Construction of cold storage is a detailed and multi-stage engineering project that requires compliance with technical, health and safety standards. To better understand this process, it can be divided into 5 key steps.
The main steps to run a standard cold storage
Before any action, the purpose must be determined: type of product: the temperature required for meat, dairy, fruit or medicine is different (refrigerator above zero or below zero).
Capacity and volume: based on the amount of production or distribution, the size and height of the cold store is calculated.
Construction site: Proximity to the electricity grid, access to main roads and infrastructure facilities are checked at this stage.
The refrigerator acts like a flask and should have minimal heat exchange with the outside environment:
Flooring: implementation of concrete pouring with high resistance and use of thermal insulation (such as polystyrene or polyurethane) to prevent the transfer of cold to the ground.
Sandwich panel: using sandwich panels with suitable thickness (injected polyurethane) for walls and roof for complete isolation.
This section includes the mechanical equipment that performs the cooling process:
Compressor: It has the task of compressing the refrigerant gas.
Condenser: it expels the heat taken from inside the cold room to the outside.
Evaporator (fan coil): distributes cool air inside the hall.
Faucets and piping: using control equipment to accurately adjust temperature and pressure.
Temperature control is critical to prevent product spoilage:
Electrical panel and PLC: operation management of compressors and defrost systems.
Monitoring systems: the ability to observe the temperature remotely and send an alert in case of failure or temperature fluctuation.
Cold storage doors: special doors with strong insulation and a heating system to prevent hinges from freezing.
Shelving: using stainless material (steel or galvanized) for better air circulation.
Lighting system: use of anti-humidity and anti-explosion lamps for cold storage.

To build a standard and efficient cold store, the parts are divided into two main categories of main equipment (refrigeration cycle) and construction equipment (body and insulation). Ms. Nowrozinia, I have separated the list of key parts for each section for you:
This department is responsible for cold production and is the most important cost and technical part of the project:
* Compressor: the heart of the system that compresses the refrigerant gas (piston, screw or scroll models).
* Condenser: transfers the heat absorbed from the refrigerator to the ambient air (usually it is air-conditioned).
* Evaporator: It is installed inside the cold room and by passing the ambient air over the cold coils, it cools the interior.
* Expansion Valve: It has the task of accurately adjusting the flow rate of refrigerant entering the evaporator.
* Receiver: Refrigerant storage tank in the refrigeration cycle.
* Power and controller board (PLC): the mastermind of the system that manages temperature, defrost time and fan operation.
* Valves and control equipment: including sight glass (to observe the gas condition), filter drier (to absorb moisture), pressure switches (for gas pressure safety) and electric valve (solenoid valve).
These parts ensure that the produced cold remains in the confined environment:
* Sandwich panel: metal sheets (color galvanized) between which polyurethane foam is injected. The thickness of these panels is different depending on the cold room temperature (above zero or below zero).
* Cold storage door: special doors that have compact insulation and a heating system around the door (to prevent the door from freezing and sticking).
* Flooring (Floor Structure): Using compressed insulation layers (such as XPS) on the floor, concrete is poured on it and finally covered with anti-slip sheets or steel.
* Profiles and installation accessories: special corners and flushes are used to connect sandwich panels and seal the corners.
* Lighting system: lights for cold storage that are resistant to high humidity and low temperature (usually LED with protection degree IP65 and above).
* Warning systems: alarm or SMS notification system that is activated in case of unauthorized temperature change or door being left open for a long time.
* Racking: stainless steel or hot galvanized shelves for product arrangement and better air circulation.
Key guide for cold storage construction consultation
Building a cold storage is an important investment that requires careful planning and technical knowledge. Expert advice before construction is the key to the success of your project. The purpose of this article is to provide a key summary of the essential points to start this path.
The first step is to know the exact product that is going to be kept in the cold storage. The temperature and humidity required for different types of products (fruit, meat, medicine, dairy) are different. Do you need a cold room above zero or below zero? This issue determines the basis of the design.
Based on the volume of the product, the amount of incoming and outgoing goods, and the duration of storage, the capacity and optimal dimensions of the cold storage are calculated. Accurate design prevents waste of space and energy.
The location of the cold store should be easy access to electricity, transportation, and preferably away from heat sources. The weather conditions of the region are also effective in the selection of refrigeration equipment.
The quality of the compressor, condenser, evaporator and insulation (sandwich panels) directly affects the energy consumption and efficiency of the cold store. Choosing reliable brands and technical standards is critical at this stage.
A detailed consultation makes the implementation cost estimate (including construction, equipment, installation and commissioning) transparent and helps you get the best economic return from your investment.
