How to Remove Odors from a Newly Installed Cold Room

 

When a new cold room or cool room is constructed, it’s common to encounter unpleasant odors. These odors can originate from various sources, such as the use of welding during the installation process, which often leaves behind a distinctive smell. Even though the cold room panels are made of eco-friendly polyurethane foam, the cutting process can produce some odor. Additionally, repeated ammonia tests during installation can introduce ammonia smells. The combination of these odors can be quite unpleasant, making it essential to address them before using the cold room for storage. Below are some effective methods to remove these odors.

 

Pre-Use Odor Removal

 

It’s crucial to eliminate odors from the cold room before storing any food items, as lingering smells can negatively affect the quality of the stored goods. One effective method is to use alcohol lamps, commonly found in laboratories. Depending on the size of the cold room, place several alcohol lamps around the space. Fill the containers on top of the lamps with a small amount of edible vinegar (or lactic acid as an alternative), and light the lamps. This process not only helps to remove odors but also thoroughly disinfects the cold room, ensuring it’s safe for food storage.

 

Odor Removal During Use

 

If odors develop while the cold room is in use, they are likely due to the spoilage or decay of stored food items. These odors should be addressed promptly to prevent them from affecting other stored goods, potentially leading to cross-contamination and deteriorating the taste and quality of the food. In such cases, using ozone for odor removal is highly effective. Ozone not only eliminates odors but also disinfects the cold room, providing a dual benefit.

 

Ozone treatment is suitable for both occupied and empty cold rooms. The effectiveness of ozone in odor removal and disinfection largely depends on its concentration—the higher the concentration, the faster the chemical reactions and oxidation processes occur. However, it’s important to note that ozone is a strong oxidizing agent and can be harmful to humans. Therefore, it’s recommended to vacate the cold room during ozone treatment and wait approximately two hours after the process is complete before re-entering.
