Standards for Build Cold Rooms for Agricultural Products
Cold rooms are not only an indispensable part of commercial activities but also essential for storing agricultural products. Similar to refrigerators, cold rooms inhibit bacterial activity in stored items, thereby extending their shelf life. While refrigerators are commonly seen in daily life, cold rooms, although frequently mentioned, may not be well understood in terms of their appearance and function. Below, we will address these questions in detail.
In essence, a cold room is a facility designed to maintain a constant temperature by combining refrigeration equipment, electronic control devices, and well-insulated panels. It achieves the desired refrigeration effect. Depending on the storage capacity, cold rooms are categorized into large, medium, and small sizes. Rural areas often opt for small cold rooms capable of storing 10-20 tons of produce.
The primary purpose of constructing cold rooms for agricultural products is to extend their storage period and ensure quality. Most agricultural products are best stored at temperatures around 0°C. For fruits and vegetables, constructing a high-temperature preservation room with a minimum temperature of -2°C (commonly known as a high-temperature cold room) not only extends the shelf life but also maintains quality. For seafood or meat, it is advisable to build a low-temperature cold room with a maximum temperature of -18°C, as these items are better preserved through freezing.
Compared to large cold rooms, small cold rooms require less investment, are easier to operate, and offer more manageable temperature control. Food items can quickly reach the desired temperature during loading and unloading, making them convenient for short-term storage needs. Despite using similar equipment to large cold rooms during construction, small cold rooms do not significantly increase labor costs, enabling automation and energy efficiency.
These are the key considerations for constructing cold rooms for agricultural products. If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to contact us anytime. Thank you for your patience and attention!
