This paper presents a mathematical modeling and behaviour analysis of the refrigeration system at Saras Dairy Plant, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Focusing on three critical subunits—the condenser, expansion device, and evaporator—the study employs reliability engineering principles and the Regenerative Point Graphical Technique (RPGT) to quantify system performance. Analytical expressions are derived for mean time to system failure (MTSF), availability, server busy period, and expected maintenance visits, under varying failure and repair rates. Sensitivity analysis reveals the influence of subsystem reliability on plant uptime, maintenance workload, and cost optimization. The findings offer actionable insights for dairy plant managers to optimize preventive maintenance, minimize product losses, and enhance operational efficiency, contributing to improved food safety and economic sustainability.
