What kind of cold storage is 50mm coolroom panel suitable for?
In today’s rapid development of cold chain logistics and food and medicine industries, cold storage board is the core material for cold storage construction, and its thickness and performance directly affect the energy consumption and operating efficiency of cold storage. Among them, 50mm coolroom panel has become the mainstream choice for small and medium-sized cold storage in the world with its balanced insulation, economy and scope of application.
As an industry-leading cold storage solution provider, Canglong cold room panel manufacturer provides customers with efficient and energy-saving cold storage construction support with innovative technology and global services.
1. Global cold storage trends and the role of 50mm coolroom panel
With the outbreak of fresh food e-commerce, pharmaceutical cold chain and pre-prepared food industries, the global cold storage capacity has an average annual growth rate of more than 8%. Different scenarios have significant differences in the demand for cold storage insulation:
- European and American markets: high-standard cold chain requires deep cold storage below -25℃, and cold storage boards with a thickness of more than 100mm are generally used.
- Emerging markets in Asia: Small and medium-sized cold storage (0℃~-18℃) account for 65%, and 50mm coolroom panel has become the first choice due to its cost-effectiveness.
- Environmental policy drive: The international Freon emission reduction agreement promotes the popularization of polyurethane (PU) cold room panels. The thermal conductivity of 50mm thick PU boards is as low as 0.022W/(m·K), with significant energy-saving effects.
Canglong Group provides customized solutions for customers in 30+ countries, such as -18℃ seafood freezers in Southeast Asia and Chinese pharmaceutical transit cold storage, verifying the stable performance of 50mm coolroom panels in temperature and humidity scenarios.
2. Four cold storage types best suited for 50mm coolroom panel
2.1 High-temperature cold storage (0℃~10℃)
Applicable scenarios: fruit and vegetable storage, constant temperature wine storage, and cool medicine storage.
Advantages of 50mm boards: PU/PIR materials effectively isolate external heat sources, and with moisture-proof layers, the humidity control accuracy reaches ±5%.
Case: 5,000 square meters of cold storage was built for a South American fruit exporter, and the electricity bill was reduced by 25% year-on-year.
2.2 Small and medium-sized freezers (-18℃~-10℃)
Applicable scenarios: meat freezing, ice cream storage, quick-frozen food processing workshops.
Technical key: 50mm coolroom panel adopts “double lock edge + seamless splicing” process, which reduces the cold bridge effect by 80% and ensures low temperature stability.
2.3 Pharmaceutical cold storage (2℃~8℃)
Compliance requirements: meet GSP/GMP certification, and the board fireproof grade is B1.
Solution: 50mm antibacterial cool room panel, surface coating to prevent mildew, temperature fluctuation ≤±2℃.
2.4 Logistics transit cold storage
Demand characteristics: frequent opening and closing of doors, short-term storage, requiring rapid cooling and low energy consumption.
Solution: 50mm polyurethane cold storage panel + high-efficiency refrigeration unit combination, cooling speed increased by 30%.
3. Performance advantages and selection guide of 50mm coolroom panel
3.1 Core performance comparison
| Parameter | 50mm PU Panel | 50mm Rock Wool Panel |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal Conductivity | ≤0.022W/(m·K) | 0.040W/(m·K) |
| Fire Resistance | B1 Grade | A Grade |
| Temperature Range | -50°C–100°C | -30°C–70°C |
| Cost Efficiency | ★★★★★ | ★★★☆☆ |
3.2 Three principles of selection
Temperature requirement: 50mm PU board is preferred for cold storage above -18℃, and the thickness needs to be increased for extreme low temperature.
Frequency of use: It is recommended to match with reinforced steel frame for high-frequency in and out of storage to improve structural stability.
Budget control: The comprehensive cost of 50mm board is 30%~40% lower than that of 100mm board, which is suitable for small and medium-sized investors.
