Customer Challenges: Meeting Diverse Temperature-Controlled Storage Requirements
The wine industry requires strict environmental control during storage and logistics operations. Different products require different temperature conditions, creating several challenges:
Multiple Temperature Zones
Finished wine products, grape juice, and fresh food materials require different storage temperatures. The facility needed a flexible refrigeration system capable of supporting multiple temperature zones.
Stable Temperature Performance
Wine and agricultural products require long-term stable storage conditions to maintain product quality and reduce losses caused by temperature fluctuations.
Energy-Efficient Refrigeration Operation
Large-scale cold storage facilities require refrigeration systems with high efficiency and reliability to reduce operating costs while maintaining continuous cooling performance.
Zhuku Cold Storage Refrigeration Solution: Integrated Refrigeration System Design
Based on customer requirements, Zhuku designed a customized refrigeration solution consisting of multiple temperature-controlled storage rooms and efficient refrigeration equipment.
The central warehouse includes 7 cold storage rooms, divided into two main refrigeration zones.
Cold Storage Area Design
Finished Wine Storage Area4 Cold Rooms | 1,400 m²The finished wine storage area is mainly used for:
Refrigeration Configuration
-10℃ / 32℃ The system provides stable cooling performance suitable for long-term wine storage. |
Variable Temperature Storage Area3 Cold Rooms | 1,200 m²The variable temperature storage area is designed for:
Refrigeration Configuration
-28℃ / 32℃ The system supports low-temperature storage requirements while maintaining energy-efficient operation. |
Advanced Dual Temperature Refrigeration Technology
One Rack, Two Temperature Systems
To improve equipment utilization and operational efficiency, Zhuku adopted an innovative refrigeration architecture.
The -10℃ system and -28℃ system share the same compressor rack, with a common high-pressure side and dual suction configuration.
