Cold Storage Facilities – Thermal Shielding to Preserve Every Degree
Passive Cooling to Protect Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Cold storage units operate under tight thermal control, but external roof surfaces—especially in metal or concrete—absorb significant solar heat, putting extra load on refrigeration systems. This leads to higher energy consumption, equipment stress, and increased risk of temperature fluctuation, which can compromise stored goods like perishables, pharmaceuticals, or frozen food.
LuminX Solution: LuminX solar reflective roof coatings create an effective thermal barrier by reflecting solar radiation and preventing heat buildup at the roof level. By minimizing external heat gain, the insulation load is reduced, allowing your cooling systems to operate more efficiently.
Benefits for Cold Storage Units
- Lower roof surface temperatures by up to 25–30°C
- Reduce internal thermal load by 5–7°C aiding refrigeration stability
- Cut cooling energy consumption by up to 15–20%
- Extend the life of refrigeration systemsby reducing strain
- Suitable for retrofit on existing structures without downtime
- Helps maintain consistent product temperatures and avoid spoilage
Whether you store frozen foods, dairy, or temperature-sensitive chemicals, LuminX helps maintain thermal integrity—starting from the roof down.
