Ending Energy Leakage in Cold Room Doors: 5 Critical Tips to Lower Operating Costs

Ending Energy Leakage in Cold Room Doors: 5 Critical Tips to Lower Operating Costs

The efficiency of a cold storage facility is measured not just by the power of the cooling unit, but by how well you retain that cold air. Doors are the most active and vulnerable points for thermal loss. Here are 5 points to consider for maximum energy savings:

1. Break Thermal Bridges with PUR Insulation: The insulation material used in door blades is vital. In Karsey Industry doors, we inject 42 (±2) kg/m³ density polyurethane (PUR) to completely eliminate thermal bridges.

2. EPDM Quality in Sealing: When a door is closed, it must completely disconnect from the external atmosphere. Double-row special EPDM gasket systems prevent air leaks by maintaining elasticity for years.

3. Selection Based on Traffic Flow: For doors that open frequently during the day, sliding systems should be preferred. Since manual doors stay open longer, thermal loss increases.

4. Threshold Heaters and Frost Prevention: In sub-zero rooms, frozen gaskets sticking to the frame damage the seal and prevent full closure. Properly placed threshold heaters prevent this loss.

5. Precision Installation and Calibration: A door that is not installed perfectly level will leak air, regardless of its quality. Installations performed by our expert technical team guarantee maximum airtightness.
