How the room is planned
Chiller Rooms Designed Around Your Operation
A chiller room needs to maintain the required temperature while accommodating product movement, door openings, storage arrangements, airflow, humidity, and refrigeration demand. Room dimensions, insulation, doors, evaporators, compressors, controls, and monitoring are considered together during the design.
Uniref develops customized cold storage solutions around the product and operating process. Chiller room capacity is confirmed from the product, packaging, stacking, aisles, daily movement, incoming product temperature, and available space rather than from a standard room size.
Customized Design
Room dimensions, insulation, doors, refrigeration equipment, flooring, and internal layout are planned according to the application.
Temperature Control
Temperature control is configured around the specified chilled storage range and selected refrigeration system.
Humidity Management
Humidity requirements are considered where moisture conditions affect the stored product, freshness, quality, or storage period.
Storage Optimization
Room dimensions, product placement, aisles, pallet arrangement, and loading patterns are considered to use available storage space effectively.
Refrigeration Efficiency
Compressors, evaporators, condensing units, airflow, controls, and defrost are selected according to the calculated refrigeration load.
Automation and Monitoring
Temperature monitoring, humidity monitoring, alarms, data logging, equipment status, and selected remote monitoring functions can be incorporated according to the project requirement.

Temperature ranges
Chiller Rooms for Different Temperature Requirements
Chilled Storage Based on the Product. The required chiller room temperature depends on the product, incoming condition, packaging, storage duration, humidity, room size, daily movement, and operating process. The refrigeration system, insulation, airflow, doors, controls, and monitoring are selected from these requirements.
+2°C to +8°C
Pharma, Dairy, and Fresh Products
Medicines and vaccines are commonly designed around 2°C to 8°C, while dairy and selected fresh products can require similar chilled conditions. The exact operating range should be confirmed from the product specification.
Actual temperature and humidity requirements depend on the stored product and operational conditions.
Industries
Chiller Rooms for Different Industries
Chilled storage requirements vary between products, so the chiller room is designed around the product condition, required temperature, storage quantity, humidity, handling process, and facility operation.
Fresh and chilled
Food and Beverage
Chiller rooms provide controlled storage for fresh and chilled food products according to their specified temperature and humidity requirements.
Commodity specific
Fruits and Vegetables
Fresh produce can require controlled temperature and humidity conditions, with the chiller room designed around the specific commodity and storage process.

One installation
Engineered as a Complete Chiller Room System
The Room, Refrigeration, and Controls Work Together. A chiller room requires more than an insulated enclosure. Panels, doors, flooring, evaporators, refrigeration equipment, electrical controls, sensors, monitoring, airflow, and defrost are planned together according to the product, temperature, heat load, room dimensions, and operating conditions.
Inside the Room
Insulated PUF / PIR Panels
The plant
Refrigeration Systems Built for Chiller Room Performance
Refrigeration Designed Around the Actual Chilling Load. The refrigeration plant is chosen after the heat load, required temperature, product condition, room dimensions, ambient conditions, door openings, and site utilities are assessed. The system is selected for the actual operating conditions rather than simply the physical size of the room.

Project sequence
From Concept to Commissioning
A Structured Approach to Chiller Room Projects. Turnkey chiller room projects require coordination between the insulated enclosure, refrigeration plant, electrical controls, monitoring system, flooring, doors, site utilities, and operating requirements. Uniref can coordinate the project from requirement analysis through installation, testing, commissioning, training, and handover.

Requirement Analysis
Design inputs
Every Chiller Room Project Starts With the Right Engineering
The Product, Room, and Site Shape the Design. A chiller room should be designed around the product, required temperature, incoming product condition, storage quantity, room dimensions, humidity requirements, refrigeration load, and operating process. Uniref reviews these factors along with site conditions and available utilities before finalizing the chiller room system.
The Product
What will be stored?
The product determines the required chilled temperature, humidity, airflow, refrigeration load, insulation requirements, and storage arrangement.
Capacity in MT, pallets, or volume
The required quantity helps establish room dimensions, pallet arrangement, stacking height, aisles, refrigeration demand, and available operating space.
Temperature when goods enter
Incoming product temperature affects refrigeration demand and helps determine the required pull down and holding conditions.
Quantity entering per day
Daily product movement affects refrigeration load, door openings, loading frequency, and chiller room utilization.
The Room
Operating range
The specified temperature range provides the basis for refrigeration equipment, insulation, evaporator selection, controls, and monitoring.
Required relative humidity
Humidity requirements are reviewed according to the stored product, packaging, airflow, moisture loss, and intended storage conditions.
Available space
Available floor area, ceiling height, access, equipment locations, and surrounding infrastructure influence the room dimensions and layout.
Door openings and traffic
Door opening frequency and traffic affect heat infiltration and influence door selection, airflow, refrigeration load, and operating conditions.
The Site
Local Indian climate
Ambient conditions at the project location affect heat load calculations and refrigeration equipment selection.
Power availability
Available electrical supply and site utilities are reviewed before refrigeration equipment and electrical controls are finalized.
Backup, if applicable
Where backup power or other continuity provisions are required, these can be considered according to the facility requirements.
The project is developed by an experienced cold storage engineering company with engineering coordination from Jaipur.
