What is a cold room?

A cold room is used to store perishable goods such as meat and vegetables to slow down
their deterioration and preserve them as fresh as possible for as long as possible. Heat
accelerates their deterioration so the products are cooled down by removing the heat.

To remove the heat we use a refrigeration system as this allows accurate and automatic
control of the temperature to preserve the goods for as long as possible.
Ice cream storage cold room, 100~200 PU/PIR panel with good insulation, high
efficiency condensing unit, power consumption saving cost.
1. Temperature range: -23℃~ -28℃.
2. Application field: Supermarkets, Retail stores, KFC, McDonald’s, etc.
3. The thickness of PU panels we suggest: 150, 180, 200mm.
4. Notes on installation of ice cream cold storage:
(1) Be installed before summer comes.
(2) Design suitable cold room, not only to ensure the storage of ice cream in storage
room, but also to ensure the low temperature protection in the production workshop and
transportation.
(3) Choose the appropriate location. As refrigeration compressor unit operation sound
is larger, in general circumstances should be far away from residential areas. (CRYO’s
refrigeration units are designed with low noise.)
(4) Carry out the ice cream cold storage health management, ensure that ice cream
cold storage before purchase, in stock and after delivery, there are health protection.
5. Surface materials of PU panels we suggest:
(1) Stainless steel: Best for anti-rust/corrosion.
(2) Color plate: Most popular& cost-effective. (Good choice for storage of ice cream.)

(3) Salinization sheet: Anti-rust/ corrosion/ scratch, feel like leather and plastic, nice.
(4) Aluminum: Nice and soft. (We use 0.7/0.8 mm, higher standard, hard enough.)
(5) Galvanized sheet: Heavy& hard.
6. Price:
MAIN GOAL
Food industry for manufacturing of ice cream comprises of many stages, but
FREEZING is most important step in case of ice cream manufacturing

Schematic diagram of the cold room, indicating the component parts and the direction of
refrigerant flow in them. At Point A: The liquid refrigerant (R134a) enters the evaporator
with very low pressure and temperature. At Point B: Vaporization of the refrigerant takes
place. Here, the low pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant leaves the evaporator
and enters into the compressor. At Point C: Superheated low temperature and pressure
vapour refrigerant is sucked into the compressor. At point D: Compressed vapour leaves
the compressor and enters the condenser at high pressure and temperature. At point E:
Sub cooled liquid refrigerant leaves the condenser and enters the liquid receiver. At
Point F and G: The liquid refrigerant leaves the receiver and enters the thermostatic
expansion value.
