REFRIGERATION CHAMBERS
Cold storage rooms are specialized spaces or devices used for storing perishable goods at low temperatures. These rooms play a crucial role in many industries, including food, pharmaceutical, hospitality, chemistry, and healthcare.
Types of cold storage rooms: Cold storage rooms for positive temperature mode (above freezing): These rooms maintain temperatures above freezing, typically between 0°C and 10°C. They are used for storing fresh products such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat, and fish. Cold storage rooms for negative temperature mode (below freezing): These rooms maintain temperatures below freezing, typically between -18°C and -25°C. They are used for storing products that are already frozen. Combined storage rooms: These rooms have separate sections for both chilled and frozen conditions.
APPLICATION FOR COLD STORAGE ROOMS:
Food industry: Storage of raw materials and finished products to extend their shelf life.
Pharmaceutical industry: Storage of medicines and medical products that require controlled temperatures.
Hospitality and retail: Restaurants and hotels use cold storage rooms for food storage.
Logistics and transport: Transportation of food, medicines, and other perishable products. Distribution centers for storing large quantities of goods.
Industry: Chemical industry to produce chemicals, storage of raw materials, and electronics manufacturing.
Healthcare: Storage of medicines, blood derivatives, and other medical products in hospitals, as well as preservation of samples and reagents in laboratories.
COMPONENTS OF COLD STORAGE ROOMS:
- Insulation: Walls, floors, and ceilings are made from high-quality insulation materials to reduce energy loss.
- Cooling systems: Include compressors, condensers, evaporators, and control units to maintain the desired temperature.
- Temperature and humidity control: Advanced systems allow precise adjustment and monitoring of internal conditions.
- Doors: Specially designed to minimize cold air loss when opening.
MAITANANCE AND SAFETY OF COLD STORAGE ROOMS:
Regular maintenance: Essential for the longevity and efficiency of the storage room. It includes cleaning, system checks, and replacement of faulty components.
Safety measures: Include alarm systems for temperature increases, backup power generators, and security locks to ensure safety and proper functioning.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTY OF COLD STORAGE ROOMS:
Energy efficiency: Modern technology enables reduced energy consumption, optimizing performance while minimizing environmental impact.
Eco-friendly refrigerants: The use of refrigerants that are less harmful to the ozone layer and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF COLD STORAGE ROOM COMPONENTS:
Insulation material: Polyurethane: A highly efficient insulation material commonly used for its durability and exceptional thermal properties.
Refrigeration system: Compressor systems: The most commonly used systems, including compressors, condensers, evaporators, and expansion valves.
Control systems: Thermostats and sensors: Precisely control the temperature inside the storage room.
Automated systems: May include humidity control, monitoring systems, and alarm systems to detect faults or deviations from set conditions. Remote management and monitoring: Modern refrigeration systems often include remote control and monitoring capabilities through the internet or specialized applications.
Doors and access: Cold storage swing doors: Specially designed to minimize cold loss and may be equipped with seals and heaters to prevent freezing. Sliding doors: Used in larger storage rooms to save space and provide easy access. Automatic doors: Often connected with sensors to facilitate hands-free access.
