Introduction
Cold room installation is a vital process in industries such as food storage, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, logistics, and hospitality. A properly installed cold room ensures consistent temperature control, energy efficiency, and prolonged product shelf life.
From walk-in freezers for restaurants to large-scale warehouses for pharmaceutical storage, cold room installation plays a pivotal role in daily operations. Partnering with a trusted cold room manufacturer guarantees the use of high-quality materials and adherence to international standards.
Whether you’re seeking a commercial or industrial cool room installation, understanding the full installation process is crucial for long-term performance and compliance.

Sequence of Work for Cold Room Installation
Installing a cold room is a step-by-step process involving precision, engineering, and technical knowledge. Here’s a detailed look:
1. Wall Panel Installation
We begin with assembling pre-fabricated insulated wall panels. These are typically made from polyurethane or polystyrene foam sandwiched between metal sheets. Each panel is joined using cam-lock systems to ensure air-tightness and structural integrity.
2. Ceiling Panel Installation
Ceiling panels are installed next and are fixed carefully to match the alignment of the wall panels. Any gaps can compromise insulation, so special sealants are used to ensure thermal continuity.
3. Insulated Door Installation
Next, we install heavy-duty insulated doors, either hinged or sliding. These doors are often equipped with anti-frost heaters, door closers, and gaskets to minimize cold air leakage.
4. Fixing Lights
Energy-efficient, vapor-proof LED lighting is installed. These lights offer long life spans and help maintain visibility without affecting the cold room’s internal temperature.
5. Fixing Pressure Release Valves
Cold rooms often experience internal pressure differences during frequent door openings. We install pressure release valves to prevent wall distortion and ensure smooth door operations.
6. Floor Insulation and Vapor Barriers
For walk-in cold rooms, proper floor insulation is critical. We use vapor barriers beneath the insulation layers to prevent moisture intrusion and thermal loss.
7. Refrigeration Unit Mounting
Based on thermal load calculations, we install the appropriate indoor and outdoor refrigeration units. These units include condensers, evaporators, compressors, and expansion valves that work together to maintain desired temperature ranges.
8. Electrical and Control Panel Integration
The final step includes wiring and installing digital controllers and alarms. These systems allow users to monitor temperature, humidity, and energy consumption in real-time.
We also test each component thoroughly before handing over the installation.
Cold Room Installation Requirements and Do’s and Don’ts
Requirements
- A level, moisture-free base surface
- Adequate spacing for installation and maintenance
- Power connections (preferably a separate circuit for refrigeration units)
- Proper ventilation for condenser units
- Access to drain lines for defrost cycles
Do’s
- ✅ Choose a certified cold room manufacturer with local support
- ✅ Conduct thermal load calculations to select the correct refrigeration capacity
- ✅ Use food-safe, corrosion-resistant wall finishes
- ✅ Seal all panel joints with insulating foam
- ✅ Install digital controllers and backup systems
Don’ts
- ❌ Don’t skip pressure relief valves—this can damage the structure
- ❌ Never place the cold room near heat sources or direct sunlight
- ❌ Don’t ignore humidity control—this can lead to frost build-up or mold
- ❌ Avoid using sub-standard insulation materials
- ❌ Don’t overload the room beyond its cooling capacity

FAQs
A cold room requires insulated panels, proper site leveling, refrigeration units, electrical wiring, lighting, drainage, and ventilation. Professional planning is key to efficient operation.
The ideal cold room temperature ranges from 0°C to 5°C. For freezing applications, it can drop to -18°C or lower depending on the items stored.
Typical humidity levels in cold rooms range from 60% to 90%. Some products require specific conditions, so we install humidity controllers where necessary.
Choose units based on cooling load, room size, ambient temperature, and type of product stored. We conduct heat load calculations to select the right combination for maximum efficiency.
