SESSION 3
System maintenance and performance benefits

In 2022, SuperTest (a division of the SuperCool Group) carried out a series of performance tests of common faults in a walk-in cool room and refrigerated display cabinet for the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. The faults simulated are simple, preventable faults that commonly occur in everyday systems. The results indicate how simple maintenance and good practice can overcome these faults and help reduce emissions and improve overall performance.

This session will present the test procedure and test results while highlighting the benefits of simple regular maintenance for heat exchangers.

This session is presented by:

  • Rene Le Miere, M.AIRAH – SuperCool (LinkedIn)


SuperCool Group disclose that they are the distributor for Viper HVAC&R Cleaning Chemicals. They will not be discussing product performance.
