Walk In Coolers and Freezers can either be as small as a closet or as big as a good sized living room however its main purpose is to provide refrigerated storage for large quantities of food in a central area.</p><p>Experts say that an operation needs a walk in when its refrigeration exceeds 80 cubic feet or if it serves over 250 meals a day.  Yet again one needs to determine how much you will need to store ,  exactly what size of space the storage space must accumulate and also the maximum quantity of goods you will want to have on hand .  The only way in which this can be used wisely is to equip it with shelves which are organized in sections. This will ensure to provide for a more systematic form of storage space.</p><p>Modern walk in coolers and freezers sometimes offer a frozen section which is additional to the regular cooler space.  There are various smart and classy features which can be ordered for walk in coolers and freezers.  Some of these unique features are a thermostat which has a range of 40 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. A monitoring and recording system that either gives to you a print out of the refrigeration temperature or which downloads it to the computer.  Some of them are also equipped with glass full length door panels called merchandising doors which can be either hinged or sliding.   They also have heavy duty plastic strip curtain inside the doors.</p><p>To have more distinguished and practical features for walk in coolers and freezers you can also look out for a foot treadle as it enables you to open the door by pressing the pedal on the leaver when your hands are full. Another distinguished feature is the three way interior lighting which can be turned on from outside as well as inside the cooler having a light on indicator light outside.  When space is a constrain then it is essential to take into consideration whether it is practical to install a outdoor walk in unit also.  This is an extremely economical way of adding space without increasing the size of the kitchen and they are even ready to use, stand alone structures with refrigeration systems and electricity in place available in the market.  They come in standard sizes which range from 8 to 12 feet wide and up to 50 feet in length.  Thus, one can choose the size based on his or her requirements.</p><p>Walk in coolers and freezers are practical for storing large and bulk quantities of food and can be popularly seen in commercial settings, however they seem to be in high demand for house hold settings as well. This is primarily because of the various applications offered by them as some of the households may have requirements related to storage of food material in bulk or in large quantities.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/walk-in-freezers-and-coolers/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Reach in Coolers and Freezers</title><link>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/reach-in-coolers-and-freezers/</link> <comments>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/reach-in-coolers-and-freezers/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Jun 2010 16:36:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://kmarmechanical.com/?p=86</guid> <description><![CDATA[Buying the Right Reach in Cooler and Freezer Reach in coolers and freezers are primarily used to chill raw and cooked food for short term preparation and service.

Under counter coolers keep fresh produce on the line close to the cooks reach.  Glass door units help to quickly identify the contents and are generally used as self service merchandisers at convenience stores and supermarkets.</p><p>Before buying a reach in cooler and freezer, it is vital to take the following things into consideration, that is, one must carefully look into the various features offered and try to match it with the needs one has. Some of these features include:</p><p>Features: A 1-door unit requires one ½ HP compressor, 2-door units use either a ½ Hp or a ¾ HP compressor and a 3-full door unit uses a 1 HP compressor. Units with half door configurations can easily maintain internal cabinet temperatures and save energy costs by allowing less cold air to escape when it is opened. Models which have an expansion valve system for the refrigerant tend to be more efficient and are quicker to recover than those with a capillary tube. Manufacturers are more aware of using environmentally friendly refrigerants such as HCFC -22 and CFC free R-134a.</p><p>Capacity: Depending on the manufacturer 1-section have a storage capacity of 20-25 cubic feet; 2-door units have 46-52 cubic feet and 3-door units 70-80 cubic feet of storage.<br /> Footprint: Prefabricated reach – in units are able to fit into narrow spaces or even under counters to maximize space.  Standard 1-section units can measure 28” wide 32” deep and stand 78”-84” tall. Under Counter units are commonly used about 29.5” tall and the standard widths are 28”, 48”, 60” and 72”.<br /> Energy Source: Under Counters which have one or two door units operate on 115 volts. Larger Capacity units use 208-230 volts.<br /> Temperature Range: Coolers are generally manufactured to maintain an interior temperature of 40 0 F. And freezers on the other hand maintain a temperature of 10 0 – 20 0 F.<br /> Construction: Normally reach in coolers and freezers are manufactured in a combination of both aluminum and stainless steel.  100 % stainless steel units are more expensive but they are also more durable and easier on maintenance.<br /> Maintenance: Both coolers and freezers need to be frequently cleaned and sanitized both in the inside and in the outside.  Units on casters add mobility to ease through cleaning.<br /> Manufacturers : Reach in coolers and freezers are available in various sizes from some leading manufacturers like Coldtech , Artic Air ,  Trauslen , Hoshizaki , Continental Refrigerator ,  True Manufactueres ,  Mc Call ,  Blue Air ,  Master Bill and Metalfrio.</p><p>Most manufacturers provide only a limited number of freezer baskets and cooler wire shelves for each unit however additional baskets, shelves and casters are readily available for separate purchase.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/reach-in-coolers-and-freezers/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ice-O-Matic Dealer Winnipeg</title><link>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/ice-o-matic-dealer-winnipeg/</link> <comments>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/ice-o-matic-dealer-winnipeg/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Jun 2010 16:33:07 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://kmarmechanical.com/?p=83</guid> <description><![CDATA[Beneficial Ice-o-matic Ice Machines An ice machine is a machine which automatically produces ice for drinks.

