Compressors are used in all kinds of restaurant equipment from refrigerators and freezers to walk-ins, from merchandisers and display cabinets to condiment and frozen beverage dispensers and much more. A compressor is a mechanical device (a motor) that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume to affect cooling via the transfer of heat.
Compressors used in refrigeration systems are often described as being either "hermetic" or "semi-hermetic". The difference between the hermetic and semi-hermetic types is their design and construction. A hermetic compressor has a one-piece welded steel casing that cannot be opened for repair -- if the hermetic unit fails, it is simply replaced with an entirely new one. A semi-hermetic compressor uses a large cast metal shell with gasketed covers and screws that can be opened in order to replace the motor and other internal components.
Relays are electrical devices that are used to control circuits in restaurant equipment and other types of machinery. They work by using a small electrical current to control a larger current, allowing a low-power control circuit to switch a high-power circuit on or off.
In restaurant equipment, relays can be used to control a variety of functions, such as turning on and off motors, controlling heating elements, and activating alarms. For example, a relay might be used to turn on a refrigerator's compressor when the temperature inside the fridge reaches a certain level, or to turn off a stove's heating element when the temperature reaches a certain point. Relays are often used in restaurant equipment because they can handle large amounts of current and are able to switch circuits on and off quickly and reliably.
Start components are commonly used in restaurant equipment, particularly in refrigeration and cooling systems. Start components are designed to provide the necessary power to start the compressor in the refrigeration or cooling system.
The two most common start components are the "start relay" and the "start capacitor."
A start relay is an electromechanical device that is used to temporarily bypass the start winding of the compressor motor during the start-up process. This helps to provide the initial boost of power needed to start the compressor motor, after which the start relay switches off and the motor runs on its main winding.
A start capacitor is an electrical device that stores energy and releases it quickly to provide the initial boost of power needed to start the compressor motor. It is usually used in conjunction with the start relay to help the compressor motor start up more smoothly and efficiently.
Start components are essential to ensuring the proper operation of refrigeration and cooling systems in restaurant equipment, while prolonging the useful life of these systems by reducing wear and tear on the compressor motor.
