Cold Room

A refrigerating chamber or cold room is a warehouse in which a specific temperature is artificially generated. It is generally designed for storing products in an environment below the outside temperature. Products that need refrigeration include fruits, vegetables, seafood, meat, flowers.The term Cold room, as generic as the name may sound, refers to a specially built room, chamber or an enclosure that is well-insulated or lagged so as to prevent direct thermal flow out of the room.Cold Rooms are designed to control temperature and humidity. They can be used for the growth of cells and organism storage but can also be used for general chemistry and biology. They typically are prefabricated metal boxes that have closed air circulation.Cold Rooms, also referred to as Catinas or Root Cellars, are a room, located in the basement or under the front porch, that as the name suggests, has a lower temperature than the rest of the house.
