Maximize Efficiency with Advanced Industrial Cooling Solutions
28 February 2024
Cold storage room installation is essential in sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and floristry to preserve product freshness and extend shelf life. Proper planning and installation of these systems directly impact energy efficiency and operational sustainability.
🔧 1. Needs Analysis and Capacity Planning
Before installation, the following questions must be clearly answered:
- What type of product will be stored?
- What temperature range is required? (e.g., +4°C, 0°C, -18°C)
- What is the required storage capacity in cubic meters?
- How often will products be loaded/unloaded?
These factors determine the necessary panel thickness, cooling power, and insulation requirements.
🧱 2. Panel Selection and Insulation
Cold storage panels are typically made of polyurethane core and eccentric lock sandwich panels. Recommended panel thicknesses are:
- For +5°C to 0°C: 8 cm
- For 0°C to -18°C: 10 cm or more
High-density polyurethane insulation is also used for floor insulation.
🚪 3. Door and Accessory Selection
Depending on usage intensity:
- Hinged doors (for low traffic)
- Sliding doors (for high traffic)
- Automatic doors may be preferred.
Gaskets and thermal barriers are critical for minimizing energy loss.
❄️ 4. Refrigeration System Selection
The refrigeration system is selected based on volume and temperature needs. Split-type systems (indoor and outdoor units) are commonly used.
Important features:
- High COP (Coefficient of Performance)
- Automatic defrost function
- Low-noise operation and easy maintenance
⚡ 5. Electrical and Automation Systems
During installation, control panels, alarm systems, and sensors are set up:
- Digital thermostats and humidity sensors
- Door open alarms
- Automatic lighting
A generator or UPS system is also recommended for backup.
🔍 6. Testing and Commissioning
After installation, the following tests must be performed:
- Temperature distribution test
- Air tightness check
- Energy consumption analysis
All test results should be documented in a commissioning report.
✅ Conclusion
Cold storage room installation requires expert engineering, high-quality materials, and detailed planning. With the right system, you can preserve your products’ freshness, save energy, and increase operational efficiency.
