Cold rooms & commercial in eMalahleni: local notes
Mine kitchens near Kriel and Ogies, contractor caterers and the butcheries and supermarkets around the town centre run cold rooms and multi-deck display fridges hard. Coal grit on rooftop condensing units and evaporator fins is a steady cause of high head pressure and iced coils. Refrigeration contractors from Ferrobank often offer monthly coil cleaning and temperature log checks, and a planned service before the hot, stormy summer months saves many emergency call-outs.
eMalahleni: heat, power and cold chains
In eMalahleni the enemy of a fridge is fine black dust. Coal from the collieries and stockpiles drifts into kitchens, settles on the condenser coils at the back and on the fan blades of shop fridges, and a clogged coil makes the compressor run hot and long. Mine canteens, contractor camps and takeaways near the shafts lean on chest freezers and walk-in cold rooms that seldom get a rest. Hail and lightning in summer, plus power dips, take out start relays and control boards, while frosty winters catch fridges parked in unheated garages. Households in KwaGuqa and Del Judor, spaza owners, butcheries and mine caterers make up most of the requests.
The requests we see from eMalahleni usually come from:
