Why Are Cold Room Panels Important?

Maintaining a stable temperature inside a cold storage facility requires minimizing unwanted heat transfer. The insulation performance of the cold room panel plays an important role in maintaining the desired internal temperature.

A properly selected cold room panel helps reduce heat transfer from the external environment and contributes to more controlled operation of the refrigeration system.

• Provides thermal insulation.
• Helps maintain the required internal temperature.
• Reduces unwanted heat transfer.
• Provides hygienic and easy-to-clean surfaces.
• Contributes to the structural durability of the cold room.
• Can be selected according to different temperature requirements.

Keskinso Cold Room Panel Technical Specifications

Keskinso cold room panels are manufactured with 0.50 mm galvanized steel sheets on both sides. Depending on project requirements, the galvanized steel surfaces can be supplied with polyester, CRNI or PVDF coating options.

The panels are manufactured using 42 density polyurethane insulation material. This insulation structure is designed for applications where efficient thermal insulation is required.

0.50 mm Galvanized Steel Surface

The 0.50 mm galvanized steel sheets used on both sides of the panel contribute to the mechanical strength and durability of the cold room panel.

Polyester, CRNI and PVDF surface coating options can be evaluated according to the intended application and project requirements.

42 Density Polyurethane Insulation

Insulation material is one of the most important components of a cold room panel. Keskinso panels are manufactured with 42 density polyurethane.

Polyurethane insulation helps reduce heat transfer through the panel and supports the controlled maintenance of the required temperature inside the cold storage area.

Cold Room Panel Thicknesses

Keskinso manufactures cold room panels in different thicknesses according to project requirements.

• 80 mm cold room panel
• 100 mm cold room panel
• 120 mm cold room panel
• 150 mm cold room panel
• 180 mm cold room panel
• 200 mm cold room panel

The appropriate panel thickness should be selected according to the target temperature, room dimensions, stored products, ambient temperature, application and refrigeration capacity.

Cold Room Panel Compressive Strength

According to Keskinso technical information, the wall panel has a compressive strength of 1.20 kg/cm².

Mechanical strength is particularly important in commercial and industrial cold storage facilities where panels may be exposed to intensive daily use.

Polyurethane Fire Classification

According to the technical information provided by Keskinso, the polyurethane material is classified under B1-B2-B3 according to DIN 4102.

Fire safety requirements should always be evaluated according to the applicable local regulations, standards and technical specifications of the specific project.

Sound Insulation of Cold Room Panels

Keskinso cold room panels are specified with 25 dB sound insulation for all panel thicknesses.

Sound insulation can be an important consideration in facilities where cold storage areas are located close to production, office or personnel working areas.

Cold Room Doors and Panel Compatibility

A professional cold room does not consist only of insulated panels. The cold room door is also an important component of the complete system.

Proper door dimensions, insulation performance and sealing are important for reducing unwanted air and temperature losses.

When comparing a cold room door price, buyers should consider the door dimensions, insulation, hardware, materials, sealing and intended operating conditions, rather than comparing purchase price alone.

Cold Room Refrigeration Equipment and Panel Selection

In a professional cold room system, the selected panel and refrigeration equipment should be designed to work together.

Refrigeration capacity depends on several technical parameters, including:

• Cold room volume
• Panel thickness
• Target temperature
• Incoming product temperature
• Daily product load
• Door opening frequency
• Ambient temperature
• Product characteristics
• Application and operating conditions

Therefore, when comparing a cold room refrigeration unit price, capacity, energy consumption and compatibility with the complete cold room system should also be considered.

Factors Affecting Cold Room Price

The total cold room price depends on the technical requirements and dimensions of each project.

1. Cold room dimensions
2. Panel thickness
3. Panel surface coating
4. Insulation material
5. Cold room door
6. Refrigeration equipment capacity
7. Flooring requirements
8. Installation and assembly
9. Electrical and control equipment
10. Special project requirements

For this reason, a single cold room panel price cannot be used as a reliable basis for comparing completely different projects.

Modular Cold Room Solutions

Businesses with limited space or companies planning future expansion may consider a modular cold room.

Modular panels can be assembled to create cold storage areas in different sizes according to the requirements of the project.

• Supermarkets
• Restaurants
• Hotels
• Butcher shops
• Delicatessens
• Food businesses
• Production facilities
• Logistics warehouses

Home Cold Room Solutions

A home cold room can also be considered for special residential or private storage applications. However, panel thickness, door design, refrigeration capacity and intended usage should be properly evaluated.

Turnkey Cold Room Solutions

Businesses looking for a complete solution can consider a turnkey cold room. This approach allows the design, equipment selection, installation and commissioning processes to be managed as one complete project.

A turnkey cold room installation may include:

• Cold room panels
• Cold room doors
• Refrigeration equipment
• Electrical and control systems
• Flooring solutions
• Installation and assembly
• Testing and commissioning

Portable Cold Storage and Container Cold Rooms

Businesses requiring flexible storage solutions can consider a portable cold storage system.

For container-based projects, a container cold room can provide a practical solution for temperature-controlled storage.

These solutions can be considered for logistics, agricultural products, food storage, meat and dairy products and temporary cold storage requirements.

How to Select the Right Cold Room Panel

Selecting the right cold room panel is essential for creating an efficient and reliable cold storage system.

Before selecting a panel, the following questions should be answered:

• What will the cold room be used for?
• What internal temperature is required?
• What are the room dimensions?
• What is the ambient temperature?
• How much product will enter the room daily?
• How frequently will the door be opened?
• What panel thickness is required?
• Which surface coating is suitable?
• What refrigeration capacity is required?
