When it comes to designing and building a cold room room, engineering and refrigeration systems are a vital component to ensure your cold room or ambient area maintains the conditions required by your business.
MTCSS are experts in not only designing cold rooms, but we are also experts when it comes to temperature control.
Our team can design, build and manage every aspect of your project – including refrigeration systems, which we can tailor to the exact requirements of your industry and application.
Types of Refrigeration Systems
There are a range of refrigeration systems available dependent on your application, budget, location, room size, temperature range, and more.
- Monoblock systems: plug and play refrigeration is generally used for small to medium capacity walk-in chillers and walk-in freezers. These fit through the wall or ceiling of the cold room, so need to be installed within a well-ventilated area.
- Split refrigeration systems: these systems consist of two units, a condensing unit which sits externally (outside of the building) and an evaporator which is installed inside the cold room. Split systems can be utilised in any capacity cold room and are ideal for areas which are poorly ventilated.
- Back-up refrigeration: different levels of back-up refrigeration can be designed depending on the level of contingency required. This includes 100% back-up to ensure that in the event of any system or power failures, your products will be consistently protected.
- Humidity control systems: in conjunction with temperature-controlled systems, MTCSS can also design humidity control to further control the conditions of your rooms.
We can also supply and install air conditioning systems for office spaces, kitchens and other areas.
Customising Your Refrigeration System & Engineering Requirements
Cold room engineering and ambient temperature control can be tailored to meet our customer demands and requirements. Customisations can include:

- Temperature range
- Types of refrigerant
- Energy usage
- Fire ratings
- Back-up level
- Humidity control
- Atmospheric and pressure control
- Remote monitoring, BMS systems and leak detection
Our expert team carefully selects the correct system to ensure it suits the environment and requirements of the specific industry. For example, we take into consideration the area of installation (whether internal, external, coastal etc); the noise restrictions; access requirements in addition to budgets, certifications and classifications.
Cold Room Engineering & the Environment
The use of refrigerants in cold rooms, air conditioning and temperature control in relation to the impact on the environment is something that needs to be considered. That is why MTCSS select refrigerants in line with the UK’s F-Gas changing regulations (Read our article here for more information).
We can use specific refrigerants at your request and in line with your industry’s requirements. At project completion we will also issue F-gas details for each system installed by MTCSS.
MTCSS can design, supply and install cold room engineering and refrigeration systems as part of a turnkey cold room / ambient project; OR we can design, supply and install the temperature-controlled system only for your project.
