A cold room is essentially a large fridge or freezer, and so they work in the same way. Refrigeration systems compress a substance known as refrigerant, causing it to expand. As the refrigerant expands it absorbs energy. This process cools down components in the cold room design known as evaporator coils. These evaporator coils get very cold. As air passes over them, it also gets cold. Fans in the cold room refrigeration systems blow and circulate this very cold air all over the cold room.
A cold room is an entire room, chamber, or area that is used for refrigeration purposes or as a freezer. Large areas of cold storage are necessary in many industries. Cold rooms are common in professional kitchens and restaurants. But also in supermarkets, laboratories and in warehouses. Like regular fridges and freezers, they preserve food and other items at temperatures below the outside temperature.
Cold rooms can either be modular structures, walk-in rooms, or external coldroom builds. We specialise in quick, easy, effective modular cold room builds.
Temperatures in cold room refrigerators are typically somewhere between 5°C and 1°C, depending on the chilling sensitivity of fresh food, along with other goods and items. As for cold room freezers, there are two types. Walk-in freezers, common in restaurants and shops, which operate at temperatures as low as -15°C. And pharmaceutical cold rooms, freeze everything inside at temperatures lower than -40°C and more.
Yes, and our modular cold rooms are designed and installed for efficient ventilation in mind. Our expert engineers will make sure everything is set up properly. All you will need to do is enjoy your new walk-in fridge/freezer.
With so many models and brands of cold rooms to choose from on the market, it is wise to have a good idea of what you need and what you are looking for. There are various factors you could base the decision on what kind of cold room to get – whether you want a specific size or shape of cold room or whether you want a standalone cold room or one with a motor.
Before you start picking out your favourite cold room set-up, you need to determine how much space you have for a cold room. Otherwise, not having that information could cause problems further down the line.
If you know whether you will be keeping large quantities of goods in bulk or just a few things at a time, the size and style of cold room you need is very different.
In this day and age, you will likely be interested in purchasing an energy efficient cold room. You need to find out what the energy rating of the model is that you want. If it has a high rating, will it increase your energy bills more than you can handle?
Generally speaking, the best cold room would be one that is reliable, energy-efficient and ideal for its main purpose, keeping your products at the desired storage temperatures.
The features of the cold room you purchase should meet the needs and requirements of your business. It is best to purchase a cold room with an adjustable thermostat and an auto-defrost function as this will give you more flexibility over temperatures.
You should also give important thought to the size and quantity of the shelves and fixtures in a cold room. Finally, it is crucial that there is enough storage space for everything you intend to keep in your cold room.
