50 Hotel Operations REFRIGERATION H&MM November 3, 2008 | HotelMotel.com www.HotelMotel.com/digital_edition BY CHRIS CROWELL, ASSOCIATE EDITOR Economy cools refrigeration demand One effect of an economic downturn is the shift of priorities and funds to the bare essentials. Recently, a backof-the-house necessity that’s taken a bit of a back seat is the refrigeration system. “We’ve had some orders canceled by major people who you wouldn’t think would cancel because of [economic] repercussions,” said Randy Augustine, product manager for Hoshizaki America. There is no ﬁnite time to purchase a new system, as it depends on the quality and the care of the system, but full depreciation normally occurs after seven years. And lately, instead of purchasing a new system, hotels are choosing to replace parts—and sometimes they aren’t even doing that. “A lot of foodservice operators have been trying to stretch the length of time their POLAR KING Polar King’s walk-in refrigeration units are built for outdoor use. These units can help decrease building costs, with the outside structure built to withstand the elements for 50 years. equipment will last … especially in kitchens because no one sees it,” Augustine said. Plus, because of escalating costs of raw materials, the cost of quality refrigeration units has been on the rise—a fact that doesn’t help cash-strapped hotels. Quotable “ If [a gasket] is worn or broke, you have a lot of refrigeration leaking out of the cabinet. When the refrigeration leaks out, the compressor has to work harder. When the compressor works harder, it has to run more and gets more worn. It’s a snowball effect because of a worn gasket.” RANDY AUGUSTINE, product manager for Hoshizaki America.
