Walk In Cold Room

The right walk in cold room depends on the product, required temperature, storage quantity, packaging, stacking, aisles, daily movement, available space, and operating process. Chilled products may require conditions around 0°C to 8°C, while frozen products commonly require near minus 18°C or lower. Uniref reviews the application first and then determines the room dimensions, insulation, refrigeration system, doors, controls, and monitoring requirements.

The required temperature depends on the stored product. Many fruits and vegetables are commonly held around 0°C to 4°C, dairy is often around 2°C to 4°C, and medicines and vaccines are commonly designed around 2°C to 8°C. Frozen food is commonly stored near minus 18°C or lower. These are typical ranges only, and the final operating temperature should always be confirmed from the product specification.

Capacity is established from the product, packaging, stacking method, required aisles, available room dimensions, storage quantity, and daily product movement. Refrigeration capacity is calculated separately from the room storage capacity and considers product temperature when entering, ambient conditions, door openings, lighting, equipment, infiltration, insulation, and other heat sources. A project quotation therefore requires application details rather than only a room length and width.

A walk in cold room is a room large enough for people and equipment to enter for loading, unloading, and product handling. It can be designed for chilled or frozen conditions. A freezer room is specifically configured for low temperature storage, commonly near minus 18°C or lower for frozen products. The insulation, refrigeration equipment, evaporator selection, defrost system, doors, and controls are selected according to the required operating temperature.

Yes. Uniref can coordinate the project from requirement analysis and site assessment through heat load calculation, cold room design, equipment selection, manufacturing and supply, installation, testing, commissioning, training, handover, and after sales support. The exact scope is project specific. Refrigeration equipment and room construction are selected according to the product, required temperature, storage capacity, site utilities, ambient conditions, and operating process.

Yes. Walk in cold rooms can be customized according to product type, temperature, humidity, storage capacity, room dimensions, packaging, stacking, aisles, door traffic, refrigeration load, monitoring, and site conditions. Internal layouts can also be considered according to the storage method and product movement. Uniref develops the room and refrigeration arrangement from the actual project requirements rather than applying one standard configuration to every application.

Project cost depends on room dimensions, insulation, doors, flooring, refrigeration capacity, equipment selection, temperature requirement, controls, monitoring, electrical requirements, site conditions, installation scope, and storage arrangement. Capacity is confirmed from the product, packaging, stacking, aisles, and daily movement. There is no standard catalogue price because each quotation is project specific and depends on the engineering scope and selected equipment.

Yes. Uniref can provide installation, testing, commissioning, training, and handover as part of the project scope. After installation, support can include preventive maintenance, AMC, breakdown support, spare parts, system inspection, refrigeration repairs, performance optimization, and selected upgrades or retrofits. The applicable service scope depends on the installed equipment, cold room configuration, facility requirements, and maintenance needs.

Yes. Multi temperature arrangements can provide separate controlled areas for products that require different operating temperatures within the same facility. Each area can be designed according to its product, temperature, refrigeration load, airflow, insulation, doors, and monitoring requirements. The overall layout is also considered around product movement, loading, unloading, available space, and the refrigeration plant serving the different temperature zones.

The suitable refrigeration system depends on the calculated heat load, required temperature, room size, ambient conditions, operating pattern, and available site utilities. Freon based or ammonia based refrigeration can be considered where appropriate. Air cooled and water cooled arrangements are also evaluated according to the project conditions. The refrigeration plant should be selected after engineering assessment rather than assuming one system is suitable for every large cold room.
