Calculation of industrial refrigeration equipment

The calculation of industrial refrigeration equipment is an important stage that ensures optimal system efficiency and resource saving. Correctly selected equipment guarantees maintenance of the necessary temperature and conditions of product storage, which is especially important for the food industry, warehouses, logistics centers, and pharmacies.

The main stages of the calculation Determining the volume of the refrigerating chamber. To begin with, it is necessary to determine the volume of the room that is planned to be cooled. The volume of the chamber directly affects the power of the refrigeration equipment, because larger rooms require more powerful units.

Calculation of heat loads. It is important to determine how much heat enters the cold room from various sources, including heat coming through the walls, doors, floor and ceiling. Heat loads from lighting, equipment inside the camera, as well as heat emitted by products are also taken into account.

Selection of temperature mode. Depending on the stored products, the required temperature is selected. For example, frozen foods require a temperature of -18°C and below, while chilled foods can be stored at +2°C to +4°C.

Selection of capacity of refrigeration equipment. Based on the received data, equipment with the appropriate cooling capacity is selected, which can ensure the stability of the required temperature with minimal energy consumption.

The importance of accurate calculation Accurate calculation helps to avoid excess energy costs and ensures stable conditions for product storage. Correctly selected refrigeration equipment also reduces the risk of breakdowns associated with system overload. It is better to entrust the calculation of industrial refrigeration equipment to professionals in order to take into account all factors and ensure the reliable operation of the system.
