Industrial Refrigeration Engineering: Governing Standards for Warehouses
Cold rooms require precise calculations for transmission, product, and infiltration loads (during door operation), as well as internal loads. Insulated panels with thicknesses starting from 120 mm must be used for deep freezers to ensure thermal resistance. Furthermore, it is essential to implement advanced floor insulation (using ventilation networks or heaters) to prevent soil heave caused by constant freezing, thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the warehouse.
Saudi Building Code (SBC 601): Quality and Sustainability Standards
The Energy Conservation Code imposes strict standards for the Coefficient of Performance (COP) and Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of equipment. We ensure that all equipment complies with the code's schedules and is certified by SASO to avoid any rejection by municipal authorities. We also focus on Duct insulation standards and conduct air leakage testing in accordance with SMACNA, ensuring that every watt of electricity consumed is effectively converted into thermal comfort.
