COLD ROOMS

Coldrooms are essential for storing temperature-sensitive goods in commercial kitchens, food retail, and industrial settings. Proper installation, use, and maintenance are key to ensuring consistent performance and preventing common issues. Below are the most frequent questions clients ask, along with clear answers to help you keep your coldroom running efficiently.

Frequently asked questions

What temperature range should I choose for my products?

Chilled rooms usually run between +1°C and +5°C. Freezer rooms operate at -18°C or lower, depending on the type of goods being stored.

Why does a freezer coldroom need a floor?

Freezer coldrooms require insulated flooring to prevent cold loss and moisture buildup from condensation, which can damage the structure.

What is the ideal environment for installing a coldroom?

Coldrooms should be installed indoors or in well-sheltered areas with stable ambient temperatures and proper ventilation around the refrigeration unit.

Can I install a coldroom if I don’t have space for an outdoor unit?

Yes, in many cases a monoblock (integrated) unit can be used instead of a remote condensing unit. Your installer can help choose the right configuration.

How far can the outdoor unit be from the coldroom?

Up to 10–15 meters is generally acceptable, but distance affects performance. Pipe length, layout, and ventilation must all be considered.

What can I do to help maintain correct temperatures?

Keep doors closed as much as possible, avoid overloading shelves, and ensure the door seals and gaskets are in good condition.

Why is the controller showing an error?

It’s indicating a system fault. Refer to the manual or contact aftersales for help identifying and resolving the issue.

Why is ice forming on the evaporator?

This can be due to high humidity, door left open, or a defrost cycle not completing. A technician may need to inspect the defrost settings.

Why is water leaking from the evaporator?

A clogged drain or improper defrosting may be the cause. Regular cleaning helps prevent this.

Why is cold air escaping through the door?

Check for damaged or misaligned gaskets and ensure the door is closing fully without obstruction.

Why is there condensation on the ceiling below the coldroom?

This usually means the coldroom floor lacks proper insulation or vapour barriers. Thermal bridging should be addressed during installation.

Should I enrol in a preventative maintenance agreement?

Yes — regular checks reduce the risk of breakdowns, protect your stock, and ensure compliance with hygiene and safety standards.

What does a maintenance visit include?

Typical procedures include system performance checks, cleaning of key components, verification of temperature settings, and inspection of door seals and insulation.
