Cold Storage
| |
Unlike electrical and mechanical applications, infrared can help in detecting cold air escape. If cold air is escaping there could also be hot air intruding, this is caused by airflow. Cold storage facilities need to maintain proper temperature control to benefit the quality of the product in storage. Without the proper temperatures being maintained, the guarantee of quality and freshness will be at risk.
If you have to run a compressor or cooling unit at lower temperatures than the temperature needed, then there are energy efficiency issues that need to be addressed. This situation could place a business at risk of losing money as well as overworking and possibly overheating the cooling mechanics being used. To ensure proper energy use in cold storage facilities, infrared can help detect the areas that are allowing cold air to escape. Some of these areas may have simple issues such as insulation gaps that can be repaired easily and at little cost.
When it comes to potato or onion storage, temperature or climate control is a critical issue. Using the current form of temperature measurement is slow and not always accurate. With our cameras we can quickly scan a large area and assess the situation and help detect problems at an early stage. These cameras are calibrated on an annual basis and show accuracy in temperature, by as little as .08 of a degree difference.
Gain confidence in knowing that your cold storage units are energy efficient. Let West Coast Infrared, LLC show you how easy it is to monitor the condition of your assets, through our Predictive Equipment Assessment (PEA) program.
