The installation of a walk-in cooler or freezer is a meticulous process that involves several key components, each designed to optimize temperature control and enhance the efficiency of your refrigeration system. At Mike’s Panels, we utilize PIR (polyisocyanurate) panels for constructing the walls and ceilings of our walk-in units. These insulated panels for cold rooms offer superior thermal resistance, ensuring minimal energy loss and maintaining consistent temperatures critical for preserving perishable goods in commercial settings.
The first step in the installation process is to prepare the site, ensuring a level foundation that can support the weight of the cooler or freezer. Once the site is ready, the PIR panels are assembled to create the structure, interlocking securely to form a rigid and insulated shell. These panels are available in various thicknesses, allowing for customization based on specific temperature requirements, whether for a refrigerated environment or a frozen storage space.
Next, special refrigeration doors are installed to provide easy access while ensuring an effective seal to prevent cold air loss. These insulated doors for cold rooms are designed to withstand frequent use in high-traffic areas, featuring automatic closing mechanisms and magnetic gaskets for enhanced insulation. Our doors can also be equipped with vision window for cold room doors for visibility and safety, allowing employees to monitor traffic without opening the insulated door.
In addition to the structural components, the installation of a walk-in cooler or freezer includes crucial refrigeration equipment, such as condensers and evaporators. The condenser is typically mounted outside the cooler, responsible for dissipating heat and converting refrigerant gas back into liquid form. Meanwhile, the evaporator is installed inside, where it absorbs heat from the air within the cooler or freezer, thereby lowering the internal temperature. Proper placement and sizing of these components are essential for maximizing energy efficiency and maintaining the desired temperature.
Finally, the entire system is connected to a reliable thermostat that allows for precise control of the temperature settings. At Mike’s Panels, we ensure that every aspect of the installation is carefully executed, from the assembly of insulated panels to the installation of specialized doors and refrigeration units. Our goal is to deliver a high-performance walk-in cooler or freezer that meets your specific storage needs while maximizing energy savings and ensuring optimal product preservation.
