Valley Engineering offer the complete cold store design and construction package to meet the requirements of all types of temperature controlled environments. Cold stores available in all sizes and to control to a broad temperature spectrum. Valley Engineering construct cold stores tailored to meet the needs of the individual application and offer maintenance and after sales service to ensure your cold store is performing as efficiently as possible.

Valley Engineering have designed and developed cold stores from 50m3 to 20,000m3 matching size to refrigeration requirements whilst still working with efficiency and cost in mind. Cold store construction can effect your efficiency, product shelf life and even insurance premiums so getting it right first time is a must. With an extensive knowledge of insulation and refrigeration techniques Valley Engineering trained personnel are able to produce temperature control from minus 30º C to plus 6º C on time, to specification, whilst considering all other effecting aspects. Experienced in refit and refurbishment of existing cold stores has made Valley Engineering adept at minimising the effects of this type of project on production.

We have extensive experience in using using Glycol as a cooling medium for our cold store cooling giving a number of advantages.

1. No high-pressure refrigerant pipe work beyond the plant room, reducing the risk of leaks in cold store significantly.

2. Allows the use of different types of refrigerant in the cold storage plant.

3. Increases efficiently due to better performance refrigerant, particularly ammonia.

4. Better use of coolers due to more uniform temperature of cooling surface.

5. Increase life expectancy of coolers as no defrost cycle is required.
