How do you choose the right capacity for your cold storage room?
Cold room Design isn't just about cooling a space; it's about ensuring consistent temperature, efficient energy use, and long-term preservation of your products. In Türkiye's humid climate and space-constrained commercial environments, choosing the right cooling capacity and storage volume is key to running a safe and cost-effective business.
Whether you work in the food and beverage, logistics, pharmaceutical, supermarket, or hotel industries, or need a residential/commercial cold storage system, this guide will help you determine the ideal cold storage capacity for your needs. Find out what you're hiding.
