Introduction
During summer, cold rooms face their biggest challenge. High outside temperatures increase the load on compressors, and any failure can translate into major losses. In this article, we show how IoT monitoring can anticipate problems and keep your operation stable even in the most critical months.
1. Thermal overload and loss of efficiency
When ambient temperature exceeds 30 ?C, refrigeration systems must run longer to maintain internal temperature. This overload can raise electricity consumption and cause overheating failures. Intelligent monitoring detects abnormal increases in cycle time or consumption, alerting you before the compressor is damaged.
2. Refrigerant leaks and reduced cooling capacity
Sharp pressure and temperature swings can accelerate refrigerant loss. Without inline sensors, these leaks go unnoticed until the room can no longer maintain the desired temperature. With IoT, pressure or temperature deviations are detected instantly, allowing intervention without stopping production.
3. Power cuts or low voltage on the grid
In summer, increased energy demand often causes voltage drops or intermittent outages. An IoT monitoring system records these events and correlates them with thermal alarms, helping differentiate an electrical failure from a mechanical one and respond quickly.
Solution: QBIT Predictive Monitoring
With cloud-connected sensors, QBIT lets you visualize compressor status, ambient temperature, and cold rooms in real time. Automatic WhatsApp or email alerts warn you before a critical failure. Learn how to protect your cold chain with QBIT.
Predictive maintenance and continuous monitoring are the best defense against summer heat.
