I140 Cold Storage Doors
Freeze Secure
The design stage of a cold storage space incorporates numerous decisions that need to be made with precision. There are several factors that need to be taken into consideration; such as temperature differences between adjacent and/or adjoining spaces, cooling and humidity control system specifications, space dimensions, logistic flow, corridor design, lighting, cleaning and care, drainage, nature of stored goods and doors.
With a broad understanding of industry requirements, Luciddoor design engineers introduce the Lucid I140F and Lucid I140C to optimally address the specific demands of freezer and chiller spaces, respectively. The Lucid I140F and Lucid I140C are designed to satisfy the precise specifications in such spaces while allowing smooth traffic flow and minimizing ice and frost buildup.

Selecting the proper doors for a cold storage space requires well defined specifications regarding the following:
•Temperature difference between adjacent and/or adjoining spaces,
•Daily opening and closing frequency of the door system,
•The presence or absence of a bottleneck,
•Pressure difference between adjoining spaces,
•Cleaning procedure and compatible door system material,
•Defrosting procedure,
•Activators,
•Safety devices required.
Typically, atmospheric conditions and workflow around a cold storage area dictates the
deployment of airlocks created by at least two doors operating in tandem. An airlock constituted by two doors facilitates maintaining temperature and pressure differences between spaces before and after the airlock. The transporter would enter the airlock through the first door, causing a fluctuation of atmospheric conditions in the airlock. By the time the transporter reaches the second door, the first door would have been closed, and the air conditioning system would ideally have rectified the atmospheric conditions inside the airlock; thus, successfully segregating atmospheric conditions on either side of the airlock. The deployment of an air lock reduces the risk of icing and generates energy savings. An airlock may also be employed as a security feature.
