Cold Room Temperature Ranges
Cold rooms play a huge role in many industries and can be used for a wide variety of applications. Knowing which cold room to select for your business and products can be tricky – that’s why understanding the different temperature ranges of cold rooms is essential.
There are various types of cold rooms available with differing temperatures. Understanding what temperature best fits your requirements is essential to investing in a cold room solution that benefits your business!
MTCSS are here to explain the different types of cold rooms available and their temperature ranges.
Cold Rooms and Their Temperatures
Before understanding the differing temperatures of cold rooms, you should understand the different types of cold rooms and their differences.
The cold rooms that MTCSS supply and install include:
- Walk-in chillers, also known as walk-in fridges or chiller cold rooms
- Walk-in freezers/freezer cold rooms
- Ambient areas
- Dual compartment cold rooms
Each type of cold room is suited to different requirements and will maintain a different temperature.
MTCSS can design and install a range of cold room solutions – but what are the temperature ranges of these cold rooms?
Cold Rooms between +1°C and +8°C
Cold rooms that maintain positive temperatures between +1°C and +8°C are walk-in fridges – also known as walk-in chillers or chiller cold rooms.
Walk-in chiller can be designed to suit any size business requirements no matter how big or small (from 2m to 200m+) and act as a more energy and cost-effective alternative to multiple standalone refrigerators that a lot of industries utilise.
Walk-in chillers are perfect for a range of industries and requirements, whether you need to store fresh produce, pharmaceuticals or industrial components – walk- in chillers can provide you with an effective cold room solution.
Cold Rooms between +0°C and -40°C
A temperature-controlled envelope maintaining negative internal temperatures between +0°C and -40°C is classified as a walk-in freezer.
Suitable for a wide range of applications and industries, walk-in freezers are the ideal cold room solution if you need to freeze, store, or preserve your products efficiently and effectively.
Whether you’re a local butcher facility looking for a small capacity walk-in freezer, or you’re a well-established pharmaceutical company requiring a large capacity frozen temperature-controlled area, walk-in freezers are perfect for you.
Other Types of Cold Rooms and Temperatures
Dual Compartment Cold Rooms – One cold room unit split into two (or multiple) cold room compartments with an insulated panel partition wall separating the rooms.
A dual compartment cold room can help your business save on space and money, as it is ideal for requirements where product storage is required at two different temperatures.
There are many dual compartment cold room combinations, such as:
- Chiller and freezer
- Chiller and chiller
- Freezer and freezer
- Chiller and ambient
- Freezer and ambient
Learn more about dual compartment cold rooms on MTCSS’ website.
Ambient Rooms – Envelopes that can be installed with or without temperature control. For ambient rooms with temperature control, temperatures range from +10°C to +30°C.
Non-temperature-controlled ambient areas are ideal for offices, food safe areas, and even changing rooms or toilets!
