The Cost Saving of Preventive Maintenance
Here are some comparisons of cost saving compared to avoidable breakdowns. The higher percentage of cost being breakdowns.
Refrigeration preventive maintenance saves money compared to waiting until a breakdown happens. Here is a common problem that could have been avoided:
Gas and oil leaks from vibrating pipes. Compressor oil and system gas escape from the system. The compressor overheats resulting in irreparable damage. Finally the compressor seizes and fails.
This problem is common when regular preventive maintenance is not completed.
The chart shows how high repair costs are compared maintenance.
Refrigeration preventive maintenance saves money compared to waiting until a breakdown happens. To explain how cost can escalate for repairs when maintenance is not completed, here is a common case of expense that could have been avoided:
Gas and oil leaks from vibrating pipes. The compressor oil and refrigerant gas escape from the system. The system's ability to refrigerate becomes less and less causing the system to run for longer and increases running cost. The compressor overheats resulting in irreparable damage. Finally the compressor seizes and fails.
This is just one example of expensive problems that will happen when regular preventive maintenance is not completed.
The chart shows the cost of preventive maintenance compared to the cost equipment breakdown repair. The higher percentage of cost are breakdowns.
