FAQ

A cool store, also known as a cold store, is a large refrigerated room or structure constructed for storing goods in a climate that is cooler than the outside temperature. Products needing refrigeration include fruit, vegetables, seafood, and meat. Cold stores are frequently found near shipping ports used for agricultural import/export.

Some products that may necessitate cold storage or a temperature-controlled warehousing solution include:

• Nutrients that are perishable.
• Food that spoils quickly (vegetables, fruits, meat and seafood, dairy products)
• Plants and flowers
• Biopharmaceutical items.
• Work of art.

You can create a cold room at any place. For that, first, find a licensed contractor who specializes in cold room storage and has experience building cold rooms.

We may determine the cooling capacity using the energy equation Q = x Cp x T. To convert to Kelvin units, we add 273.15K to the celsius. Specific heat capacity (Cp) is expressed in kJ per kilogram per Kelvin.

The primary goal in building cold storage warehouses is to minimize empty space. As a result, while locating communal areas, offices, and cold rooms, it should be assured that space is used as efficiently as possible. A strategy for avoiding heavy traffic should be developed while developing corridors.

By enclosing and insulating a corner section in your basement, you can create a cold room. The concrete walls will offer to cool, while insulation will keep cool air from other basement rooms from entering. Find a licensed contractor who specializes in basement finishing and has experience building cold rooms.

Spraying foam insulation into the wall cavities is the simplest technique to re-insulate your walls. Spray foam insulation expands to fill small gaps and tight places. Spray foam insulation can be installed into each wall cavity through small holes in the wall.

• Leave the cold room as-is (bare concrete) and replace the existing cold room door with an outside (insulated) steel door. Make sure the vent is clear to enable some air passage. Perhaps clean up the flaking walls, but don’t put in any insulation, studs, or anything else that could react to moisture in the room.
• Insulate the cold room’s interior (external wall and ceiling) and add a door that permits some airflow into that space (use as a closet).
• Insulate the inside walls of the cold room (from the basement), install an exterior grade door, and leave it as is.

Keeping the floor and surfaces clean and clear at all times is part of a good cold room cleaning strategy. For any dust accumulation on the floor, use a vacuum cleaner, and clean surfaces with a cloth, warm water, mild detergent, or specialized cold room cleaning products. Make certain that any spills are cleaned up immediately and that any spoiled products are discarded. This will aid in the prevention of bacterial development.
After cleaning, double-check that the cold room is dry. Aside from making the floor slippery, extra water might be a safety problem by developing an ice buildup in your cold room.

Cold rooms, like any other refrigeration system, use an evaporator inside the unit and a condenser outside the unit to transport heat outside and so cool the inside.

The cooling capacity can be calculated using the energy equation Q = x Cp x T. To convert to Kelvin units, add 273.15K to the celsius. Specific heat capacity (Cp) is measured in kJ per kilogram per Kelvin.

Cold storage is a simple cold room that is widely used to store materials ranging in temperature from 2° to 8° C.
