Cold storage is stored with the main use to preserve and prolong the shelf life of products such as food, agricultural products, seafood, and pharmaceuticals … Currently, there are many other methods of preserving products. However, in order to keep product quality, safety and long-term storage time, cold storage method is still the best application today.
As for households that need to preserve a small amount of food, the refrigerator is the first choice. However, for units such as restaurants, supermarkets or industrial zones, and processing zones that produce products that need to be preserved in large quantities, they cannot use tens or even hundreds of refrigerators. So what’s the solution? The cold storage was launched to solve that problem. Used as a refrigerator with a larger capacity, larger size, storing a large number of products for a long time but only need a cold storage.
Cold storage is an effective solution for long-term food preservation and storage, the device not only reduces the temperature of the product storage space, but also increases the relative humidity of the storage to help maintain the freshness of the product. goods.
How much does it cost to “feed” cold storage per month?
The first is the installation cost: the initial cost spent is to “buy” the cold storage. The cost of cold storage depends on the designed area of the warehouse you need to store, the storage temperature depends on the product, respectively, to choose the right machine for the capacity.
Then is the monthly cost you “feed” the cold storage is the electricity consumption of the cold storage.
How many horses is the power consumption of the cold storage unit based on factors such as: cold storage volume, storage temperature, and cooling capacity of the compressor cluster? Capacity of indoor unit, capacity of bulb?
In addition to the fact that the volume and temperature of the cold storage are fixed, when designing a warehouse, we can save a portion of electricity by using a machine with the right capacity. Each horse power of the machine corresponds to 746W of electricity.
We can give an example of the cost of electricity consumption for cold storage.
With cool storage temperatures from 0 to 10 degrees C using a 3.5HP refrigerated compressor. The actual running time 2/3 hours because the temperature drops to 0C the machine will turn off. So the power consumption is 3.5HP × 2 / 3h × 0.746 kW = 1.7 KW / hour.
With a deep sound storage temperature of -10 to -25 degrees C using a compressor with a cold capacity of 5HP, the running time is only 2/4 hours, the power consumption is:
5HP × 2 / 3h × 0.746 kw = 2.5 KW / hour.
Suitable storage temperature of some products such as:
- Agricultural products have a suitable storage temperature of 2 to 8 degrees celsius
- Pharmaceutical and veterinary drugs have a storage temperature of 3-8 degrees Celsius
- Store food from 2 to -10 degrees Celsius
- Seafood preservation from -10 to -18 degrees C
- Store ice from -5 to -10 degrees C
- Store potatoes between 3 and 5 degrees Celsius
- Store fresh animal meat between -10 and -25 degrees Celsius
Finding and selecting a company with a good reputation and experience in installing and supplying cold storage is a prerequisite for the highest efficiency when storing food.
