A cold room is a type of insulated, refrigerated space that is designed to maintain a set temperature. They’re used in professional kitchens to store food, as they can hold a lot of stock and can vary in size from a small walk in room to a larger warehouse. Sometimes they are called ‘walk-ins’
Cold rooms can’t be moved around, unlike other forms of commercial refrigeration. They need a specialist (like us) to install them.
Cold rooms largely work the same as any other refrigeration equipment. They use a compressor, condenser, fans and an evaporator so they can maintain temperature. A gas refrigerant gets compressed before expanding and absorbing energy, and passing over the evaporator coils. It liquifies under the high pressure, which cools the coils and the surrounding air.
Most cold rooms are between -2°C and 10°C. The specific temperature will depend on what’s being stored inside. If you need a colder solution, a cold room can be set up as a freezer, providing ultra cold storage between -50°C and -80°C.
Cold rooms are ideal for when consistent and powerful refrigeration and freezing is needed as they provide exact temperature control for your food supplies.
They have a lot of advantages over traditional fridges and freezers, especially if you have a large amount of stock.
