TOP CONSIDERATIONS FOR OPERATING COLD STORAGE SERVICES
A little search and planning can prove beneficial to you if you are want to save energy costs as well as helps in reducing the potential for product loss. If you are looking to install Cold Storage facilities in your operations, there are 5 key considerations you need to explore.
1. Types of Refrigeration
a. Vapor Inhalation Systems
For a warehouse or storage facility with the introduction of waste heat, the absorption system is more beneficial because the waste heat can be used as energy to power the refrigeration unit.

b. Vapor Compression Systems
The use of vapor compression systems depends extensively on the energy references available and their relevant costs. For any other means than a Cold Storage facility, the capability of the reduction mode is almost always favorable. Ammonia and Freon Compressors are most ordinarily used in cold storage elevators because they are cheap, easily available and have high potential heat evaporation. However, they are also highly toxic and can contaminate produce if there are any leaks.
2. Temperatures
Temperature is highly based on the time expected and the type of the product to be stored for a particular period. Most of the products are divided into various categories like:
Fresh fruits and vegetables Meat and sea foods Beer and Tobacco that benefit from the storage

3. Insulation
For every 10° increase in temperature, the rate of chemical reactions occurring in a product doubles. The solution to the ageing method and disease in food is well insulated cold storage. A lack of lining can create easy ways for heat to enter, costing money both for additional cooling and in the decreased life of the products. The primary source of heat entry into a cool storage area is the gateway. Every time it is exposed there is an instant portal for heat entry. Thus, it is vital to have portals open for the minimum possible time.
4. Location
Location plays a significant role in the cold storage services. First of all it needs to be aligned with a well between the production areas and the marketplaces so that we can reduce the transit time. It should also have easy access for heavy transport vehicles and where you can easily get the power supply.
5. Australian Cold Storage requirements
Cold Storage companies should follow the minimum requirements as well as environmental conditions of the Australia.
Hopefully, these basic things about cold storage and fascinating tips will help you in the maintenance and creation of any of your cold storage facilities.
