Extruded plastic panels in cold rooms not only need to provide excellent thermal insulation, they must also have sufficient load-bearing capacity to support the goods and equipment inside the cold room. Selecting the right load-bearing capacity for extruded plastic panels involves the following aspects:
1. Compression strength of the extruded panels
The load-bearing capacity of an extruded plastic panel depends mainly on its compressive strength. Compression strength refers to the maximum pressure that an extruded plastic panel can withstand under certain conditions. Generally, extruded plastic panels for cold storage need to have high compression strength to cope with the load in the cold storage.
● Ordinary cold storage: Common compression strength is 200-300 kPa (kilopascals), which is suitable for most ordinary cold storage applications.
● Heavy duty cold rooms: For cold rooms with high load bearing requirements, extruded panels with a compression strength of 500 kPa or more may be required.
2. Panel thickness
The thickness of the extruded plastic sheet is also an important factor affecting its load-bearing capacity. The greater the thickness, the greater the load-bearing capacity. The thickness of extruded plastic board for cold storage is usually between 5-10 cm, which is selected according to the specific load-bearing requirements.
3. Cold storage design and load requirements
Type of cold storage: The design and purpose of the cold storage will affect the choice of extruded plastic sheet. For example, low-temperature cold storage and deep-cooling cold storage may require different sizes of extruded panels.
● Cargo loads: The type and distribution of cargo stored in the cold room will affect the load bearing requirements of the extruded panels. Heavy loads require higher compression strength panels. 4.
4. Quality of the extruded panels
Ensure that you choose a good quality extruded plastic panel. Products with a good brand reputation usually have a more stable performance. It is advisable to check the technical parameters and certification information of the product when selecting.
5. Professional consultation
As the design and use of cold storage requirements are more professional, it is best to consult the cold storage design engineers or experts in related fields to ensure that the selected extruded plastic can meet the actual use requirements.
To sum up, the selection of cold storage extrusion board should not only consider the thermal insulation performance, but also need to choose the appropriate compression strength and thickness according to the actual load-bearing requirements.
