In Guangzhou, a vibrant city full of opportunities, various industries are booming, and the demand for constant temperature warehouses is increasing day by day. Whether it's the food, pharmaceutical, electronic component, or precision instrument industries, constant temperature warehouses play a vital role in ensuring that the quality and performance of products are not affected by environmental factors during storage. Drawing on its many years of professional experience in the purification field, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will analyze in detail the core points that should be emphasized when designing constant temperature warehouses in Guangzhou.
I. Climate and Environmental Factors
Guangzhou is located in the subtropical coastal area, with a hot and humid climate. The annual average temperature is relatively high, and the humidity is quite large. Especially during the long summer, the high-temperature and high-humidity climate conditions pose a severe challenge to the design of constant temperature warehouses. Therefore, great efforts must be made in the thermal insulation and moisture-proof design of the warehouse. High-quality thermal insulation materials, such as polyurethane foam boards and polystyrene foam boards, should be selected to conduct comprehensive thermal insulation treatment on the walls, roofs, and floors of the warehouse, effectively blocking the transfer of external heat and reducing the load on the indoor air-conditioning system. Meanwhile, a combination of moisture-proof layers and ventilation systems should be adopted to prevent moisture from accumulating inside the warehouse and avoid goods from getting damp, moldy, or deteriorating due to humidity problems.
II. Precise Temperature and Humidity Control
For constant temperature warehouses, precise control of temperature and humidity is a core requirement. Determine the appropriate temperature and humidity ranges according to the characteristics of the stored goods, and equip them with high-precision temperature and humidity sensors and intelligent control systems. For example, for pharmaceutical storage, the temperature is generally required to be controlled within 2 - 8 °C, and the relative humidity within 45% - 65%. While for electronic components, a more stringent temperature and humidity environment may be needed, such as a temperature of 20 ± 2 °C and a relative humidity of 50 ± 5%. The control system should be able to monitor the temperature and humidity data in the warehouse in real-time and automatically adjust the operating status of air-conditioning units, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, and other equipment according to the preset values to ensure that the temperature and humidity are always stable within the set ranges, thus providing a reliable storage environment for the goods.
III. Selection of Air-Conditioning and Ventilation Systems
Considering the climate characteristics of Guangzhou and the constant temperature requirements of the warehouse, the selection of the air-conditioning system is of crucial importance. Industrial air-conditioning units with sufficient cooling and heating capacities and high energy efficiency ratios should be selected to meet the cooling requirements in the hot summer and the possible heating requirements in the cold winter. Meanwhile, the ventilation system should ensure the even circulation of air inside the warehouse and avoid the occurrence of dead corners with uneven local temperatures or poor air circulation. Reasonably design the layout of ventilation ducts and the positions of air outlets so that fresh air can fully enter the warehouse, take away possible odors and harmful gases, and ensure that the goods are stored in fresh air.
IV. Goods Storage Layout and Shelf Design
Inside the warehouse, the goods storage layout and shelf design will also affect the constant temperature effect. Reasonably plan the storage areas of the goods, and divide them into different zones for storage according to the types of goods, the frequency of goods in and out, and their sensitivity to temperature and humidity. For goods with higher requirements for temperature and humidity, they should be placed in areas close to the air-conditioning outlets and temperature and humidity control equipment to ensure that they are in the best environmental conditions. When choosing shelves, their breathability and impact on air circulation should be considered to avoid hindering the normal circulation of air due to unreasonable shelf design and affecting the overall constant temperature effect.
V. Energy Saving and Environmental Protection Measures
With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, integrating energy-saving and environmental protection concepts into the design of constant temperature warehouses has become an inevitable trend. Adopt energy-saving equipment and technologies, such as inverter air conditioners, high-efficiency thermal insulation materials, and intelligent lighting systems, to reduce the energy consumption of the warehouse. Meanwhile, through a reasonable energy management system, conduct centralized control and optimized scheduling of air-conditioning, lighting, and other equipment to improve energy utilization efficiency. In addition, consider using natural energy, such as solar photovoltaic power generation to supply power to some equipment, reducing dependence on traditional energy sources and achieving the sustainable development of the warehouse.
VI. Fire Protection and Security Assurance
Safety is of the utmost importance in warehouse design. In addition to being equipped with complete fire protection facilities, such as fire alarms, automatic sprinkler systems, and fire extinguishers, it is also necessary to ensure that the electrical system of the warehouse is safe and reliable, preventing fires caused by electrical faults. In the design of the warehouse's building structure, it should comply with fire protection code requirements and adopt building materials with good fireproof performance. Meanwhile, set up reasonable evacuation passages and emergency exits to ensure that people can evacuate quickly and goods can be protected in time in case of emergencies.
In conclusion, designing constant temperature warehouses in Guangzhou requires comprehensive consideration of various factors, from dealing with the climate environment to precise temperature and humidity control, from equipment selection to goods layout, from energy-saving measures to security assurance.
