Refrigeration project brief for Botswana
ColdMatch is a procurement and project-sourcing platform — we review your brief, prepare an RFQ and introduce independent suppliers and EPC contractors. We do not manufacture, install, commission, operate, guarantee or finance equipment. Use this brief to scope a commercial or industrial project before you approach the market.
Design for roughly 35–40 °C dry-bulb summer ambient (semi-arid interior climate) with low humidity and large day–night temperature swings.
Typical demand segments
- Beef and livestock processing and export cold chain
- Horticulture and fresh produce distribution around Gaborone and Francistown
- Imported food and retail distribution
- Pharmaceutical and vaccine cold chain
- Mining-sector camp and logistics catering supply
Temperature zones
| Zone | Range | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Chilled | 0…+4 °C | Meat, dairy, fresh produce distribution |
| Frozen | −18…−25 °C | Frozen meat and food distribution |
| Blast freezing (process) | −30…−40 °C | Beef carcass and cut chilling/freezing for export |
| Pharma 2–8 °C | +2…+8 °C | Vaccine and pharmaceutical cold chain |
Recommended system options
Independent suppliers will propose the system that fits your throughput, budget and site — these are the option families most often specified for this market.
Small to mid-size distribution and retail cold rooms in Gaborone, Francistown and secondary towns
Larger beef-processing and export cold-chain facilities where efficiency and duty cycle justify a central plant
Mid-to-large multi-temperature distribution centres wanting a lower-GWP refrigerant strategy
Sites wanting to recover summer capacity in the semi-arid high-ambient interior climate, where dry conditions favour evaporative cooling
Power, grid & backup
- Three-phase 400 V / 50 Hz supply via the Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) is the planning baseline
- Standby generation sized to full refrigeration load is typically specified for beef-export and pharma cold chain given grid distance in some regions
- Botswana's high solar irradiance makes solar PV hybridisation a common consideration for offsetting daytime compressor load, subject to project economics
Compliance & authorities
Confirm current requirements directly with each authority; ColdMatch does not certify compliance and this is not legal advice.
What to include in your RFQ brief
- Product(s) to be stored or processed and required shelf life
- Temperature zone(s) required (chilled, frozen, deep-freeze, dual-temp)
- Peak and average throughput (tonnes/day or pallets/day in and out)
- Site location, available plot size and any existing structure
- Site power supply — voltage, phases, connected capacity, grid reliability
- Whether standby generation or renewable hybrid supply is required
- Target commissioning date and any seasonal deadline (harvest, fishing season, etc.)
- Preferred delivery model — turnkey EPC (single contract) or multi-supplier procurement
- Compliance/permit requirements already known (ozone unit registration, food-safety, pharma GDP)
- Budget range and whether financing or leasing is being considered

Get this reviewed — start an RFQFrequently asked questions
What design ambient should a Botswana cold store be engineered for?
Botswana's semi-arid interior climate is typically engineered around 35–40 °C dry-bulb summer ambient with low humidity, which favours evaporative or adiabatic condenser assistance where dry conditions allow effective water evaporation.
Which refrigeration systems suit Botswana's beef and export cold chain?
Ammonia central plants with low-charge packaging are commonly used on larger beef-processing and export facilities given duty cycle and efficiency requirements, while packaged condensing units on low-GWP blends suit smaller distribution and retail cold rooms. CO₂ transcritical is also used on mid-to-large multi-temperature sites. ColdMatch collects independent supplier proposals so the right system is chosen for your throughput and budget.
Which authorities are typically involved in a Botswana cold storage project?
Refrigerant and ozone-related matters generally sit with the Department of Environmental Affairs/Meteorological Services ozone office; pharmaceutical compliance with BoMRA; product and equipment standards with BOBS; and grid connection with BPC. Confirm current requirements directly with each authority.
Does ColdMatch install cold storage equipment in Botswana?
No. ColdMatch reviews project briefs, prepares RFQs and introduces independent suppliers and EPC contractors. We do not manufacture, install, commission, operate, guarantee or finance equipment; the buyer contracts directly with the supplier they choose.
What should a Botswana cold chain RFQ include?
Product and throughput (including whether beef-export blast freezing is required), temperature zone(s), site location and power supply/backup plan, target commissioning date, preferred delivery model (turnkey EPC or multi-supplier) and known compliance requirements. See the RFQ checklist above.
