A frozen packaged-food room receives 20 t/day and holds 14 days at 6 m clear height.
280,000 kg ÷ 400 = 700 m³ net → 700 × 1.30 = 910 m³ gross → 910 ÷ 6 ≈ 152 m² floor → 910 ÷ 2.2 ≈ 414 Euro-pallet equivalents = 910 m³ (32,137 ft³), about 152 m² (1,636 ft²) and 414 pallet equivalents.
sizingNew frozen store for 500 EUR pallets, no existing fault.
500 × 3.2 = 1,600 m³ (56,500 ft³) → 1,600 ÷ 6 = 267 m² (2,870 ft²) → 1,600 × 32 ÷ 1000 = 51.2 kW base → 51.2 × 1.20 = 61.4 kW = ≈ 61.4 kW required duty (≈ 17.5 TR · 209,600 BTU/h). With 'plant older than 12 years' (+20%) it becomes ≈ 73.7 kW.
sizingA 5,000 m² (53,820 ft²) distribution centre with 12 m (39.4 ft) clear height and selective racking.
Rack levels = floor((12 − 1.5) ÷ 1.65) = 6 → Effective area = 5,000 ÷ 1.35 ≈ 3,704 m² → Positions ≈ 3,704 × 0.95 × 0.55 × 6 × 0.85 ≈ 9,875 → Annual throughput ≈ 9,875 × 18 = 177,750 pallets = About 9,875 pallet positions and 177,750 pallets per year of throughput.
sizingFrozen cold store growing from 10,000 to 18,000 pallets, inbound 220 → 380 pallets/day, 6 doors, 800 kW installed.
18,000 × 0.075 = 1,350 kW → 380 × 0.85 = 323 kW → 6 × 1.727 × 6 = 62 kW → Peak = 1,735 kW · gap = 935 kW · utilisation 217% = New peak ≈ 1,735 kW (≈ 493 TR · 5.9 million BTU/h) — plant upsizing or a second plant is very likely required.
sizingA 2,000 m³ frozen room in a hot/arid climate with a 20% safety factor.
Base = 2,000 × 38 ÷ 1,000 = 76.0 kW → Climate adjusted = 76.0 × 1.20 = 91.2 kW → Design = 91.2 × 1.20 = 109.44 kW = About 109 kW, 31.1 TR or 373,000 BTU/h.
dutyA 500 m² chilled room, 6 m high, receives 15,000 kg/day at 22 °C.
Transmission = 11.52 kW → Product pull-down = 12.50 kW → Infiltration = 3.74 kW; internal gains = 4.14 kW → Average load 31.90 × 24 ÷ 18 × 1.15 = 48.91 kW = 48.91 kW (13.91 TR), planning band 36.35–61.47 kW.
dutyA frozen-store doorway during a warm, humid operating day.
Air exchange = 0.22 × area × √(g × height × density difference) → Peak load × (1 − curtain effectiveness) → Average = peak × open seconds ÷ 86,400 = About 10.6 kW average added duty from door openings.
dutyPreliminary NH₃ compressor family for 150 kW at −30 °C evaporating and 40 °C condensing.
COP ≈ 3.1 × 60 ÷ 70 = 2.66 → Motor ≈ 150 ÷ 2.66 = 56.5 kW → Displacement ≈ 480 m³/h = About 56.5 kW motor input and a screw-compressor family — not a manufacturer selection.
dutyA 30 × 20 × 8 m frozen room at −20 °C in a 35 °C ambient uses PIR panels.
Thickness = 125 mm (4.92 in) → U = 0.022 ÷ 0.125 = 0.176 W/m²K → Envelope area = 2,000 m² → Heat gain = 0.176 × 2,000 × 55 ÷ 1000 = 19.4 kW = 125 mm panels with about 19.4 kW transmission heat gain.
duty600 kW frozen-storage plant in a warm climate (peak ~38 °C), 6,000 run hours.
CO₂ COP = 1.9 ÷ 1.12 = 1.70 → 354 kW → 2.12 GWh/yr → NH₃ COP = 1.9 ÷ 1.03 = 1.84 → 325 kW → 1.95 GWh/yr = Ammonia uses ≈ 8% less energy at this climate; in cool climates the CO₂ penalty disappears and the gap reverses.
dutyA 120 kW refrigeration plant with 25 kW auxiliaries needs 24-hour standby power and soft starting.
Running = 120 × 0.85 + 25 = 127 kW → Peak ≈ 146 kW → Generator = 146 ÷ 0.80 × 1.20 → 225 kVA → Fuel ≈ 906 L (239 US gal) = One 225 kVA generator and about 906 L of fuel for 24 hours.
dutyFreeze a 20 t (44,092 lb) fish batch to a −18 °C core in an air-blast tunnel.
20,000 × 290 = 5,800,000 kJ → 5,800,000 ÷ (8 × 3,600) ≈ 201 kW → 201 × 1.20 ≈ 242 kW = About 242 kW plant duty (68.8 TR · 826,000 BTU/h).
freezingAn IQF vegetable line freezes 2,000 kg/h for 16 hours/day with product entering at 15 °C.
