The Significance of refrigeration in hospitals for happy patients

by Maureen Templeton

If food were not kept in refrigeration, food would spoil and if we ate it, we'd become sick. It is critical to be aware that a refrigerator slows down the growth of bacteria. It's a fact that bacteria grow speedily at temperatures in the range of 40 to 140 degrees. That is why it is vital to set your refrigerator temperature at 40 degrees or below.

Some fridges have built-in thermometers and that maintains the internal temperature of the fridge. If a hospice has a chiller that does not have this feature, an appliance thermometer ought really to be kept in the chiller to check the temperature. When a power outage occurs and lasts for over 2 hours at 40 degrees or higher, food should never be eaten.

Hot foods must not be placed in a refrigerator till they have cooled down some. They can be chilled by putting them into a container of ice or cold water for a while before putting them into the refrigerator. Foods also should be covered before being put into the refrigerator. That way they are going to keep clammy and will not pick up odors from other foods.

Remember that foods that expire speedily such as lettuce, celery and others should not be kept in the door of the fridge. Poultry products such as eggs ought to be kept on a shelf within the carton they came in. Most vitally, keep the door of the refrigerator closed as much as possible.

In today's medical world most refrigerators don't need somebody to defrost them but there are still fridges that have to be defrosted. As you start to defrost a chiller, foods must be kept cold. This can be done by putting food into a cooler with a something that is cold like cold packet. Then, continue on with the defrosting and never employ a knife or sharp object to remove frost. This may damage the inner lining of the refrigerator.

It is also really important to keep your fridge serviced by <a href="http://www.g2ref.co.uk/refrigeration.htm">qualified refrigeration engineers</a>. Any spills that occur should be cleaned asap; otherwise they are going to be hard to clean and will create an odour.
