Coldroom
TESCOOL Commercial Cold Room
The design and construction of commercial cold rooms using modular assembly is one of our fields of expertise. We are known internationally for the quality and scale of our cold rooms. We have worked within every sector of industry that requires cold room facilities including the automotive and food industries, pharmaceutical and research industries as well as the public services sector. Whatever you need, you can use our insulated panel products from the smallest project to the largest. From a small Chiller or freezer to the big industrial cool rooms. Tescool supply cool room panels, fixtures, fittings and sealants, we can also build and specify your project. We can assist you from inception to completion. Once specified we then supply the insulated panels, fixtures and fittings to these exact specifications. And, if you wish, we can supply and build your cool room, cold room or other structure using one of our experienced installation teams. Our commercial refrigeration units are flat packed for easy handling and transport, and come complete with all accessories including doors, refrigerator drop in unit motors and compressors.
Modular Panels
TESCOOL panels are produced with the foamed-in-place process, where two chemicals are injected under pressure between two metal skins to form Polyurethane insulation panels. Chemical reaction produces high heat and high pressure during curing. Pressure of over 500 tons is applied to the panel resulting in high structural strength, high density and thus high insulation value of the Polyurethane panel. TESCOOL panels come in standard size but can be custom designed to fit your available space and your requirements.
Panels are manufactured in sections and assembled at worksite like putting together pieces of puzzle. Panel width 400 to 1200mm, with length of 400 to 7000 mm. Ceiling, wall and floor are latched together using eccentric locks. Tongue and groove with Polyethylene gasket joint ensures that the installation is completely airtight. Butt joints panels are available on request.
Mental Finish and Thickness
TESCOOL panels are available with many types of metal finish to suit your job requirement, ranging from stainless steel, Color bond steel, Galvanized steel, Zincalume steel and Stucco aluminum. Metal finish is grooved every 5 inches to increase the structural strength and improve the look. Each panel is coated with scratch proof PVC film which protects panels finish during transportation and installation. The film can be peeled off after installation.
Polyurethane panel thickness is available from 60mm. to150mm. Table below shows TESCOOL panel thickness with corresponding specification. TESCOOL polyurethane panels are injected with blowing agent with low ODP (comply with Montreal Convention) and exceed UL 94 fire retardant standard. We regularly monitor and test our product, by independent laboratory, to ascertain that it meets our high standard.

Standard Cold room Floor
TESCOOL offers different configurations for cold room floor. We can design or give recommendation for your specific application. Slip guard patterned aluminum checker plate is recommended for most cold room application where only foot traffic presents. Aluminum checkered plate floor is composed of polyurethane floor panel with GI steel sheet finish topped with 1.5 mm aluminum checker plate.
In application where trolleys are used, a 6 mm. Flexi Board is installed below the metal skin for reinforcement. Maximum weight permit is 500 kgs on four rubberized wheels. While the maximum stationary load for TESCOOL cold room floor is 3,000 kgs./sq. m. (614 lbs./sq. ft.).
Eccentric Lock
Eccentric lock is custom designed and manufactured to our specification. It is made from high impact ABS plastic with rust resistance GI steel. During the foamed-in-place process, the locks are embedded every 800mm. for the flat wall panels and every 400 mm. for corner joints panels. During the installation, a hexagon Allen key is used to latch the male and female eccentric locks together. The locking action is in two steps, firstly to latch the locks and secondly pulling the panels together to form a tight seal, preventing cold air to escape from the cold room. After the latching process a flush PVC cap is used to close the hexagon key access hole.
Standard Cold Room Door
TESCOOL hinged door is integrated into our standard wall panel. Our standard door size is 900 x 1900 mm. and 1000 x 2000 mm. The door comes complete with a door latch, a keyed cylinder lock, a safety door release from inside, self-closing mechanism, hydraulic door closer. The spring action integrated into the door hinge closes the door by itself if it is left open less than 90 degree. The hydraulic door closure latches the door tightly to prevent any cold air leakage.
Water proof light switch with vapor proof interior light is included. Door finish and Polyurethane insulation thickness are the same material and thickness used for the wall panel. Heater wires installed in the door frame to prevent condensation. For Freezer room, easily replaceable heater wire is also embedded into the door leaf. Other options available are viewing windows, kick plate, and door ramp.
Sliding door is also available. TESCOOL doors use heavy duty hardware which has been field tested and improved upon. Different models are available depending on applications. For larger doors, heavy duty door frame is available to support the weight of the sliding door. Automatic and electric doors can be ordered as option for heavy traffic cold rooms.
Refrigeration System
TESCOOL cold room system has been through field tested. It has been improved upon based feedback from technicians and customer. Our stringent QC department, using sophisticated testing equipment assures that the system will work well according to specification. With reasonable care, the system will give you years of trouble free service.
TESCOOL system offers wide range of cold room system for your different operating requirements. We offer both Hermetic and Semi hermetic systems, operating on non-CFC or R-22 refrigerant. The unit is available with both air cooled and water cooled. Marine upgrade is available to minimize effect from salt for seaside installation. The system requires three phase 50 Hertz power supply, with 60 Hertz voltage as option available. TESCOOL refrigeration system is also equipped with phase detector to protect it from fluctuation voltage supply. There are many other built-in safety functions to assure that our system is well protected from unstable power supply. Delay circuit is built-in to delay the compressor start up after a shut down.
Condensing units can be installed remotely. Standard length is not more than 20 m. from the evaporator unit. For distance longer than 20 m. we may need to increase the pipe size or increase the compressor capacity. Multiple compressors can be connected together in a rack system, providing more efficiency and system back up.
We design and manufacture our own evaporator coil. The aluminum fins are coated for easy cleaning. After fully tested for leakage, high pressure nitrogen gas is sealed in the coils during storage. Any undetected leakage will be evident when the coil is unsealed during the system assembly.
Controller
Controller Box is installed in front of the cold room. Many options are available, for example, remote monitoring and controlling system, where all systems can be monitored, controlled and diagnosed remotely from the control room or from another part of the world through internet connection.
