Below are some of the steps we undergo during cold room installation process.
  1. Site Assessment and Planning: The first step Climafrost Refrigeration takes in cold room installation, is to conduct a thorough site assessment to determine the location, size, and specific requirements of the cold room. Factors such as access points, electrical connections, drainage, insulation needs, and environmental conditions are evaluated during this phase.
  2. Design and Engineering: Based on the site assessment, a detailed design and engineering plan are developed for the cold room installation. This includes determining the layout, dimensions, insulation materials, refrigeration system, and other components necessary to meet the client’s needs and specifications.
  3. Preparation of the Site: Before installation can begin, the site must be prepared to accommodate the cold room. This may involve clearing the area, leveling the ground, ensuring proper drainage, and making any necessary structural modifications to the building or infrastructure.
  4. Assembly of Components: The next step involves assembling the various components of the cold room, including wall panels, floor panels, ceiling panels, doors, windows, and insulation materials. Careful attention is paid to ensure that all components are properly aligned and securely fastened together.
  5. Installation of Refrigeration System: Once the structural components are in place, the refrigeration system is installed and connected to the cold room. This includes positioning the condensing unit, evaporator unit, refrigerant lines, and control systems according to the engineering plan.
  6. Electrical and Plumbing Connections: Electrical and plumbing connections are made to power and supply water to the refrigeration system and other components of the cold room. Wiring, piping, and conduits are installed according to local building codes and safety standards.
  7. Testing and Commissioning: After installation, the cold room undergoes rigorous testing and commissioning to ensure that all systems are functioning correctly and meeting performance specifications. This includes checking temperature control, humidity levels, airflow, and insulation integrity.
  8. Insulation and Sealing: Once testing is complete, the cold room is insulated and sealed to minimize heat transfer and ensure energy efficiency. Insulation materials are applied to walls, floors, and ceilings, and any gaps or openings are sealed to prevent air leakage.
  9. Final Inspection and Certification: A final inspection is conducted to verify that the cold room installation meets all regulatory requirements, industry standards, and client specifications. Once approved, the cold room is certified for use, and documentation is provided to the client.
  10. Training and Handover: Before the installation process is complete, training is provided to facility staff on how to operate and maintain the cold room effectively. This includes instruction on temperature control, cleaning procedures, maintenance schedules, and troubleshooting techniques.
  11. Ongoing Maintenance and Support: After installation, ongoing maintenance and support services are issued to our clients to ensure continued performance and reliability of the cold room. This may include routine inspections, preventive maintenance, repairs, and technical support as needed.

3
What types of cold rooms are available for installation in Kenya?
Cold rooms come in various types and sizes to meet different storage needs and applications. Common types include walk-in cold rooms, modular cold rooms, blast freezers, and refrigerated containers. The choice of cold room depends on factors such as space availability, storage capacity, temperature requirements, and budget constraints.
4
How long does it take to install a cold room in Kenya?
The time required for cold room installation in Kenya can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the project, site conditions, and any additional modifications or preparations needed. On average, cold room installation may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, with larger projects requiring more time for completion.
5
What are the energy requirements for operating a cold room in Kenya?
Cold rooms in Kenya typically require electricity to power refrigeration systems, lighting, and other equipment. It's essential to choose energy-efficient refrigeration systems and insulation materials to minimize energy consumption and operating costs. Additionally, alternative energy sources such as solar power may be considered to reduce reliance on the grid and lower environmental impact.
6
Are there any regulations or standards that cold room installations in Kenya must comply with?
Yes, cold room installations in Kenya must comply with various regulations and standards related to building codes, food safety, hygiene, and environmental protection.
7
What maintenance is required after cold room installation?
After cold room installation, regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the system. This may include routine inspections, cleaning of coils and filters, checking refrigerant levels, lubricating moving parts, and addressing any issues or abnormalities detected during operation.
8
Is technical support available after cold room installation?
Yes, Climafrost Refrigeration offers technical support and assistance to help clients with troubleshooting, repairs, and general inquiries related to cold room operation and maintenance.
