Parts, gas & equipment in Richards Bay: local notes
Alton industrial area and central Empangeni have refrigeration wholesalers and spares counters, though some specialised parts still come from Durban. Coated condenser coils, fan motors, door seals and refrigerant are in steady demand because of the salt and heat. In Esikhaleni, eNseleni and Ngwelezane, chest freezers are bought for bulk meat and for selling ice and cold drinks from home, so ask about running costs in the heat.
Fridges and refrigeration in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and heavy industry town on the Zululand coast, hot and humid for much of the year with salt air off the sea and the harbour. Aluminium smelting, the coal terminal, heavy minerals mining and timber and paper processing employ many people, and their canteens, offices and contractors' camps all need refrigeration. Homes in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood sit close to the sea, so condenser corrosion is common, while Esikhaleni and eNseleni have many spaza shops and taverns. Empangeni and Felixton are sugar cane and timber country. The most common requests are coil replacement, regassing, display cooler repairs and industrial cold room maintenance for food and canteen suppliers.
The requests we see from Richards Bay usually come from:
- Factories and cold stores: replacement controls for canteen fridges and water coolers
- Households: a new dial thermostat for a fridge that freezes the milk and lettuce
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a control for a drinks cooler that runs non-stop and ices over
