Cold rooms, also known as walk-in coolers, can conveniently provide a substantial amount of chilled food storage space. Nowadays, more and more manufacturers are providing bespoke, tailored cold room solutions designed best suiting your specific requirements.

A cold room is simply an insulated room within a room, whose structure is to keep cold air inside and the warm air out. Due to the similarity in structure between cold rooms and freezer rooms, it is difficult to distinguish them, but we can use some technical features to distinguish them.

1. Temperature

The temperature of a freezer room must be lower than the temperature of the cold room. Generally speaking, the operating temperature range of most cold rooms is from 0 ° C to 5 ° C. Compared to cold rooms, the freezer is capable of operating at much lower temperatures like -40°C.

Their specific temperature varies depending on the manufacturer, so if you need to purchase a cold room, it is important to closely consult with a cold room specialist to set the appropriate temperature.

2.Applications

Due to the temperature difference between the cold room and freezer, their applications also differ greatly. The purpose of the walk-in cold rooms is to store the products at a low temperature above the freezing temperature.

This means you can easily use the products without defrosting. For example, fresh fruits, vegetables, medical supplies, and many other such products are stored in cold rooms. You will have to contact a professional cold room panel 

manufacturer to provide a suitable solution that meets your specific requirements.

On the other hand, the purpose of the freezer is to preserve various products for a long time. Due to the fact that extremely low temperatures can prevent the accumulation and multiplication of microbes, products can be preserved for a long time in freezer.

3.Storage Space

There is not much difference in storage space between cold rooms and freezer rooms. Generally speaking, the space between the two is roughly the same.

However, you can maximize storage space by choosing custom cold room panels and freezer room panels. In addition, manufacturers can also provide shelving units to optimize space utilization efficiency.

4. Safety

Because it is necessary to protect many products such as medical supplies from possible theft, considering the safety of the cold room and walk-in freezers is also a very important factor. In addition, having a security system can also ensure that products are properly protected from accidental pollution and unnecessary losses.

Generally speaking, you can find many cold room specialists who are willing to perform cold room installation in a safe and secure manner. In this way, you will be able to ensure the maximum security of the selected cold storage solution.

Takeaways

As shown above, choosing the appropriate cold storage solution largely depends on your requirements. Generally speaking, if you want to store products at low and moderate temperatures for a short period of time, please choose a walk-in cold room. If your product needs to be frozen for a long time, a walk-in freezer is a better choice.

In terms of food storage and preservation, walk-in cold rooms and walk-in freezers are both very important. By understanding the differences mentioned above, you can easily make a wise choice and install suitable cold room panels or freezer room panels.
