Poor panel sealing
Open or poorly sealed joints can reduce enclosure performance.
Panels are aligned correctly and joints are sealed continuously at the required points.
The room can gain unwanted air and moisture during operation.
Incorrect door alignment
A poorly aligned door may not close or seal correctly.
The door is positioned, adjusted, and checked for proper closing and sealing.
Heat transfer and surface condensation can affect refrigeration system operation.

Walk In Cold Room
Typical equipment
Insulated panels, cold room door, evaporator, condensing unit, controls, sensors, and drainage.
Special attention
Room access, door position, evaporator placement, and internal airflow need careful planning.
Equipment and service routes should remain accessible after installation.
The installation period depends on room size, configuration, building conditions, refrigeration equipment, access, electrical work, and project stage. A straightforward room and a complex industrial system can require different amounts of work. Uniref reviews the site and installation requirements before confirming the expected project schedule.
Site preparation normally includes checking room dimensions, floor condition, drainage, power availability, equipment access, ventilation, outdoor equipment location, door clearance, piping routes, and service access. The exact preparation depends on the building and application. Any required floor insulation is considered according to the intended temperature and building conditions.
Yes. Uniref can coordinate the insulated enclosure and refrigeration installation as part of the same project. This can include panel installation, cold room doors, evaporators, condensing units, refrigeration piping, electrical connections, controls, sensors, testing, commissioning, and handover according to the project requirement.
Yes. Cold rooms can be installed within suitable existing buildings. The installation plan considers the available floor area, structural conditions, access, drainage, electrical supply, equipment location, piping routes, door clearance, and service access. Existing building limitations are reviewed before the installation sequence is finalised.
Testing can include refrigeration pressure testing, leak testing, vacuuming, electrical checks, control checks, sensor verification, drainage checks, and equipment inspection. The exact checks depend on the installed system. Once the required installation checks are completed, the system can proceed through startup and commissioning.
In some cases, an existing cold room can be relocated or expanded, depending on its construction, condition, refrigeration system, available space, and equipment compatibility. The existing panels, doors, refrigeration equipment, piping, electrical system, and controls need to be assessed before deciding the practical installation approach.
Yes. Uniref coordinates engineering from Jaipur and works on commercial and industrial cold room projects across India. Project planning considers the location, site access, building conditions, equipment requirements, installation stage, and available services. The installation scope can be planned according to the specific requirements of each project.
Installation cost depends on several project factors, including room dimensions, temperature requirement, panel specification, door type, refrigeration equipment, piping, electrical work, controls, drainage, site preparation, access, and installation complexity. Existing building conditions can also affect the scope. A project specific requirement review is needed before pricing can be confirmed.
No. Floor insulation is not required for every cold room. Its use depends on the intended room temperature, building construction, floor condition, and application. For lower temperature applications or suitable building conditions, additional floor insulation may be required. The requirement should be assessed as part of the installation planning process.
Yes. Uniref can provide post installation support through preventive maintenance, annual maintenance arrangements, breakdown assistance, and system review. Maintenance requirements depend on the refrigeration equipment and application. Regular inspection can help identify issues with refrigeration components, electrical connections, controls, drainage, insulation, and other installed equipment.
