Summary

Factors governing energy costs in the operation of refrigerated warehouses are discussed. Electrical demand must be controlled to achieve the cheapest rates within the conditions of the electrical supply contract. Cold store layout should be designed for logical storage of material between different temperature zones. Refrigeration demand is kept low not only by using the optimum thickness of insulation but by equal attention to water vapour inflow and air infiltration. Equipment choice is also crucial, together with good maintenance.
