What to Consider When Installing a Cold Storage Design?

What are the key considerations for the installation design of cold storage?

Many businesses utilize cold storage facilities, particularly in industries such as food, fruits and vegetables, and meats, which have varying requirements for storage temperatures. What should be taken into account when installing and designing cold storage? Here are some key points you should not miss.

One: Selection of Cold Storage Installation and Design Materials

Cold storage installations typically feature spray-painted color steel panels as the facade, with rigid polyurethane foam or high-density polyethylene as the insulation material. The storage body boasts good rigidity, high strength, excellent thermal insulation, and flame-retardant properties. Small cold storage designs usually employ pre-buried eccentric hook connections within the panel walls or on-site foaming for firmness, ensuring good sealing, ease of disassembly and transportation, minimal on-site construction and installation work, labor savings, and high quality and effectiveness. 2. Do not use sliding doors as ladders to climb onto the storage roof. If difficulty in opening the door occurs, check if the upper roller is jammed or if there is any debris blocking the lower door body.

Section II: Selection of Cold Storage Installation Design Teams

The small cold storage design features a choice of air-cooled units, offering simplicity, compactness, easy installation, operation, and minimal auxiliary equipment. This type of refrigeration equipment is easily noticeable. The refrigeration unit of the refrigeration unit is the core of the refrigeration equipment. The fully enclosed compressor is characterized by its small size, low noise, low power consumption, high efficiency, and energy-saving capabilities. It is a model for small cold storage design, primarily composed of fully enclosed compressors and air-cooled refrigeration units, which can be mounted on walls as separate air conditioners. Before maintaining the unit, close all shut-off valves on the compressor box to prevent accidents.

Section 3: Cold Storage Installation - Design Settings for Temperature and Humidity

External environment temperature and humidity of the cold storage: Temperature is 35℃; relative humidity is 80%.

2. Refrigeration temperatures in cold storage: Fresh-keeping cold storage: 5～-5℃; Refrigerated cold storage: -5～-20℃; Low-temperature cold storage: -25℃; Food temperature upon entering cold storage: L-grade cold storage: 30℃; D-grade, J-grade cold storage: 15℃.

3. Daily inventory levels account for 8-10% of the cold storage's effective capacity.

Four: The cold storage installation design should be reasonable, and refrigeration equipment should be selected appropriately.

For small cold storage facilities with temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius (-16 degrees), the 10# channel steel should be elevated above the ground (below the storage panels) to allow natural ventilation. The rationality of the configuration of the refrigeration equipment in cold storage projects is crucial. This is because the refrigeration unit is properly selected, with reliable performance, which can meet both the requirements of refrigeration capacity and storage cold storage technology, while also saving energy and having a low failure rate. 2. Civil engineering cold storage is highly adaptable to various types of insulation materials, whether loose or solid, organic or inorganic, making it possible to utilize them according to local conditions.
