Technical Specifications & Advanced Parameters of Deep Freezer Cold Rooms

A modern deep freezer cold room is a complex engineering marvel, designed with precision to deliver optimal thermal performance and operational reliability. Key technical parameters include its insulation material, refrigeration system, control mechanisms, and structural integrity. Understanding these specifications is crucial for B2B decision-makers and engineers to ensure the solution meets stringent industry requirements.

Core Components and Their Parameters

  • Insulation Panels: Typically high-density polyurethane (PU) or polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam injected between two metal sheets (e.g., galvanized steel, stainless steel, or color steel). Thickness ranges from 100mm to 200mm for deep freezing applications, achieving thermal conductivity values as low as 0.023 W/(m·K).
  • Refrigeration System: Comprises compressors (scroll, semi-hermetic, or screw types), condensers (air-cooled or water-cooled), evaporators (unit coolers), and expansion valves. Refrigerants like R404A, R507A, or increasingly, natural refrigerants like CO2 (R744) are used, selected for their GWP (Global Warming Potential) and ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential).
  • Control System: Advanced PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) or microcomputer controllers offer precise temperature regulation (±0.5°C accuracy), humidity control, alarm functions, and remote monitoring capabilities. Data logging and historical performance analysis are standard for compliance and optimization.
  • Doors: Heavy-duty, insulated, often with heated frames to prevent ice build-up, and equipped with safety release mechanisms. Sliding or swing options available, tailored to traffic flow and space.
  • Flooring: Reinforced concrete with vapor barriers and under-floor heating to prevent frost heave, finished with non-slip, wear-resistant coatings suitable for heavy traffic and cold conditions.

Detailed Manufacturing Process Flow of a Deep Freezer Cold Room

The creation of a high-quality room deep freezer involves a meticulously controlled, multi-stage manufacturing process, emphasizing precision engineering, material quality, and adherence to international standards. Our process ensures durability, efficiency, and a long service life for every installation.

Process Stages:

1. Design & Engineering

Initial design phase based on client specifications, considering volume, temperature requirements, site constraints, and industry-specific regulations. Utilizes CAD/CAM software for precise panel layouts, refrigeration pipe routing, and structural analysis. Compliance with EN 13313 and ASHRAE standards is integrated from the outset.

2. Material Sourcing & Preparation

Selection of premium materials: food-grade stainless steel or pre-painted galvanized iron (PPGI) for panel skins, high-density closed-cell polyurethane (PU) or PIR foam for insulation. Refrigeration components are sourced from internationally recognized brands (e.g., Bitzer, Copeland, Danfoss). All materials undergo stringent quality checks to meet ISO standards.

3. Panel Manufacturing (Casting/Foaming)

Metal sheets are precisely cut using CNC machinery. The core insulation material (PU/PIR) is injected under high pressure between the two metal skins in a continuous foaming line, creating sandwich panels. This 'casting' process ensures uniform density and excellent adhesion, critical for the thermal performance of a freezer storage room. Panel interlocking systems are integrated during this stage.

4. Refrigeration System Assembly

Compressor racks, condensers, evaporators, and control panels are assembled and integrated. This involves precise brazing for refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and the installation of sensors and safety devices. All connections are leak-tested under high pressure using nitrogen, adhering to ANSI/IIAR 2-2021 standards.

5. Electrical & Control Integration

Wiring of all electrical components, including lighting, heaters, and the main control unit. PLC programming is customized to the cold room's specific operational profile, including temperature setpoints, defrost cycles, and alarm protocols. All electrical work complies with IEC standards.

6. Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

Prior to shipment, the entire system (or key components) undergoes rigorous FAT. This includes pressure testing, functional checks of all controls, temperature pull-down tests, and safety interlock verification. Test reports are documented and provided to the client, ensuring performance against agreed specifications.

Our manufacturing approach emphasizes not just robust construction but also long-term operational excellence. The typical service life of our cold rooms exceeds 20 years with proper maintenance, significantly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). This meticulous process ensures superior energy saving and exceptional corrosion resistance, crucial for industries like petrochemical, metallurgy, and water supply & drainage, where equipment endures harsh environmental conditions. The quality assurance protocols, aligned with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, guarantee a product that performs reliably under extreme conditions.
