Cold Storage

A cold store is an insulated room held at a set temperature by a refrigeration unit. The failures we see most often are not mechanical — they come from capacity chosen without calculation: a machine too small to reach temperature when the store is full, or so oversized that it short-cycles and wastes electricity.

That is why every job starts with a site survey. We record room volume, the type and entry temperature of the commodity, daily throughput, door-opening frequency, and nearby heat sources. The resulting load figure determines compressor capacity, panel thickness, evaporator count, and how air moves through the room.

What we deliver

• Cooling load calculation based on volume, commodity, and operating pattern.
• Panel fabrication and installation including framing, flooring, and cold room doors.
• Refrigerant pipework, condenser and evaporator mounting.
• Electrical and control work including panels, sensors, and defrost settings.
• Temperature pull-down testing and document handover before the room goes into use.