It plays a vital role in technology as ice is something which is useful especially in summer.</p><p>Looking out for the right ice machine for your business can be a very tough decision.  One of the best ice machines available especially for business needs is the ice-o-matic ice machine. Within this particular brand itself there are a variety of types to choose from.  There is definitely one which will suit your business needs however it is highly necessary to bear three vital factors in mind before settling down on the perfect machine for any business .  Having the right ice machine is very essential to any business that serves drinks. It is important to remember though that you have to find the right one for the right business.  Customers prefer to have a cold drink rather than a hot one.  Hence it is important to make sure that you buy and ice machine which will be able to produce the right amount of ice without any issues.</p><p>The three most important factors to consider before deciding on which type of ice-o-matic machine to get are space, capacity and budget.</p><p>Space: It is essential to determine how much space is available before it is placed.  The reason for this is because you certainly don’t want to get one which is too big for the space and similarly you also won’t want one which takes up much space as it will be an inconvenience and it will always come on the way.  Hence close attention needs to be paid to space and it definitely becomes an important deciding factor.</p><p>Capacity: This is another practical factor to take into consideration ensuring that the ice machine can handle the amount of ice your business will be using everyday. Getting one that can’t do its job is not wise as it will cause all kinds of unnecessary additional problems.  Be sure you know exactly what your ice needs are on a daily basis and make sure that the ice machine will be able to handle these needs effectively , easily and quickly before you purchase one .</p><p>Budget: The budget of every business definitely varies from that of the other business. This is because not every business has the same ice needs.  Finalizing on a budget first is important before choosing your machine so that it doesn’t go over your budget. There are many good ice-o-matic machines which are affordable for any budget. But you have to take the time to look for the desired one.</p><p>The ice-o-matic machines can definitely handle many business ice needs yet it is still important that you choose carefully.  If you just take time to look for it bearing the three vital factors in mind you will certainly find the right one which will not only be the best choice for your business but will also be perfect in terms of space, capacity and budget.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/ice-o-matic-dealer-winnipeg/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Air Conditioner Maintenance Tips</title><link>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/air-conditioner-maintenance-tips/</link> <comments>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/air-conditioner-maintenance-tips/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:59:24 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://kmarmechanical.com/?p=70</guid> <description><![CDATA[Practical Air Conditioner Maintenance Tips These days using air conditioners are certainly on the rise since the temperatures are soaring day by day.  People use it to the fullest to feel cool and comfortable especially in the summer but they don’t take care of their air conditioner during the off season.

