Do you know how to build a cold storage room?

Cold storage room is important infrastructure in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries. Their construction requires professional planning, materials and equipment support. As China’s leading cold storage overall solution provider, Canglong Group can provide full-process services from design, materials to construction. The following will introduce in detail the key steps of cold storage construction, the required components and the core technical advantages of Canglong Group.

Core steps of cold storage construction

1. Design planning

Purpose and parameters: clarify the purpose of the cold storage (freezing, refrigeration, quick freezing, etc.), temperature range (-60℃ to 15℃), storage capacity and zoning requirements.

Site selection requirements: select a site with good ventilation, convenient drainage, and stable power supply, avoiding high temperature or humid areas.

2. Main structure construction

Foundation and steel structure: The ground needs to be leveled and the concrete foundation needs to be poured. Large cold storage needs to be equipped with steel frame structure support.

Insulation system: Use high-efficiency insulation materials (such as polyurethane sandwich panels) to cover the walls, roofs and floors to ensure sealing.

3. Equipment installation and commissioning

Refrigeration system: Install core equipment such as compressors, condensers, evaporators, and connect refrigerant pipelines.

Intelligent control: Configure temperature and humidity monitoring, automatic alarm and remote management system.

Key components of cold storage construction and Canglong Group product solutions

1. Insulation system

Insulation board

  • Polyurethane sandwich board: thermal conductivity as low as 0.022 W/(m·K), fire rating B1/B2, thickness 50-200mm optional.
  • Extruded board (XPS): special for ground moisture-proof insulation, compressive strength ≥300kPa.
  • Canglong advantage: Provide customized size board, support fast assembly, and use patented sealing strips at the joints to eliminate cold bridges.

Cold storage door

  • Sliding door/electric sliding door: standard double-layer sealing strips and electric heating anti-condensation function, resistant to low temperature -40℃.
  • Air curtain machine: installed on the top of the door to reduce the loss of cold air when the door is opened.
2. Refrigeration system

Core equipment

  • Refrigeration unit: Canglong provides piston, screw and vortex units, which are suitable for the full temperature range of -60℃~10℃.
  • Evaporative cooling fan: High-efficiency aluminum fin evaporator, equipped with defrosting function, suitable for high humidity environment.
  • Condenser: Air cooling/water cooling optional, energy-saving variable frequency control technology reduces energy consumption by 30%.

Accessories and pipelines

Refrigerant (R404A, R507, etc.), copper pipes, insulation sleeves, valve groups.

3. Electrical and control system
  • Intelligent electric control box: integrated temperature sensor, PLC controller, data recording module.
  • Internet of Things monitoring: support mobile phone APP to remotely view warehouse temperature, equipment operation status and fault warning.
4. Auxiliary facilities
  • Shelves and floor: heavy-duty storage shelves (load capacity 1-5 tons), diamond abrasive wear-resistant floor (anti-slip and anti-freeze).
  • Safety equipment: emergency lighting, ammonia leak alarm (for ammonia refrigeration system).

Canglong Group’s one-stop service advantage

Full industry chain coverage

  • Independently research and develop insulation materials, refrigeration units, and automatic control systems to ensure compatibility and stability.
  • Provide EPC general contracting services from drawing design, equipment selection to construction acceptance.

Leading energy-saving technology

  • Adopting green technologies such as CO2 cascade refrigeration and hot gas defrosting, the energy efficiency ratio (COP) is 15% higher than the industry standard.
  • Photovoltaic cold storage solution: Combined with solar power supply, low-carbon operation is achieved.

Fast delivery and after-sales

  • Modular prefabrication technology shortens the construction period by 50%, and 50+ service outlets across the country provide 24-hour emergency response.
  • Free cold storage operation and maintenance training to extend equipment life.

Example of cold storage construction process (Canglong Group standard solution)

1. Demand communication: confirm temperature, size, budget (reference cost: high temperature warehouse 100-180 US dollars/㎡, low temperature warehouse 200-460 US dollars/㎡).

2. Scheme design: Provide BIM three-dimensional drawings and equipment list within 3 working days.

3. Construction and installation: 15-30 days to complete the main construction and equipment commissioning.

4. Acceptance training: provide third-party test reports and energy efficiency certification.
