We are all very familiar with cold storage, which is very common in life. For example, fruits, vegetables, seafood, medicines, etc. all need to ensure freshness. Therefore, the utilization rate of cold storage is getting higher and higher. In order to increase customer satisfaction and higher benefits, many companies have chosen to build cold storage. We all know that the construction of cold storage requires a lot of costs, so many companies are considering how to reduce the cost of cold storage construction. Reducing the cost of cold storage construction means reducing some meaningless expenditures and reducing interference. On this basis, ensure the safety of cold storage. So what are the factors that save the cost of cold storage construction?
Small cold storage
1. The cooling range of the cold storage determines the scope of use of the cold storage and also has a great impact on the installation cost. The lower the design temperature of the cold storage installation, the higher the requirements for the refrigeration equipment, and the higher the cost of the cold storage installation. Reasonable selection of the cooling range of the cold storage is very helpful in controlling the installation cost of the cold storage and reducing investment waste. For example, the temperature for fruit preservation is generally not lower than 0℃, only a few varieties require -1℃, and the suitable preservation temperature of many tropical fruits is 5℃ or even above 10℃. All fruit preservation cold storages are generally designed with a minimum temperature of 0℃. If you think there is no problem, you can also use 5℃ as the design temperature.
2. When building a cold storage, the installation of the cold storage is very flexible. We can achieve the same refrigeration effect by configuring different types and different numbers of units. In small and medium-sized cold storages, the cost of a single unit is generally lower than that of multiple units. However, when the refrigeration capacity of the cold storage reaches a certain level, the requirements for equipment are higher, and the price of a single unit will be higher than that of multiple units. Therefore, when choosing a cold storage solution, do not blindly choose a solution based on the idea that parallel units are more stable, more energy-efficient, or that multiple units are more convenient, but consider the comprehensive installation cost, operating cost, and other aspects.
Medium-sized cold storage
3. The requirements of water-cooled units for cooling water are not very high. Relatively clean water without impurities and corrosiveness can be used. If the cold storage installation site is close to a natural water source or is located in a place such as a ship or factory that already has a water supply system, a water-cooled unit can be selected to directly use the existing water supply system. The price of a water-cooled unit is lower than that of an air-cooled unit. If there is no need to configure water pumps, water pipes and other equipment, the installation cost of the cold storage can be reduced. This approach can reduce the cost of the cold storage and improve the refrigeration efficiency of the cold storage.
4. If the installation environment of the cold storage is poor, in order to ensure that the performance and production efficiency of the cold storage are not affected, appropriate protective measures should be taken during installation to reduce the installation cost and operating cost. So, how to reduce the damage of the cold storage in daily life, and what factors should be paid attention to in the construction environment of the cold storage?
The following are common operating methods:
1. Install the cold storage in a cooler location as much as possible to avoid the increase in the refrigeration load of the cold storage and the increase in the cost of the insulation and refrigeration parts.
2. Avoid or remove harmful factors such as heat sources, corrosive substances, flammable and explosive items when installing the cold storage, so there is no need to invest more money in arranging protective facilities or choosing high-strength materials.
3. If the cold storage is installed indoors, there is no need to invest in the cost of setting up awnings and protective facilities; it is best to build the cold storage in a well-ventilated indoor place, so that the storage body and the unit can be placed indoors, and the expenditure on materials such as pipelines can be saved.
