Cold Room Refrigeration Systems

What kind of refrigeration unit is right for me?

A Monoblock refrigeration unit for cold rooms refrigeration systems are generally suitable for either chilled or negative temperature cold rooms, and are designed to work for spaces based on their capacity.

This means you will need to know:

• The size of the cold room in question
• The temperature range you’re looking for – this is normally determined by your stock type

Before you can purchase or enquire about the right refrigeration unit for your needs.

Units for freezer cold rooms

For walk-in and cold room freezers that can maintain negative frozen temperatures of between -15°C and -25°C, you will need a freezer-specific refrigeration system.

This is because negative-temperature cold rooms require a higher cooling capacity and thicker cold room panels, doors, and floors to ensure energy efficiency and optimal performance, without eye-watering operational costs.

Refrigeration units for chiller cold rooms

For walk-in chillers and cold room fridges suitable for maintaining positive temperatures of between +1°C and +8°C, you should choose a chiller unit.

Ideal for modular cold rooms and fresh food storage alike, chiller monoblocks offer the necessary cooling capacity for positive temperatures without running the risk of over-cooling and stock spoilage.

How are cold room refrigeration systems installed?

Depending on the type of refrigeration system you choose, installation can be either through the wall or via a straddle unit.

Most through-wall units are installed by cutting an opening in the cold room wall or panel and positioning the unit between the interior and exterior of the cold room.

A straddle unit refrigeration system, however, is mounted over the side of the refrigeration wall, extending on both sides – hence its name – before a roof is constructed over it.

Either way, no matter which cold room refrigeration system you choose, our team can offer which includes installing, sealing, and commissioning to check that it reaches optimal performance and the required cooling capacity before we leave.

Do cold room cooling systems offer good energy efficiency?

Whether you need a cold room chiller unit or something for freezer rooms, there is a necessary amount of energy consumption.

If you have an ageing cooling system, there is an increased risk of:

• Leaks and faults
• Reduced energy efficiency
• Components that still meet the relevant safety or industry standards, but can’t efficiently cool large quantities of stock

For this reason, we offer industry-leading monoblocks and cooling systems that offer:

• High energy efficiency
• Cost-effective returns
• The appropriate level of cooling capacity
• Low environmental impact- zero GWP R290 refrigerants

For more information about cooling modular cold rooms or freezer rooms for food storage, global trade, or even pharmaceuticals, feel free to contact our experienced team today.

We can recommend equipment for controlled environments that ensures compliance, meets regulations, and also offers cost-effective refrigeration without breaking the bank.

Order cold room refrigeration systems for your temperature-controlled space

Whether you are designing a new cold room space, modular cold rooms, or have old freezer rooms that need to be refurbished, an up-to-date refrigeration unit for cold rooms will ensure large quantities of goods stay at the right temperature consistently.

All while also limiting your energy usage – and therefore your energy bills!