2,000 ÷ 3,600 × 330 ≈ 183 kW → 183 × 1.30 ≈ 238 kW → 2,000 × 16 ÷ 1,000 = 32 t/day = About 238 kW for 32 t/day.
freezingWhitefish blocks, 30 t/day held 20 days at −25 °C, 7 m building, 35 °C ambient.
600,000 ÷ 480 = 1,250 m³ net → 1,250 ÷ 0.45 = 2,778 m³ gross (98,100 ft³); floor ≈ 463 m² (4,980 ft²) → 2,778 × 24 × 1.075 ÷ 1000 = 71.7 kW = ≈ 72 kW holding load (≈ 20 TR · 245,000 BTU/h) and ≈ 667 pallet positions.
freezingBeef carcass chilling, 15 t/day held 4 days, 5.5 m room, 32 °C ambient.
60,000 ÷ 200 = 300 m³ net → 750 m³ gross (26,500 ft³) → Rail = 60,000 ÷ 320 ≈ 188 m (615 ft) → Envelope = 750 × 45 × 1.04 ÷ 1000 = 35.1 kW → Product = 15,000 × 3.2 × 34 ÷ 72,000 = 22.7 kW = ≈ 57.8 kW chilling duty (≈ 16.4 TR · 197,000 BTU/h).
freezingMid-size supermarket on a transcritical CO₂ pack with doored chilled cabinets.
45 × 0.42 = 18.9 kW · 18 × 0.55 = 9.9 kW · 180 × 0.055 = 9.9 kW → Duty = 38.7 kW → pack 44.5 kW → 38.7 × 0.62 × 8,760 = 210,000 kWh / year = ≈ 44.5 kW pack (≈ 12.7 TR · 152,000 BTU/h) and ≈ 210 MWh of refrigeration electricity per year.
freezingA 5,000 m³ frozen store has 120 kW duty, COP 2.6, 8,000 h/year and 0.55 average load.
120 ÷ 2.6 = 46.15 kW → 46.15 × 8,000 × 0.55 ≈ 203,077 kWh/year → Energy ≈ USD 24,369; surcharge ≈ USD 3,655 = About USD 28,024 per year before taxes.
energyOne +2/+8 °C pharmaceutical room with 60 kW refrigeration duty at COP 2.8.
60 ÷ 2.8 = 21.43 kW → 21.43 × 8,000 × 0.70 = 120,000 kWh → 120,000 × 0.18 = USD 21,600 = USD 21,600 per year, USD 216,000 over ten years before escalation.
energy4,000 m³ frozen store in a warm climate with daily dispatch and a standard modern plant.
4,000 × 42 × 1.15 × 1.12 × 1.00 ÷ 1000 = 216 kW average → 216 × 8,760 = 1.90 million kWh / year → Multiply by your tariff for the power line = ≈ 1.9 GWh per year of refrigeration electricity (≈ 216 kW ≈ 61 TR average) before maintenance, monitoring and labour.
energyA retrofit requires USD 605,000 installed and produces USD 145,000 annual net benefit over ten years.
Simple payback = 605,000 ÷ 145,000 = 4.2 years → NPV discounts ten annual benefits at 10% = 4.2-year simple payback; read NPV and IRR on the live tool.
investmentRetrofit of a plant using 600,000 kWh/yr with a 22% improvement (the page's default inputs).
600,000 × 22% = 132,000 kWh → 19,800 /yr → Annual saving = 19,800 + 10,000 = 29,800 → Net investment = 240,000 + 18,000 = 258,000 → Payback = 258,000 ÷ 29,800 = 8.7 years = Simple payback ≈ 8.7 years; a grant or a higher improvement shortens it directly.
investmentSupplier A: 180 kW, COP 2.6, USD 420,000 CAPEX, USD 14,000/year maintenance, two downtime days.
180 ÷ 2.6 × 6,000 × 0.75 ≈ 311,538 kWh → Energy = USD 46,731/year → Operating = USD 76,731/year = 10-year TCO about USD 1.187 million for Supplier A.
investmentSupplier B quotes USD 780,000 for 420 kW but excludes civil, insulation and electrical scope.
Allowance = 1,050,000 × 0.33 = USD 346,500 → Comparable = 780,000 + 346,500 = USD 1,126,500 = Partial scope exposed and restated — the tool does not rank or recommend bidders.
investmentIllustrative financing of a USD 2,000,000 project with 15% down over seven years at 7.5%.
Down payment = USD 300,000 → Principal = USD 1,700,000 → Monthly ≈ USD 26,075 = About USD 2,490,306 total paid. ColdMatch does not lend; qualified projects may be introduced to independent financing partners.
investmentA freezer room does not reach −20 °C; 30 °C ambient, frequent door opening, heavily iced evaporator.
Door infiltration 6 + 2 × 3 = 12 → Defrost 5 + 1 × 3 = 8 → Condenser 4 + 0 = 4 = Infiltration first (High), defrost second (High), condenser third (Medium) — inspection priorities, not a diagnosis.
