High efficiency cold rooms at low cost helps in keeping the stock fresh

 The term cold room refers to a chamber that is used to chill or freeze foodstuffs like vegetables, fruits, meats and fishes. A cold room is also a room in which constant low temperature is maintained (as for refrigeration). The temperatures of the cold rooms range from between -70 degree centigrade to 10 degree centigrade. There are companies like ALBA & Ziebaq who manufacture cold rooms.



  • Specification of a Cold Room:

The specifications of Cold Room are as follows:

  1. Insulation: the insulation has to be CFC Free and it should be made of Rigid Injected Polyurethane /PIR
  2. Density: the density of the cold room has to be 42kg/m³.
  3. Thickness: the thickness of the cold rooms should be 80 mm (+0 temp rooms), 80mm (-0 temp rooms.
  4. Cladding: the cladding of the rooms should be 06 mm PVC, 0.5mm GI or 304 SS anti-bacterial.
  5. Fire Rating: the cold rooms have to meet the fire redundancy requirements based on FM approval 4880.
  6. Construction: the Panels are joined by two systems like Male-Female, Cam-Lock or using both.
  7. Flooring: there are two types of flooring in cold rooms. Panel flooring: 80 mm insulated panels with 1.5 mm Checkered Aluminum on top. Floorless: 50mm insulation foam with 100 mm concrete slab on the top or plywood.
  8. Refrigerant: the refrigerant that is used in cold rooms is called R404.
  9. Electrical Rating: the electrical rating of the cold room should be 380v/3ph.
  10. Lighting: the lighting of the cold rooms should be Heavy Duty, Water Proof, Low Energy & Florescent Lighting T5.
  11. Installation: there are two installation systems in cold rooms. Panels: the Pre-Cut panels are installed as per site dimensions & requirements of the clients. Condensing Units & Evaporators: the Pre-Wired condensing units and evaporators are installed or made to suit site conditions.
  • Advantages of Owning Chiller Cold Rooms

The following are the advantages of owning chiller cold rooms:

  1. Energy Saving: Condensed and decent locking Double/ Single cold room functions without any open or exposed cording along with temperature alarm, these features help save a lot of energy.
  2. Easy Availability: the various parts of the cold room like doors, panels, floors and shelves are easily available with the manufacturers.
  3. Flexibility in Sizes: the manufacturers can build cold rooms as per the requirements and needs of their clients in various sizes.
  4. Lesser in Cost: there is a misconception that cold rooms are expensive, but a large cold room costs less than buying multiple double door refrigerators.

To conclude we can say that cold rooms are very much required by us to keep our stock fresh for a longer period of time.

What are the 4 basic components of a cleanroom?

  A cleanroom is a controlled environment that is designed to maintain extremely low levels of particulates, such as dust, airborne microbes, and chemical vapors. It is used in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, electronics, biotechnology, and aerospace. The purpose of a cleanroom is to protect the products, processes, and people working in the cleanroom environment from contamination. There are four basic components of a cleanroom: 1.Cleanroom Environment 2.Cleanroom Equipment 3.Cleanroom Clothing 4.Cleanroom Procedures Let’s discuss each of these components in detail: 1.Cleanroom Environment: The cleanroom environment is the foundation of a cleanroom. It is designed to minimize the introduction, generation, and retention of particles in the environment. The air inside a cleanroom is filtered to remove particles that are larger than a certain size, typically 0.3 microns or smaller. The air is then circulated through the cleanroom at a controlled rate to ensure ...

What Is Cold Storage & How Does Cold Storage Work?

  Cold storage is a facility that primarily stores food items that are short-lived and highly likely to get spoilt under normal conditions. These may include fruits, vegetables, fish, meat etc. These food items are stored under optimum temperature(primarily low) and humid environment as required for individual items. Almost all cold storage rooms are designed such that these properties are pre-configured based on what is being stored. Some cold rooms are made such that these properties are adjustable. Construction and Working of a Cold Storage Plant A cold-storage facility works on a refrigeration system which helps maintain an adequate temperature and environment as per the specifications of each item being stored. These are the main components of a cold storage room: Compressor — It is the main component that runs the cold room. It is the only device that needs the energy to run. The compressor consumes almost all the power in a cold room. It is used ...
