The Importance of Humidity & Climate Control in Cold Stores

Optimise climate conditions in cold stores to improve Health & Safety, reduce maintenance requirements and prevent unnecessary callouts.

There’s no doubt about it, cold stores are challenging environments.   Without correct climate control, moisture from open doors will lead to condensation forming on products, surfaces, and floors.  This condensation will quickly turn to ice, resulting in:

• Dangerous, slippery conditions
  Ice can create significant health and safety risks. 
  Icy floors can cause slips and trips, and ice falling from ceilings is dangerous.
  
  
• Ice build up on products surfaces
  Impact on product quality as well as affecting and slowing down barcode scanners
  
  
• Additional and unplanned maintenance
  Increased costs for cold store managers and/or refrigeration contractors

Munters IceDry desiccant dehumidifiers ensure correct climate conditions are maintained to:

• Reduce fog for better visibility
• Improve uptime and reliability of refrigeration equipment
• Prevent emergency call outs for contractors
• Improve refrigeration evaporator efficiency
• Reduce cold store maintenance needs – lower labour costs
• Reduce defrost cycles by up to 1/3
• Control voids above cold stores to stop condensation
