Refrigeration chambers are spaces designed to maintain a temperature below ambient to preserve perishable products.

These spaces are mainly used in the food industry to store and preserve food.

In this blog, we will explain what refrigeration chambers are and how they work.

How do cold rooms work?

Refrigeration rooms work through a refrigeration system consisting of a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser.

Compressor

The compressor is in charge of compressing and pumping the refrigerant to the evaporator.

Evaporator

The evaporator, for its part, is where cooling occurs when the refrigerant passes through it.

Condenser

The condenser is responsible for condensing the refrigerant and sending it back to the compressor.

Thermostat

To maintain the proper temperature in a refrigeration chamber, it is necessary to have a thermostat that controls the temperature and a defrost device that prevents the accumulation of ice on the evaporator.

In addition, it is important that the camera is thermally insulated to prevent heat leaks and maintain the proper temperature inside.

Types of cold rooms

 There are different types of cold rooms, each one designed for a specific type of product and conservation needs.

For example, freezer rooms are used to keep frozen foods at temperatures of -18ºC or less, while cold rooms are used to keep fresh products at a temperature between 0ºC and 5ºC.

In the food industry, refrigeration chambers are essential to guarantee the quality and safety of food. Storing food at a suitable temperature reduces the growth of bacteria and prolongs the shelf life of the product.

In addition, cold rooms allow companies to better manage their supply chain and reduce food waste.
