How High Speed Doors Reduce Energy Loss in Cold Storage Facilities
Cold storage facilities have to keep the temperature right. If the temperature changes a bit it can affect the quality of the products how long they last. If they meet the rules. One big reason the temperature changes is when people open and close the doors a lot. This is where high speed doors can really help. These doors help by reducing the amount of air that gets in and out and by closing. This means that cold storage facilities do not lose much energy. The Real Problem: Air Exchange In a cold storage unit the temperature inside is kept steady. Usually between -25°C to 8°C depending on what is being stored.
