How to Install a Cold Room?

A cold room is essential for businesses that need to store food, beverages, or pharmaceuticals at controlled temperatures. In this guide, based on Tekop Refrigeration’s How to Install a Cold Room video, we’ll walk you through the full installation process from preparing the site to running the refrigeration system.

1. Preparing the Site

Before starting your cold room installation, choose a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is enough space not only for the cold room itself but also for airflow and maintenance access. Proper site preparation ensures long-term efficiency.

2. Floor Panel Installation

The installation begins with positioning the floor panels. These insulated panels prevent heat transfer and help maintain stable internal temperatures. They should be aligned precisely to ensure a perfect fit with the wall panels.

3. Wall Panel Assembly

Next, the wall panels are installed. Tekop Refrigeration uses cam-lock systems for quick and secure connections. Start from one corner and continue attaching each panel, making sure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent air leaks.

4. Ceiling Panel Placement

Once the walls are in place, the ceiling panels are added. This step requires careful alignment to ensure the structure is airtight. Proper sealing is critical for energy efficiency.

5. Installing the Door

Cold room doors are designed for heavy use and thermal insulation. Depending on your needs, you can choose sliding or hinged doors. The door frame is fixed into place, and rubber gaskets are checked to ensure perfect sealing.

6. Refrigeration Unit Setup

The refrigeration system consists of two main components: the evaporator unit inside the cold room and the condenser unit outside. Tekop’s systems are connected via insulated copper pipes. Proper installation ensures efficient cooling and longer equipment life.

7. Final Checks and Testing

After assembly, the cold room is tested. The refrigeration unit is switched on, the thermostat is set to the required temperature, and insulation is inspected. This step confirms that the cold storage is ready for use.

Cold Room Installation Tips

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use quality insulation materials to improve energy savings.
Make sure all cam-lock connections are tight.
Schedule regular maintenance for the refrigeration system.

Conclusion

Installing a cold room might seem complex, but with the right steps and quality equipment, it becomes a straightforward process. Tekop Refrigeration’s modular systems make assembly fast, reliable, and efficient, ensuring your products stay fresh and safe.
