Equipment selection for cold storage design and installation temperature and size are critical

The equipment selection of the cold storage design and installation is related to the actual operation of the cold storage after the completion of the cold storage. It is not only reflected in whether the cold storage refrigeration meets the requirements and is efficient, but also reflects whether the cold storage energy consumption is properly controlled and environmentally friendly. At present, Kuhua Refrigeration has provided cold chain companies such as fresh food e-commerce, distributors, wholesalers, restaurants, supermarkets, food factories, logistics companies and other cold chain enterprises with leading high-quality cold chain solutions. Kuhua Refrigeration suggestion: cold storage design and installation should consult a cold storage engineering company with complete professional qualifications and complete after-sales guarantee, especially for the design and installation of large cold storage.

　　 There are many influencing factors in the selection of equipment for cold storage design and installation, such as temperature, size, location, price, brand, service, etc., among which temperature and size are the key influencing factors. The above-mentioned influencing factors basically depend on the actual use needs of the units/individuals who want to build the cold storage, so on-demand customization is also an important feature of the cold storage project.

The size is determined according to the specific needs of using the cold storage, of course, it must be adjusted comprehensively according to the actual size of the available warehouse. For example, the size of a cold storage for storing agricultural products is determined according to the capacity of agricultural products to be stored throughout the year. Generally speaking, when calculating the size of the cold storage to be built, Kuhua refrigeration engineers will comprehensively consider the volume that must be occupied by the storage products in the cold storage, the aisles between rows, the space between the wall and the wall and the ceiling, the packaging room and the Pre-cooling room or other auxiliary building space such as tool warehouse loading and unloading platform, etc., so as to determine the size of the cold storage to be made (that is, the specific length, width and height). When the size of the cold storage is determined, the cooling capacity and other data can be calculated based on the temperature requirements of the cold storage, so as to better select the equipment.

The temperature of the cold storage depends on the temperature requirements of the products to be stored. For example, if the fresh-keeping temperature range of vegetables is often controlled at 0-15℃, the suitable temperature range for storage of frozen meat and aquatic products is usually -25℃~-18℃. The temperature needs to be controlled at 2-8℃, 18℃, -40℃ or even lower. Therefore, the lower the cold storage temperature, the higher the requirements for the selection of cold storage equipment, especially the medical cold storage that requires one refrigeration unit and meets the GSP/GMP certification specifications.

　　 Take the cold storage board of cold storage equipment selection as an example, the cold storage with the lower temperature of the cold storage requires a cold storage board with a thicker insulation material thickness, otherwise the temperature in the storage is susceptible to unstable fluctuations in the external environment, which affects the storage effect of the stored product. Kuhua Refrigeration suggestion: For fruits and vegetables, medium and high temperature cold storage usually uses 100mm thick polyurethane insulation material double-sided color steel plate, while the cold storage plate thickness of low temperature or freezing cold storage is generally 120mm or 150mm thick, and lower temperature can be thicker or Customized thickness of cold storage board. In addition, for the selection of refrigeration systems, the size, temperature and budget of the cold storage must be considered before the selection and confirmation. For example, Kuhua Refrigeration often uses barrel pump units that can save up to 30% in large cold storages and small cold storages. The installation of flexible and convenient box-type air-cooled units, etc.

　　The selection of equipment for cold storage design and installation is the first step for cold storage engineering companies. Only a high-quality and professional selection program can guarantee the operating conditions of the cold storage, with efficient and stable refrigeration and low energy consumption. Kuhua Refrigeration reminds units/individuals with cold storage construction needs that they must comprehensively weigh the cold storage design and installation plan, equipment configuration details and quotation provided by the cold storage engineering company.
