The impact of the cold storage unit being too close to the wall

Decreased refrigeration efficiency: restricted air circulation, difficulty in dissipating heat, temperature rise around the unit, deterioration of the working environment of components such as compressors, greatly reduced refrigeration effect, difficulty in meeting storage temperature standards, and affecting the quality of stored items. ​
Shortened equipment lifespan: High temperature accelerates the wear and tear of core components such as compressors and condensers, leading to frequent malfunctions, increased maintenance costs, and even the possibility of premature scrapping. ​
Significant increase in energy consumption: In order to maintain the cooling effect, the unit needs to increase power operation, resulting in a significant increase in electricity consumption and long-term operating costs. ​

Safety standards for installation spacing

Distance requirements

Air cooled unit: It is recommended to be at least 1.5 meters away from the wall, and the distance between multiple units should not be less than 2 meters.
Water cooling unit: Leave at least 0.8 meters on the back for easy maintenance.

Develop consideration factors

Heat dissipation: Ensure air circulation, assist in heat dissipation of the unit, and maintain normal operating temperature. ​
Maintenance: It is convenient for staff to access the equipment for inspection, maintenance and other operations. For example, a maintenance channel of ≥ 800mm should be reserved, and a maintenance distance of 1-1.5m should be left on the supply and return water pipes. ​
Safety: Reduce the risk of combustible gas accumulation and facilitate personnel evacuation and equipment emergency response in emergency situations.
Cold storage safety is no small matter, and compliant installation is the foundation for ensuring stable operation of equipment. Enterprises should prioritize selecting qualified installation teams and undergo regular safety inspections.
