Cold Rooms

Estes’ cold rooms are engineered to specification and extensively tested to meet required performance.

Most cold rooms are designed to maintain a +4°C steady state temperature and 50% RH with the ability to set at custom temperature and humidity ranges based upon customer requirements.

Our cold rooms can be designed to almost any shape and size.

Multi-temp/RH Rooms

Our temperature and humidity controlled rooms range from -40°C up to +100°C. With special insulated panel construction, we can reach temperatures of up to +125°C. Our control stability is +0.5°C or better.

Typical humidity ranges are from less 1% RH to 95% RH with temperatures of -40°C to +100°. Estes can also provide customized desiccant drier systems to achieve and control sub-freezing humidity levels as low as -60°C Dew Point Temperature.

Controls (HMI Touchscreens and PLC Controls)

The HMI (Human Machine Interface) is used as an operator control panel instead of an excessive amount of hardware. The HMI brings together all of the displays and functions needed to view real-time controls and monitor your refrigeration and humidity control systems.

Estes cold, warm, and freezer rooms come standard with the Estes flush mount HMI, providing the following benefits over standard controls and the old technology chart recorder:

HMI Features

Alarms

Displays a list of current alarms with names; including high temp, low temp, and compressor failed to run alarms

Records comprehensive alarm history

Compressor Status

Displays on/off status of compressor

Displays solenoid valve status

Cycle time counter

Defrost

Adjustable times and duration

Automatic and manual on demand
