Free access to cold store
Cold stores are used for
modern storage purposes and must be easily accessible for a transportation point of view.A separation between the cold store and the
front hall is necessary to keep the temperature in the cold store constant.
Without such separation,cold air will flow out of the cold store,while warm
air will penetrate into the cold store.This will lead to energy loss.In addition,
mist and ice will form in the cold store,because warm,humid air from the
front hall mixes with cold,dry air in the store.
Constant temperature
Broken plastic strips do not screen offthe doorway properly. The government is taking more and more measures to assure the quality of
food.Within that scope,European HACCP guidelines have been drawn up.
These prescribe temperature maintenance during the entire process of conditioned storage.This means that the temperature in a cold store must
remain constantly low.With an open
door suppliers,this cannot be done.
Misting and icing-up
Misting and icing-up require a high degree of maintenance and risk for staff.
Misting causes poor visibility,so that fork lift truck drivers have difficulty in
avoiding collisions.Icing-up also leads to an increased risk of accidents.
In addition,icing means that the cold store and the cooling equipment require
additional maintenance. Icing-up leads to dangerous situations. Cold store with open door Energy150 kJ/s
