Why should large-scale cold storage be designed separately?

  In the cold chain logistics system, large-scale cold storage is the core facility of low-temperature storage, and its design rationality directly affects the operation efficiency and cost control. As the key technical scheme of large-scale cold storage, compartment design is not a simple space division. The compartment design of large-scale cold storage is a systematic plan based on functional requirements, energy saving and safety guarantee, and has become the standard of modern cold storage construction. ​

  From the point of view of storage function adaptation, partition design is the basis to meet the needs of multiple storage. Large-scale cold storage services cover food processing, medicine cold chain, fresh e-commerce, etc. Different categories usually have significant differences in storage temperature requirements, just like meat needs a freezing environment below -18℃ and fruits and vegetables need a freezing condition of 0-5℃. If the whole warehouse design is adopted, a single temperature environment cannot be compatible with multi-category storage, which leads to the limitation of cold storage function. Through the compartment design, independent areas such as freezing room, cold storage room and constant temperature room can be divided according to the storage demand, and even ultra-low temperature room or controlled atmosphere room can be set for special categories, so as to realize a flexible storage mode with multiple temperatures in one warehouse and greatly improve the service scope and utilization rate of cold storage. ​

Why should large-scale cold storage be designed separately?

  Energy consumption control is another core value of compartment design. In the operation of large-scale cold storage, the energy consumption of refrigeration system accounts for more than 60% of the total energy consumption, and the loss of cooling capacity mainly comes from door-opening operation and space temperature difference. Under the design of the whole warehouse, every time the door is opened, a large amount of cold energy will leak out, and in order to maintain the overall low temperature, the refrigeration system needs to run at high load continuously. The partition design divides the space into independent areas by physical partition, and each partition can adjust the refrigeration parameters independently according to the storage capacity and frequency of use. For areas with frequent access, the door design and refrigeration start-stop logic can be optimized. For long-term storage areas, a stable low temperature can be maintained to reduce energy consumption fluctuations. Reasonable compartment design can reduce the energy consumption of cold storage by 20%-30%, significantly reduce operating costs, and conform to the development trend of energy-saving cold chain. At the same time, the compartment design is also convenient for the management of materials in different areas, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, especially in the cold chain of medicine and food storage, which meets the requirements of industry safety standards. ​

  In addition, the compartment design also provides convenience for the later operation, maintenance and expansion of the cold storage. Independent partition can realize on-demand maintenance and reduce the overall downtime; If it is necessary to expand the storage scale, it can be flexibly expanded on the basis of existing compartments, and there is no need to transform the overall structure of the cold storage. This flexibility not only reduces the operation and maintenance costs, but also enables the cold storage to better adapt to changes in market demand. ​

  To sum up, the partition design of large-scale cold storage is a comprehensive embodiment of functional adaptation, energy saving, security and flexible operation and maintenance, not a simple space division.
