Construction of a modern white cold storage room, a leader in the refrigeration industry
Build a cold room with long lifespan and minimum electricity consumption with Sefidserma. Custom design based on your needs. The quality of European parts and fast installation on site
Cold room construction and industrial cold room design (complete guide 1405)
Construction of cold storage is one of the most important investments in food, agriculture, pharmaceutical and protein industries. A basic cold storage design can prevent product wastage, reduce energy consumption and increase business profitability. In this article, we will examine the design and construction stages of cold storage, its types, required equipment and costs.
The importance of cold storage design before construction
Before the implementation of the project, the cold storage design plays a key role in its final performance. In the basic design, the following should be checked:
- Type of product (fruit, meat, dairy, medicine, etc.)
- Required capacity (in tons)
- Required temperature range
- the amount of air circulation
- Climatic conditions of the region
- Energy consumption and optimization
Engineering design makes the cold store have the highest efficiency with the lowest operating cost.
Types of cold storage in terms of temperature
1️⃣ mortuary above zero
Working temperature between 0 and +15 degrees Celsius
Usage: storage of fruits, vegetables, dairy products and some medicines
2️⃣ sub-zero cold storage
Working temperature between 0 and -40 degrees Celsius
Use: preserving meat, chicken, fish and protein materials
3️⃣ freezing tunnel
It is used for quick freezing of products in a short time and prevents quality loss.
Stages of cold storage
✅ Step 1: Needs assessment and preliminary calculations
Estimating the capacity and calculating the cooling load according to the formula:
Where:
- cooling load
-product mass
special heat
- \( \Delta T \) temperature difference
✅ Step 2: Selection of equipment
The most important equipment includes:
- Compressor
- Condenser
- Evaporator
- industrial switchboard
- temperature control system
✅ Step 3: Implementation of the structure and insulation
Using polyurethane sandwich panel is very necessary to prevent energy loss.
✅ Step 4: Installation of refrigeration system and start-up
At this stage, the equipment is installed and performance tested.
The main equipment in cold storage design
| Compressor Refrigerant gas compression |
| Condenser Refrigerant gas cooling |
Evaporator | Absorption of heat inside the cold room |
What factors does the cost of building a cold storage system depend on the electrical control panel and safety system?
- Capacity (for example, 50 tons, 100 tons, etc.)
- user type
- equipment brand
- type of insulation
- Geographical location
In general, the higher the capacity and quality of the equipment, the higher the initial cost, but the lower the energy consumption in the long run.
Advantages of building a standard cold room
✔ Reduce product waste
✔ Extending the life of food
✔ Energy saving
✔ Faster return on investment
✔ Ability to export products
Important points in the design of industrial cold storage
- Use of intelligent temperature control system
- Prediction of emergency power system
- Designing standard commuting routes
- Compliance with health and safety standards
Summary
Construction of cold storage is a highly specialized project that requires detailed engineering design. The selection of high-quality equipment, suitable insulation and standard implementation play a decisive role in the final performance.
