An efficient cold chain with air curtains

Eliminate ice formation and ensure quality thanks to our unique air curtains

Our customer, a food distribution company, encountered a common problem in their cold storage warehouses: ice formation on the loading docks. The facility in question has a warehouse for storing frozen food with direct delivery via a refrigerated docking station to the truck. Since the seals at the loading dock were not tight, the cold was lost, warm and humid air was entering. This led to significant ice formation on the warehouse roof and posed a potential safety hazard.

The solution to the challenge

To face the challenge, we created a tailor-made solution with an air curtain, equipped with an air curtain and an electric heating coil. This horizontal installation at the docking station created an effective barrier between the cold storage and the truck.

The air curtain ensures that the air flow minimizes temperature changes and prevents the ingress of moisture. The mild heated air from the heating coil absorbs the moisture directly, preventing the air from precipitating as fog, snow and ice. This solution significantly reduced ice formation.

Results

After the successful test on one of the loading bays in the facility, the other refrigerated truck docking stations were equipped with the same solution.

They have a minimum efficiency of 65%.
