Industrial cold storage refers to cold storages that are designed and built to preserve and store temperature-sensitive goods and products on a large scale and capacity. An industrial cold room is a controlled environment where temperature and humidity are precisely controlled to ensure optimal conditions and longevity of perishable items. Unlike normal cold stores that may have smaller volumes or meet the needs of certain industries, industrial cold stores are usually built to store and store significant amounts (more than 2000 tons) of goods.
The importance of industrial cold storage in various industries
Food Industry
The food industry relies heavily on industrial cold storage to maintain the freshness, safety and quality of perishable food products. Industrial cold storage facilities provide the possibility of maintaining and storing a wide range of food items including fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat and seafood at specific temperatures and humidity levels. These facilities help to prevent spoilage, reduce food waste and increase the shelf life of products by maintaining the cold storage chain.
Pharmaceutical industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining the quality and safety of drugs and vaccines is of great importance. Industrial cold storage facilities provide controlled environments where pharmaceutical products can be stored at precise temperatures and ensure their effectiveness and stability. Many medicines, such as vaccines and special medicines, require a certain temperature range for storage, and any deviation can make them ineffective or even harmful. Industrial refrigerators provide the necessary conditions to store these temperature-sensitive medicines and preserve their therapeutic properties. They also play an important role in drug distribution and enable safe transportation and storage throughout the supply chain.
Chemical industries
Chemical industries often deal with substances that need to be kept at a controlled temperature. Industrial cold storage facilities provide suitable conditions for the storage of various chemical products such as specialized chemicals, raw materials and intermediates. By maintaining the temperature conditions, the industrial cold room prevents chemical reactions, destruction and loss of the nature of the materials. This environment with controlled maintenance and storage ensures the stability and quality of the chemicals and helps the overall efficiency of the chemical production processes. In addition, industrial cold storage also provides safety benefits by reducing the risk of fire, explosion, or dangerous reactions associated with improper storage of certain chemicals.
Double circuit industrial cold storage
Double-circuit cold storage is a type of refrigeration system that includes two refrigeration circuits, even though these two circuits are completely independent and separate or connected to each other. Each circuit contains its own set of compressors, condensers, evaporators and controllers. The purpose of a double-circuit cold storage is to improve operational efficiency and flexibility in keeping all kinds of products. These two circuits can work simultaneously or alternately depending on the refrigeration needs and system needs.
In case of maintenance or repairs in one circuit, the other circuit can continue to work as a reserve or standby (provided that the circuits are independent). In addition, the design of the industrial cold room in the form of two circuits allows better control of the temperature range in the cold room. Each circuit can be assigned to specific temperature ranges or cold storage halls, which allows precise temperature management and optimization of energy consumption. This flexibility is especially useful in large cold stores with different temperature conditions for different products.
Industrial cold storage above zero
Cold storage above zero is generally used to store fresh fruit, dried fruit, vegetables, summer fruits and oilseeds and dried fruit at a temperature between 0 and 5 degrees Celsius. These cold stores are usually built in areas that are a short distance from orchards or a specific product that needs to be stored in a cold store above zero. In some cases, gardeners or product owners build cold storage in the form of a cooperative company.
Industrial cold storage below zero
A subzero industrial cold room is a product storage facility that is designed and built to maintain subzero temperatures, usually -18 degrees Celsius. This type of cold storage is very necessary and efficient for businesses that need to preserve and maintain products that require deep freezing conditions (Deep Freeze).
Industrial cold storage is actually a refrigeration facility that provides a controlled environment to ensure the quality, safety and long-term shelf life of items such as meat, chicken, fish, ice cream, etc. Subzero cold stores are equipped with refrigeration systems suitable for the operating temperature. Also, usually better and thicker insulation should be used for subzero industrial cold storage. These facilities must be carefully designed to prevent temperature fluctuations, minimize humidity and maintain product quality.
Technical specifications of industrial cold storage
Temperature control and stability of conditions
One of the primary technical features of industrial cold storage is accurate temperature control and stability of conditions. This facility is equipped with advanced refrigeration systems and temperature control mechanisms to maintain a constant and optimal temperature range for stored products.
Humidity control
In addition to temperature control, industrial cold stores may also use humidity control systems. Depending on the needs of the stored products, humidity levels can be adjusted to avoid high or low humidity. Moisture control helps preserve product texture, prevent microbial growth, and minimize the risk of product spoilage.
Insulation efficiency
Efficient insulation is a key technical feature in industrial cold storage. High-quality insulation materials and proper installation techniques minimize heat transfer and ensure that the cold room maintains its optimal temperature continuously.
Management of air circulation and air exchange inside industrial cold storages
Industrial cold storages have optimal circulation and air circulation systems to ensure uniform distribution of temperature and humidity throughout the cold storage. In addition to proper air circulation, in the storage of some products such as fruits that breathe, the air inside the cold room needs to be evacuated and changed by exhaust fans. This prevents the accumulation of gases such as ethylene that are released by fruits. The required number of air changes per day is mentioned in the storage standards of each product in the cold storage.
Monitoring and Control Systems
Modern industrial cold rooms are equipped with advanced monitoring and control systems to provide online information about temperature, humidity and other critical parameters. These systems provide the possibility of remote monitoring, data logging and warning in case of deviation from the specified limits. By continuously monitoring and adjusting conditions, facility managers can quickly address any issues, maintain product quality, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is a significant point in industrial refrigerators. These facilities are designed to optimize energy consumption through the use of efficient refrigeration, insulation and lighting systems. Various energy-saving technologies, such as LED lighting, variable frequency drives for compressors, and heat recovery systems, can be implemented to minimize energy waste and reduce operating costs.
