Free for buyers. Your request goes to the ColdMatch team, who review it and contact suitable suppliers on your behalf. Suppliers do not receive your details before that review.
ColdMatch facilitates sourcing and RFQs; it does not manufacture, sell, import or export the listed products and is not a regulatory authority. Suppliers are responsible for their products meeting the requirements of the origin and destination countries; buyers for import permissions, local rules and due diligence. Requirements vary by product and country, and the team checks requests before any supplier contact. Regulation and restricted items
Is this the right system for you?
Best fit when
- Temperatures must be recorded across rooms, vehicles or sites.
- Staff need alarms when limits are exceeded, including outside working hours.
Evaluate carefully when
- Wireless coverage inside insulated rooms or metal buildings is untested.
- Customers or regulators expect specific record formats or calibration documentation.
Operating context and compatibility
Confirm number and location of measuring points, alarm channels, data retention, calibration certificates and who receives and responds to alarms.
Maintenance, risks and compliance questions
Maintenance to plan for
- Follow the component maker's documented service schedule.
- Check compatibility before replacing parts on existing plant.
Risks to manage
- Parts that do not match the existing refrigerant or capacity.
- Missing documentation delaying installation or approval.
Compliance questions to raise
- Fire-performance requirements for panel cores in your market.
- Calibration documents for monitoring equipment.
ColdMatch does not certify equipment or guarantee compliance; requirements depend on your country and project, and your advisers and authorities decide what applies.
Components often specified with it
- Insulated sandwich panels
Wall, ceiling and floor panels with an insulating core between metal facings, used to build cold rooms and cold stores.
- Cold-room and high-speed doors
Hinged, sliding and high-speed insulated doors for cold rooms and cold-store openings, selected for traffic and temperature.
- Evaporators and unit air coolers
Fan-coil units that remove heat from the cold room or process area, matched to refrigerant, room temperature and air throw.
- Refrigeration controls and plant management
Controllers, valves and supervisory software that run refrigeration plant, defrost and fans and connect them to site management systems.
Sizing and specification questions
Answer these in your request so supplier offers are comparable.
- Number of measuring points and locations
- Alarm channels required (for example SMS, email, local alarm)
- Data retention and reporting needs
- Calibration documentation required
Unknown items can be left open — the ColdMatch team will ask before approaching suppliers.
Procurement decisions for components
- The existing system the component must fit, including refrigerant and capacity.
- Technical data sheets and documentation you need before ordering.
- Replacement, upgrade or new-build use.
- Delivery location, lead time and installation support.
Estimate it before you request quotes
Free planning calculators that answer the sizing, load or cost questions above. Results are estimates, not quotes; add them to your request so suppliers can check them.
- Cold storage reliability review
Gives compressor and pump redundancy, standby power, alarms, spares and response plan.
- Refrigeration redundancy planner
Gives N+1 or 2N refrigeration, backup power autonomy and hold time.
