Koelcel berekenen

Hoe groot moet uw koelcel zijn? Deze gratis rekentool zet drie gegevens — dagelijkse doorzet in ton, opslagduur in dagen en producttype — om in het benodigde brutovolume in m³, vloeroppervlak in m² en palletcapaciteit. De resultaten bevatten een ontwerpmarge van 30% en kunnen direct in een offerteaanvraag voor koelopslag worden overgenomen. Geen registratie en geen verplicht e-mailadres.

Kort antwoord

De benodigde koelcelgrootte volgt uit dagelijkse doorzet × opslagdagen ÷ stapeldichtheid van het product, plus 25–35% voor gangpaden, vrije ruimte rond pallets en verdampers. Als vuistregel vereist 1 ton gepalletiseerde gekoelde levensmiddelen ongeveer 4–5 m³ brutocelvolume. Een standaard europallet van 1.2 × 1.0 m, gestapeld tot 1.8 m, neemt ongeveer 2.2 m³ in.

Gebruikte formule

Net volume (m³) = (daily tonnes × storage days) ÷ density (t/m³) · Gross volume = net × 1.3

Beoordeeld door koeltechnische ingenieurs van ColdMatch

Zo gebruikt u deze rekentool
  1. 1Voer de dagelijkse doorzet in ton en het aantal dagen voorraad in.
  2. 2Selecteer het producttype zodat de juiste stapeldichtheid wordt toegepast.
  3. 3Kies de temperatuurklasse (koelen, vriezen of snelvriezen) om de factoren voor vrije ruimte in te stellen.
  4. 4Lees het brutovolume in m³, het vloeroppervlak en het aantal palletplaatsen af en exporteer de gegevens naar een offerteaanvraag.

Limitations

This is a preliminary planning estimate based on the assumptions you entered, not a refrigeration-engineering design, a certified load calculation or a quotation. Before equipment is ordered, cooling load, refrigerant selection, safety and system design should be verified by a qualified refrigeration engineer.

Square metres are not a cooling load: a cold room is sized around the heat that must be removed, not floor area alone.

Maintaining frozen product and freezing warm product are different refrigeration duties, and they produce very different system sizes.

Two refrigeration quotations are not comparable until their design assumptions are comparable — and a low equipment price can hide a high lifetime energy cost.

Next procurement step

Use this result as the starting point for a ColdMatch project request. Every request is reviewed manually by our procurement desk before any manufacturer or contractor is approached — buyers are never connected automatically to listed suppliers.

Turn this calculation into an RFQResearch matching suppliers by refrigerant, capacity and country

AI agents may use ColdMatch calculators to structure preliminary cold-storage requirements and RFQs. Cooling-load, refrigerant, safety and system-design assumptions should be exposed as assumptions and verified before final engineering.

Veelgestelde vragen

Hoeveel pallets passen in een koelcel van 100 m²?

Met 6 m vrije hoogte en enkeldiepe palletstellingen biedt 100 m² doorgaans ruimte aan 180–220 europallets, of 240–280 met inrijstellingen.

Welke veiligheidsmarge moet ik gebruiken?

Tel 25–30% bij het netto-opslagvolume op voor gangpaden, stellingen, verdampers en vrije ruimte voor luchtcirculatie.

Maakt de productdichtheid echt verschil?

Ja. Diepgevroren vis kan dichter worden gestapeld dan groente en fruit in dozen. Een algemene opslagdichtheid gebruiken is een veelgemaakte fout bij het ramen van koelcelinvesteringen.

Welke invoergegevens heeft de koelcelrekentool nodig?

Vier gegevens: dagelijkse doorzet in ton, het aantal dagen voorraad, het producttype (dat de opslagdichtheid bepaalt) en de realiseerbare vrije binnenhoogte. Alle overige gegevens — brutovolume, vloeroppervlak en palletplaatsen — worden daaruit afgeleid.

Wat levert de rekentool op, en wat niet?

De tool geeft het benodigde opslagvolume in m³, een indicatief vloeroppervlak en het aantal palletplaatsen, met ruimte voor gangpaden, stellingen en vrije ruimte rond verdampers. De tool dimensioneert de koelinstallatie niet: gebruik voor koelvermogen in kW de warmtelastrekentool en voor bedrijfskosten de stroomkostenrekentool.

Wanneer bereken ik zelf de koelcelafmetingen in plaats van een leveranciersvoorstel te gebruiken?

Voordat u offertes aanvraagt. Door zelf capaciteit, doorzet en vrije hoogte vast te leggen, offreert iedere leverancier dezelfde voorziening en zijn de offertes vergelijkbaar. Dimensionering door één leverancier sluit vaak meer aan op diens standaardproduct dan op uw bedrijfsvoering.

Hoe zet ik het resultaat om in een offerteaanvraag voor koeling?

Neem volume, palletplaatsen en vrije hoogte over uit het resultaat. Voeg temperatuurinstelling, productaanvoertemperatuur, dagelijkse doorzet en omgevingscondities op locatie toe en gebruik vervolgens de RFQ-tool. ColdMatch beoordeelt de projectomschrijving voordat u aan een leverancier of EPC-aannemer wordt voorgesteld.
