Warehouse Coldstore Conversions Including Temporary Structures

Another popular service we supply is temporary refrigeration systems for chilled storage. Existing warehouses can be converted or partitioned to provide additional cold storage space for peaks in volumes or summer temperatures.

Additionally, temporary buildings can be supplied for a rapid, flexible chilled storage solution. Located inside or out, they are suitable for all crops, perishable’s or finished products.

FAQ'S

Warehouse cooling hire is a service that supplies non permanent equipment that can be installed to cool down warehouses that are experiencing high temperatures.

Typically, problems can occur in the summer months when ambient temperatures are high and heat progressively builds up internally. In this situation systems are required to remove this excessive heat whiuch generally involve fitting refrigeration systems that include external chillers and internally mounted air handling systems.

In simplistic terms you are moving the heat from the inside area to the outside.

Here we briefly explain how temporary warehouse cooling works.

In simple layman’s terms, warehouse cooling is the movement of heat from the inside (of the warehouse) to the outside where it is discharged.

To do this you typically need two machines;

  1. On the outside you need a cooler to discharge the energy from the work area (inside). The energy is in most cases transferred in water that is pumped through pipe-work between inside and out where it is cooled (by a water chiller) and sent back to the inside area. This is generally known as a cooling loop.
  2. Inside the warehouse the cooled water from outside is sent through an air handling unit heat exchanger coil. The warm air from the warehouse is drawn across the cold coil face by fans where it is cooled and circulated.

This is what is called a cooling circuit.

Fitting temporary cooling is essentially a straight forward  process for an experienced company with good equipment.

The design and fitting process involves;

  1. First contact with the customer on enquiry should gather as much information as possible to get the ball rolling.
  2. A site visit is necessary in many cases. This involves looking at the positioning of the component parts (chillers and AHU’s) and the routes for the chilled water pipe-work, which may need to penetrate the building. Suitable power supplies are also identified at this time.
  3. Once all the details are confirmed, a proposal with costings is made for the customers consideration.
  4. On order, the equipment is delivered and installed as per set method statements. On completion the system is tested and commissioned before handing over to the client operational.

This is obviously a very simplified version of the process. However, employing the right company with the correct experience and equipment will keep things as straight forward as possible.

As you would expect this is a hard question to answer considering all the possible scenarios.

Typical temporary warehouse cooling installations lead times;

  1. A small 70kw system with one AHU, a packaged chiller, hose and cabling, can be installed within two hours on on site.
  2. A medium 280kw cooling system with one larger water chiller and four internal AHU’s ca be installed in a day on site.
  3. Larger 500 to 1000kw cooling systems can take multiple days.

In all scenarios, if you think you going to ave problems, we would highly recommend getting in-touch as early as possible to head things off.
