TYPES OF COLD STORAGE FACILITIES
1. Refrigerated warehouses generally have a single function of storing previously processed or frozen food at a constant temperature between -40C (-40F) and 10C (50F). They are often one room buildings. Packaged goods are stored on pallets or food racks.
2. Processing plants for meats, poultry, dairy or other food products are multi-functional type structures which are quite complex. They typically consist of many rooms, each with a certain func- tion, operating temperature and humidity condition.
3. Distribution centers are multi-room build- ings for packaged dry goods, frozen foods, fresh produce, baked goods and dairy prod- ucts. In addition to the above, these centers may contain specialty rooms such as banana rooms or ice cream holding rooms.
4. Existing facilities may be converted to an- other use, i.e., a cooler may be converted to a freezer, or a new room may be added within an existing structure.
