Want To Reduce The Risk of Heat Gain In Your Cold Rooms? Use These Cold Room Spares

MTCSS are experts when it comes to high quality cold room spares – whether that be supplying cold room doors, refrigerated cabinet spares, a new cold room door handle, or simply a range cold room ancillaries – we’ve got you covered. 

Working across a variety of industries over the last 17 years, our team has the experience to assure you we can supply a cold room spares solution to suit your needs.

One extremely important element of your cold rooms that must be considered is the temperature – specifically keeping it consistent. 

Your Cold Room and It’s Temperature

Keeping your cold room’s temperature consistent (unless specifically temperature-controlled) helps to ensure your products remain at the best quality possible – which is a key component of many businesses.

When your cold room starts to either increase or decrease in temperature, this is where complications begin. And some complications can mean the difference between having a business and having no stock!

So, how can you help to reduce the risk of heat gain within your cold rooms? With the help of cold room spares from MTCSS. 

Using Cold Room Spares To Reduce The Risk of Heat Gain

Cold room spares provide many benefits, but one of the main benefits they provide is that they can often help fix, or aid, broken cold room elements, without having to entirely replace your cold room solution. 

However, cold room spares are also beneficial in helping reduce the risk of heat gain in your cold rooms.

Which cold room spares should be used/replaced to help reduce the chance of an increase in temperature in your cold rooms? We’re glad you asked!

1. Cold room door gaskets 
2. Cold room door handles
3. Insulated curtains
4. Monoblock refrigeration units 

Cold Room Door Gaskets  
Your cold room door gaskets are an extremely important part of ensuring your cold room remains at a consistent temperature.

As your cold room gaskets act as a seal for your cold room door, it’s imperative to replace them as soon as you know something is wrong. For example, if they are damaged following the Christmas rush, (due to your cold room doors being open and closed more frequently) you should replace one as soon as possible.

When your cold room door gaskets are damaged, they allow the refrigerated air to escape and the warm air to enter – affecting the temperature range in your cold room, which could trigger a larger impact upon your products.

Not only is this increase in cold room temperature bad for your products, it could also cause health and safety issues (if your products are high risk, such as dairy or meats) as well as increase the stress placed on your refrigeration units – meaning that you could be saving energy in your cold rooms by investing in a cold room door gasket.

Cold Room Door Handles 
Cold room door handles (both internal and external) and frame catches (applicable for hinged cold room doors) should be checked for any damage to see whether they need replacing.

Both your cold room door handles and frame catches are important for keeping your cold room door closed and sealed correctly to prevent air leakage.

They are also very important for health and safety reasons (specifically for staff) to enter and exit your cold room safely. Failing to replace a broken cold room door handle could result in employees getting trapped in your cold room due to components blocking their exit, and broken door frame liners could seriously injure your team if not regularly replaced once broken.

Insulated Curtains
Insulated curtains enhance your ability to reduce the chance of temperature loss when your cold room door is in the open position. This is because they work to retain your temperature due to their excellent thermal insulation properties and thick material.

If your insulated curtain is ripped or damaged, it will begin to allow air to escape and enter your cold room. This means that your refrigeration units may have to work harder to maintain the temperature, and could even lead to your entire cold room’s contents needing to be replaced! 

Replacing small cold room spares could help you prevent an increase in cold room temperature, save you money in the long-run and improve the quality of your products as a result.

Monoblock Refrigeration Systems

When elements of your cold room sustain damage (such as the above cold room spares) or stop functioning optimally, this often takes a toll on the other features within your cold room – such as the refrigeration systems. 

Your refrigeration systems are one of the key components in your cold room, especially if you have products or industry requirements that rely on a specific temperature range being met.  

If they are broken/damaged, they will begin using excess energy (that isn’t required) just to meet your temperature requirements – which is both unsustainable for the environment and your bank account. 

Therefore, replacing your refrigeration systems would be extremely beneficial to help you prevent a loss of products and energy.