This results in a lot of issues especially dust and dirt entering the air conditioner if it is not properly maintained.</p><p>If air conditioners are not maintained properly then they become defunct, thus making you invest a sufficient amount of cash on repairs.  Literally speaking air conditioners are very simple to maintain and they would not only improve the working existence of the air conditioner but it will also bring down your electricity expenses.</p><p>Once you have carefully gone through all the instructions in your handbook and are thoroughly familiar with the components, the next step is the maintenance.</p><p>Air filtration system replacement thermostats and temperature: It is necessary to replace the air filtration system as per recommendations which are given in the handbook carefully.  The more inexpensive the filtration system the more often you will need to replace it. Some filters are intended to be cleaned once a month or once in a quarter months. It’s vital to maintain the temperature degree and keep it running at a constant temperature irrespective of whether you are at home or not.  If the temperature is of the same consistency, then the air conditioner functions less to provide cooling. Some people increase the temperature if they are going out but they don’t realize their mistake that the air conditioner will need to consume more power to awesome the room.</p><p>Cooling Coils and Air Vents: It is important to ensure that cooling coils and air vents are cleaned and examined as soon as they are inside a year.  They can be cleaned by pouring drinking water on them using stress but it is essential to make sure that the device is turned off while doing so.  Also ensure that some kind of absorbent safely exists below the return air vent. This is required for the efficient working of the air conditioner.</p><p>Compressor: The compressor compartments also need to be kept aside from dust and dirt. It’s a good idea to make use of a water hose for getting rid of the dirt.  By doing so you will be able to enable the airflow to function more expeditiously throughout the cooling fins of the compartment. When the air conditioner is not needed like in the winter it is advisable to cover the compress with a cloth as it will prevent dirt from accumulating. It’s equally necessary to examine when the hose connections have leaks and also the condensate tube is capable to drain freely.</p><p>Together with all these air conditioner ideas you also have to get the air conditioner examined by an expert from time to time.   Sustaining it nicely will merely result in less repair costs as well as sensible electricity power expenses.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/air-conditioner-maintenance-tips/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Proper Furnace Maintenance</title><link>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/proper-furnace-maintenance/</link> <comments>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/proper-furnace-maintenance/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:44:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://kmarmechanical.com/?p=68</guid> <description><![CDATA[Guide to Proper Furnace Maintenance It’s your furnace which keeps your home comfortable all year round hence knowing a little about how to maintain your furnace is essential for any homeowner.

Incase you are not away on how to maintain your furnace properly this guide will be of help to you</p><p>Suppose you are having trouble with your furnace make sure that the whole system is turned on and also that the circuit breaker is set properly.  Also be sure that the furnace is properly plugged in and if the furnace still wont come on then you will need to try tripping and resetting all the breakers which are attached to it .</p><p>Incase your furnace keeps blowing fuses or if it keeps tripping circuits then it is best that you don’t attempt fixing the problem yourself since it is probably an electrical issue that needs a professional touch.  Never attempt to fix anything with a gas smell in the house, Instead simply get out and call the fire department and the local gas company.</p><p>If there doesn’t seem to be a major problem however your furnace still won’t work then it is a good idea to try calibrating your thermostat. First thing to do is check that the thermostat isn’t improperly influenced by the outside temperature , by drafts or holes in the walls ,  and then you need to tape a mercury thermometer a few inches away from your thermostat making sure that it isn’t touching the wall by putting it on a piece of paper towel .  Incase the thermostat and the thermometer are more than one degree then you need to clean the thermostat by taking off the fire plate and blowing away the dust. The coils or contact pants need to be cleaned with a soft brush or a new dollar bill.  You then need to check that the screws on your thermometer are tight particularly if it works with a mercury thermometer which may not be completely straight.  After this, check the thermostat again. This is also very important to be ensured.</p><p>In case your temperature is back on track with the actual temperature then you only need to see if the furnace is working properly or else you may need to replace the entire thermostat and this is a more complicated process.</p><p>Suppose your thermostat and furnace aren’t working for any kind of reason then your furnace needs to be worked on.  However it is vital to get a professional to perform an yearly furnace maintenance as you can spend a lot of money on repairs and extra electricity bills if your furnace isn’t properly cleaned and lubricated at the beginning of each heating session. Its advisable to consider doing it middle of summer as you can get an appointment easily and you may be able to get yourself a discount as well as most people will consider doing their furnace maintenance once the summer is over and before the chilly winter season  begins .</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/proper-furnace-maintenance/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Bryant Furnaces and Air Conditioners</title><link>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/bryant-furnaces-and-air-conditioners/</link> <comments>http://kmarmechanical.com/2010/06/bryant-furnaces-and-air-conditioners/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:38:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://kmarmechanical.com/?p=65</guid> <description><![CDATA[Cost Saving Bryant Furnaces Charles Bryant started a tradition way back in 1904.  It went way beyond providing outstanding heating and cooling systems which lives on even today.  Bryant’s main aim was to create products which are experienced those which can be trusted and also which makes homes more comfortable.  From the time it came [...]]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cost Saving Bryant Furnaces</p><p>Charles Bryant started a tradition way back in 1904.  It went way beyond providing outstanding heating and cooling systems which lives on even today.  Bryant’s main aim was to create products which are experienced those which can be trusted and also which makes homes more comfortable.  From the time it came into being till date Bryant has varied and extensive hard working products like air conditioners ,  gas and oil furnaces ,  fan coils , boilers ,  heat pumps ,  humidifiers ,  ventilators and other quality accessories .
