Refrigeration is more than just making a space cold – check the interfaces

There are number of aspects associated with refrigerated warehouses that don’t explicitly fall under the category of refrigeration, but can let down a project or create headaches if done incorrectly. This presentation will draw on ISECO’s extensive experience with large and medium-sized refrigerated warehouse facilities to identify things to think about, including:

  • Sizing room pressure vent ports
  • Design pressure ratings of rapid roll doors
  • Detailing penetrations
  • Over-sealing panel joints
  • Managing infiltration into freezers
  • Cold-bridging typical problem areas
  • How do you calculate maximum demand, and what type of defrosts should you use?
