How a cold room works
As you scroll, the highlighted part of the drawing changes.
-
Insulated panels
They form the walls, floor and ceiling. They keep heat out and cold in.
-
Door
It closes the opening and seals it while people and stock move in and out.
-
Evaporator
Inside the room, it draws heat out of the air its fans move past it.
-
Condensing unit
Outside the room, it compresses the refrigerant and releases the heat. The refrigerant travels between it and the evaporator through copper pipework.
Temperature zones
