Voor veel bedrijven is de koel- of vriesopslag cruciaal voor de dagelijkse operatie. Hier wordt de voorraad bewaard die onder een constante temperatuur moeten blijven. Zelfs kleine temperatuurveranderingen kunnen al leiden tot kwaliteitsverlies of bederf van producten. Denk hierbij aan voedsel, farmaceutische producten, bloemen en chemicaliën.
So it is very important that the cooling system always functions optimally. But did you know that high outdoor temperatures put a heavy load on the cooling system? This reduces the performance of your refrigeration system. The temperature in the storage area can slowly rise, often without you noticing it right away. This can have a major impact on the quality and safety of stored goods.
Why constant constant temperature is crucial
Many products depend on a stable temperature to ensure their quality, safety and shelf life:
- Foods: such as meat, fish, dairy, AGF, ready meals
- Pharmaceuticals: such as vaccines, medication, laboratory samples
- Flowers and plants: vulnerable to dehydration and ripening processes
- Chemicals: such as solvents, resins, laboratory products
When the temperature goes beyond the norm, even for a short time, it can already lead to spoilage, shortened shelf life or loss of quality grade. With food and pharmaceutical products, the requirements are strict. If the temperature has been too high, the batch often has to be rejected. This not only costs money, but can also damage reputation or even have legal consequences.
More load at high temperatures
On hot days, when the need for cooling is greatest, the cooling plant comes under extra pressure. The chiller uses the warm air to cool. The warmer the outside air, the harder the condenser has to work to remove the heat. This can have several consequences:
- Reduced performance of the cooling system
- Increased energy consumption
- Faster wear and tear
- Greater risk of malfunctions or even breakdowns
Precisely at the times when you need the cooling system the most, the risk of problems increases.
Adiabatic pre-cooling provides the solution
Adiabatic pre-cooling produces fine atomisation, cooling the incoming air before it reaches the condenser. As a result, the condenser requires less energy to bring the incoming air to the desired temperature. The pressure in your refrigeration system is lower as a result. This keeps your refrigeration system working optimally, regardless of the outside temperature.
Adiabatic pre-cooling has the following advantages:
- Lower pressure in the cooling system
- Less energy consumption
- Lower risk of overheating and malfunctions
- Constant cooling performance, even at high temperatures
- Greater cooling capacity
The system can be retrofitted in most cases. In addition, the payback period is often less than a year.
With adiabatic pre-cooling, your refrigeration system continues to perform efficiently even at high outdoor temperatures. This keeps the temperature in your refrigeration or freezer storage stable and prevents spoilage or loss of quality.

Schedule a consultation with one of our experts. Together with you, we will find the right solution for your storage.
Prevent breakdown of your cooling system
High temperatures stress your cooling system, increasing pressure. This causes poorer performance, higher energy consumption and increased wear and tear. The pressure can even get so high that the cooling system shuts down. The temperature in your cold or freezer storage will then slowly rise, which can cause spoilage and loss of quality.
Prevent problems with your refrigeration system with adiabatic pre-cooling. This way, you will keep your cold storage or freezer storage optimal.
