Külmjaama

Külmjaama, also known as a cold storage facility, is a specialized building or structure designed to store perishable goods at low temperatures to maintain their quality and extend their shelf life. These facilities are commonly used in the food industry to preserve fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products, and other perishable items. Külmjaama typically operate at temperatures ranging from -18°C to -24°C (-0.4°F to -11.2°F), which slows down the metabolic processes of the stored goods, preventing spoilage and preserving their nutritional value.

The construction of a külmjaama involves the use of insulated walls, floors, and roofs to minimize heat transfer and maintain the desired low temperatures. The facilities are equipped with advanced refrigeration systems, including compressors, evaporators, and condensers, which work together to circulate a refrigerant and remove heat from the storage area. Additionally, külmjaama may include humidity control systems to regulate the moisture levels within the storage environment.

Külmjaama are essential for the efficient distribution and supply of fresh produce and other perishable goods, ensuring that they reach consumers in good condition. They play a crucial role in the food supply chain, helping to reduce food waste and support sustainable agriculture practices. The design and operation of külmjaama are subject to strict regulations and standards to ensure the safety and quality of the stored products.
