Drying solutions for cold stores

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document addresses the challenges and solutions for maintaining optimal conditions in cold storage facilities, focusing on ice and frost formation due to warm air ingress.

Challenges in Cold Storage
Icing Issues: Warm air causes condensation and ice formation, reducing cooling efficiency and increasing energy use.
Hygiene and Safety Risks: Ice and condensation can lead to mold, slippery surfaces, and damaged packaging, increasing safety risks and maintenance costs.

Solutions for Ice Prevention
Humidity Control: Industrial dryers like Trotec's desiccant dehumidifiers control humidity, preventing ice formation and reducing energy and maintenance costs.
Dehumidification Systems: Dehumidifiers in transition areas prevent fog and ice, ensuring efficient loading and unloading.

Advantages of Using Trotec Dehumidifiers
Reduced Ice Formation: Less ice and fog in entrance areas, maintaining door functionality and reducing maintenance costs.
Improved Safety: Dry floors reduce accident risks, and mist-free strip curtains maintain clear visibility.
Cost Efficiency: Fewer defrost operations and reduced energy consumption lower operational costs.

Technical Features of TTR Series
Flexible Configuration: TTR models offer dual air circulation for efficient dehumidification, with adjustable fans for independent control.
Durability and Maintenance: TTR models are durable, require minimal maintenance, and can be configured for specific needs.

Expert Services
Trotec provides tailored solutions by analyzing site-specific requirements and offering trial runs with mobile units to ensure effectiveness before permanent installation.

HOW GOOD IS THE PROTECTION OF YOUR COLD STORE AGAINST THE FORMATION OF ICE AND FROST? It is not only due to the extremely low temperatures that frozen storage facilities in the food industry impose high demands on air-conditioning technology. As early as in the construction planning phase there are climate-related characteristics to be observed for the increasingly complex product storage processes so as to ensure the efficient cooling ­ operation of a cold store on a long-term basis. moisture first precipitates on the cold surfaces in form of condensate and then freezes. At the same time cold...

THE FORMATION OF ICE IN A COLD WAREHOUSE IS EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS. An insufficient or even lacking humidity regulation in the cold store involves numerous risks and is just plain bad for business with the costs skyrocketing. Hence, you should protect your goods and employees from these cost-intensive dangers. ■ Hygiene problems Condensate on the floors, walls and goods are the ideal breeding ground for mould and bacterial growth. Both warehouse and cooling technology have to be cleaned with increasing frequency. ■ Inefficient cooling With an iced up cooling technology the low temperatures can...

END THE ICE AGE IN YOUR COLD STORE. Humidity control avoids the formation of ice and high consequential costs. When warm and moist air from the loading area enters the warehouse, condensate forms on cold surfaces and freezes to ice. Apart from the previously described problems, frost in a cold store implies one thing above all else: high costs! With an uncontrolled humidity level a great deal of the energy essentially required for cooling is spent on converting the moisture contained in the incoming air into ice. The cooling process becomes inefficient, the energy consumption grows and the cooling...

KEEP MOISTURE FROM ENTERING THE COLD STORE. Eliminating moisture where it is formed. In the climate conditioning of the cold chain logistics the dew point is reduced by use of dehumidifiers so no condensate can form. Decisive for condensate formation are the transition areas in the cold chain logistics. At the ramp, where the goods are loaded from cold storage into the truck, the humidity level must be reduced before loading, so the change of temperature cannot cause the formation of fog and ice at the gate to the cold store air lock. An ongoing dehumidification of the air to a low dew point...

EXPERTISE RATHER THAN EXPERIMENTS PLAY IT SAFE. WITH OUR BEST PRACTICE INDUSTRIAL SERVICES. Since every industrial undertaking has characteristic process flows, installations and facilities, every air treatment solution demands case-specific device configurations. All in all, the combined effects of air currents, humidity conditions and temperature fluctuations are often hard to calculate on a purely theoretical basis, e.g. in airlock areas or on conveying paths. The consequence: Unnecessary additional costs due to an overestimated demand or – even worse – solutions not working sufficiently in...
