineers are able to use the full range of analytical tools and draw on the engineering resources of Bitzer headquarters in Germany to optimise compressor performance for a particular application and refrigerant.

Will Pribyl, General manager of Green Point UK, says: "Compressors are at the heart of cooling and heat pump systems. Any performance issues with this key component quickly impact the system’s ability to deliver effective cooling or heating. Our combination of professional commissioning support and annual health checks gives contractors total peace of mind — ensuring systems run as designed, while enhancing the value they offer to end users."

A major UK brewer is among the first to adopt Green Point UK's health check service.
