We will also be able to extend all above services for ammonia based large cold stores for storage of Milk & Milk products and blast freezing & hardening chambers for Ice Cream, Meat, Poultry, Paneer, Cheese and Butter etc.
Where is ammonia used as a refrigerant?
Industrial systems: large cold storage and process systems i.e. Chilling Plant, Plate Freezer, IQF, Ice Bank Tank (IBT) HVAC systems.
Advanced Panel Insulation
The cold storage utilizes high-density Polyurethane (PU) foam panels, available in various thicknesses from 75mm to 150mm or fully custom. This ensures excellent thermal insulation, maintaining precise internal temperatures and reducing energy consumption. The panels are clad in pre-painted, color-coated galvanized steel for durability and hygienic surfaces, adaptable for all industrial scale requirements.
Versatile Compressor and Cooling Solutions
Clients can select between reciprocating and screw compressors, tailored for both small and large-capacity operations. Direct expansion and pump circulation cooling methods cater to varying load and application needs, ensuring efficacy across food storage, pharma, and ice production. All systems utilize ammonia (NH3) refrigerant for potent and sustainable cooling performance.
Customizable Operation and Safety Controls
Our cold storage units are equipped with PLC-controlled automation, with optional remote monitoring for efficient management. Built-in alarm systems signal temperature or power anomalies, while optional humidity regulation and dual defrosting methods (electric or hot gas) ensure adaptable, safe storage. On-site installation includes hands-on technical support from experienced professionals.
FAQs of Ammonia Cold Storage:
Q: How is the insulation in ammonia cold storage systems optimized for energy efficiency?
A: The cold storage panels are made with polyurethene (PU) foam, available in customized thicknesses from 75mm to 150mm. This high-density insulation significantly minimizes heat ingress, thus enhancing energy efficiency and maintaining stable internal temperatures suitable for frozen food, pharmaceutical, and industrial storage.
Q: What is the typical installation process for these cold storage units in India?
A: Installation is conducted on-site with dedicated technical support, ensuring every componentfrom insulated PU panels and doors to compressors and control systemsis assembled and commissioned to customer specifications. Detailed guidance and after-sales service are provided for seamless operation.
Q: Where can ammonia cold storage systems be effectively used?
A: These systems are ideal for a variety of sectors, including frozen food storage, pharmaceutical preservation, ice manufacturing, and vegetable warehousing. With robust construction and temperature range (-40C to +20C), they perform effectively in tropical and all-weather climates across India.
Q: What types of doors and floors are available, and how do they benefit operations?
A: Options include sliding, swing, or customized doors to fit operational workflows, while the anti-slip insulated floor enhances safety for personnel and mitigates the risk of accidentsespecially in humid or icy environments.
Q: How does humidity control and defrosting work in these cold storage units?
A: Optional humidity control systems maintain appropriate moisture levels, vital for certain products. Defrosting can be performed using either electric heaters or hot gas, which helps prevent ice buildup on evaporators, ensuring consistent cooling and reducing downtime.
Q: What advantages does PLC automation and remote monitoring provide?
A: PLC-controlled automation streamlines system management for precise temperature and process control. Optional remote monitoring enables real-time oversight and quick troubleshooting, thus enhancing reliability, product safety, and reducing manpower needs.
