Air coolers are crucial for the operation of cold storage facilities. Choosing the right air cooler can ensure stable operation, reduce energy consumption and costs. Here are three key parameters to analyze how to select an air cooler based on the cold storage area.
Cooling capacity: the core that matches the cold storage area
The cooling capacity is the amount of heat removed by the air cooler from the cold storage unit per unit time, which directly affects whether the cold storage can reach and maintain the set temperature. The larger the cold storage area, the more heat needs to be removed. When calculating, in addition to the area, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cold storage, insulation performance, and heat generation of the stored goods also need to be considered. If there is a difference in insulation, a larger cooling capacity is required.
Air circulation volume: Ensure uniform temperature distribution
The air circulation volume is the volume of air circulated per unit time by the air cooler, which is an important parameter for ensuring uniform temperature inside the cold storage. Even if the cooling capacity is sufficient, insufficient air circulation can still lead to high temperatures in some corners, affecting the quality of the goods. The larger the cold storage area, the greater the air circulation required, and it is also related to the type of stored goods. Temperature sensitive goods require a larger circulation.
Installation size: compatible with the cold storage space
The installation size of the air cooler needs to be compatible with the cold storage space to ensure smooth installation without affecting the use of the cold storage, including length, width, height, and the space required for installation and maintenance. Choose small-sized air coolers for cold storage with limited area, and large-sized ones for large cold storage according to actual needs. At the same time, the installation location should be conducive to air circulation and even distribution of cold air, otherwise it will affect the cooling effect.
Summarize
The selection of air coolers requires comprehensive consideration of cooling capacity, air circulation capacity, and installation size to ensure efficient and stable operation of the cold storage. The correct selection can not only improve refrigeration efficiency, but also reduce energy consumption and extend equipment life. It is recommended to consult a professional refrigeration engineer for accurate calculations to ensure optimal operation of the cold storage.
