Types of Flower Chillers

“Flower chiller” is the general term for refrigeration built to store flowers. As one of the flower chiller manufacturers in UAE, Coldroom.ae supplies flower chillers as display and reach-in cabinets, portable units and walk-in rooms (also called flower cold rooms). The right type depends on how much stock you hold and how it is used. Display units suit customer-facing retail, reach-in units suit daily stock, and walk-in flower cold rooms suit bulk storage.

What Storage Conditions Does a Flower Chiller Need?

Most temperate cut flowers, including roses, carnations, lilies and tulips, keep well in a flower chiller set between 1°C and 3°C. Orchids and anthuriums come from warmer climates and need about 10°C to 13°C, because colder air causes chilling injury that shows as spotting and discoloration. Relative humidity for both groups should sit between 85% and 95%.

Flower cold storage follows the same rules at every scale. A floral chiller in a shop and a cold room for flowers in a warehouse are held to the same ranges, because the flowers inside have the same needs. One setpoint cannot suit both temperate and tropical stock, so florists with mixed stock usually need two separate units or a customized flower chiller with two temperature zones.

Flower chiller temperature by flower type

FlowerGroupTypical storage temperatureHandling note
RosesTemperate1°C to 2°CEthylene sensitivity varies by cultivar
CarnationsTemperate1°C to 2°CHighly sensitive to ethylene
ChrysanthemumsTemperate1°C to 2°CKeep petals dry
LiliesTemperate1°C to 2°CSpace stems for airflow to limit mold
TulipsTemperate1°C to 2°CKeep upright to limit stem bending
OrchidsTropicalAbout 10°C to 13°CRange varies by type; chilling injury shows as spotted or discolored petals
AnthuriumsTropicalAbout 13°CAvoid temperatures below 10°C
Heliconia and gingerTropicalAbout 10°C to 13°CProne to chilling injury

The ranges above are typical guideline figures. The right setting for a given delivery depends on the genus, the cultivar, how mature the flowers are and whether the stems are stored dry or in water. Some wholesale operations hold dry-packed stock closer to 0°C. A chiller that cycles on and off lets the air temperature move above and below the setpoint, and freezing damage cannot be reversed. For that reason we recommend a setting of 1°C or above.

How does a flower cold room manage humidity, airflow, ethylene and condensation?

Once cut, a flower keeps losing water through its petals and leaves, and the stem often cannot draw up enough to keep pace. That is only one of the ways stock deteriorates. Four conditions in the room affect how long the flowers last, and all four need to be under control together.

Humidity. Most refrigeration coils dry the air while they cool it, and dry air pulls water out of petals. Coils sized for a small temperature difference remove much less moisture, so the room is easier to hold at 85% to 95% humidity. Water should not collect on the petals either, since wet petals can develop gray mold (Botrytis).

Airflow. The air in the room should move slowly and reach every shelf. Fast air scorches the edges of delicate petals. Where the air barely moves, pockets of warmer air form, and flowers in those pockets respire faster and age sooner.

Ethylene. Flowers release ethylene as they age. Damaged stems and leaves release it too, as does any produce kept nearby. Species differ widely in how much it affects them. Carnations react badly, with petals that can curl inward and blooms that may not open. Some rose cultivars shatter or wilt early. Removing fading stems promptly and keeping flowers away from other produce is the simplest protection.

Condensation. Warm, humid air enters every time a door opens. On display units, anti-fog glass keeps the flowers visible. In walk-in rooms, quick temperature recovery after the door closes limits moisture build-up inside.

Flower Chillers Built for UAE Conditions

Summer temperatures in the UAE can exceed 45°C, and coastal air carries high humidity. Many standard units are rated for milder conditions, so our flower chillers are specified with:

  • Compressors and condensers rated for high ambient temperatures, so the setpoint holds during summer peaks.
  • Insulated panels and door seals that reduce the load on the refrigeration system and lower running costs.
  • Data loggers with temperature and humidity alarms, so a fault is noticed before stock is lost.

Who buys commercial flower coolers and industrial flower cold rooms?

Our commercial flower coolers and industrial flower cold rooms serve florists, flower wholesalers and importers, event and wedding planners, hotels, supermarkets, exhibition organizers and growers. As a manufacturer and supplier of chillers for flower preservation, Coldroom.ae supplies and installs units in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and across the UAE, and maintains them after installation. For projects in the capital, see our cold room manufacturer in Abu Dhabi page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal temperature for a flower chiller?

Two temperatures cover most stock. Roses, carnations, lilies and tulips go at 1°C to 3°C. Orchids, anthuriums and heliconia go warmer, at 10°C to 13°C, since below that the petals brown and pit and the damage stays. A shop that sells both needs two zones. A single compromise setting would leave one group too cold or the other too warm.

What humidity should a flower cold room maintain?

Aim for 85% to 95% relative humidity. Drier air pulls water out of petals and stems, while wet surfaces at the top of that range invite gray mold, so the room should stay moist without dripping condensation.

Can flowers be stored in a freezer?

No. A floral freezer damages fresh flowers. Cut flowers start to freeze at roughly −0.3°C to −1°C, only just below zero. Ice forms inside the cells, and after thawing the petals turn dark and soft. Fresh flowers need a high-humidity chiller operating above freezing. For sub-zero storage of other goods, see our walk-in freezer solutions.

Can a normal fridge be used to store flowers?

A domestic fridge will keep flowers for a night in an emergency, but it is not built for business use. The air inside is dry, the humidity swings, and stems touching the back wall or the vents can freeze.

What is the difference between a flower chiller and a flower cold room?

Not much. “Flower chiller” is the broader term, and “flower cold room” usually means the walk-in version. Both hold the same temperature and humidity conditions.

How much does a flower chiller cost in the UAE?

There is no single price. A small display chiller for a shop and a walk-in flower cold room are very different machines, and options such as data loggers or a second temperature zone change the figure again. Send us the flowers you store and the space you have, and we will quote against that.

How long do flowers last in a flower chiller?

Storage life depends on the species. Under USDA-based storage guidelines, roses kept in water hold for about 4 to 5 days and dry-packed roses for one to two weeks, while carnations and chrysanthemums can be held for two to four weeks in well-controlled cold storage. Vase life shortens with each day in storage, so flowers should be sold or used soon after removal.

Can Coldroom.ae build a customized flower chiller or customized flower cold room?

Yes. We build both to match your floor plan and the flowers you handle. A multi-zone layout can hold temperate and tropical flowers at different temperatures in one installation, and options include adjustable shelving and lighting.
