The domestic refrigeration market is very large, and the scope of the refrigeration industry is also very wide. It is very sophisticated, national defense, chemical production, animal husbandry, aquatic fisheries, meat processing, food, fruit and vegetable processing, small dishes and millions of households, daily life, almost nothing. . With the advancement of science and technology and the development of the refrigeration industry, what is the trend of the cold storage in the future?

From "warehousing" to "cold-chain logistics distribution"

At present, China's complete and independent cold chain system has not yet been formed and its degree of marketization is relatively low. Refrigerated and refrigerated enterprises can be transformed into the distribution centers of supermarket chains in a conditional manner, forming a joint business model of refrigerated enterprises, supermarkets, and chain stores. Establish a food refrigeration supply chain, which will purchase, process, store, transport, and sell perishable and fresh foods from the place of production until all aspects of consumers are in a standard low-temperature environment to ensure food quality and reduce unnecessary Loss, prevent food spoilage and pollution.

At the same time, according to the city's logistics development plan to adjust the existing cold storage layout, build a new food cold chain logistics distribution system in various regions. In the future, the construction of cold chain logistics distribution centers in cities will all leave the downtown area, and will be built on convenient and fast transportation facilities (roads, railways, waterways) in accordance with the city's logistics development plans and road network.

From small to medium scale, China’s demand for agricultural products continues to grow, and agricultural technology continues to update. This has also played a significant role in the deep processing of agricultural products and food, and the corresponding refrigeration and cold storage market has also risen. For example, in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hubei and Henan, the demand for the cold storage market has been increasing year by year, and the scale has been continuously expanding. The demand for cold storage at important transportation ports also shows a large increase. Especially in the food production and processing and storage, the application of the new cold storage mode is also increasing year by year.

People in the industry believe that the design and construction of cold storage should be in line with the function and positioning of cold storage. The future large-scale regional cryogenic logistics cold storage will become the mainstream and gradually replace small-scale cold storages with small scale, high energy consumption, poor management, and low efficiency.

China's cold storage construction is closely related to the development of agricultural products. Farming and grouping operations are highly anticipated in the future, which will inevitably promote the scale of cold storage. If the front end of the cold storage is balanced in the future, the cold storage profits will definitely decline.

From a single approach to a combination of cold storage from the market for cold storage demand trends, China's existing cold storage capacity is still very inadequate. All types of cold storage in China, regardless of their size or function, were built according to the mode of civil engineering in the past. At present, this model still occupies a dominant position. This kind of building structure is irrational and does not apply to the modern cold chain operation mode. It must be carried out. The reconstruction of cold storage resources and the construction of new cold storage.

With regard to the future development of China's cold storage, it is possible to refer to and learn from the existing operating modes and development paths of foreign cold storage. There are many public refrigerated warehouses in foreign countries. Users use the form of leasing. The scale expansion of cold storage construction can effectively save costs. Therefore, a large integrated cold store is an inevitable trend for the future development of cold storage equipment in China.

From ordinary type to energy-saving safety type, safety accidents such as fire caused by cold storage and leakage of ammonia have emerged in an endless stream. People have also raised a new height of concern regarding the layout of refrigeration industry and potential safety hazards. To enable companies to change their security status in the short term, the government Support must be given in terms of policies, funding, and technology. Cold storage should be maintained as a social infrastructure. At the same time, government departments at all levels must also quickly promote the restructuring of enterprises. Enterprises themselves must also adapt to current market requirements, promote transformation and upgrading, and provide more reliable products and technologies. In addition, the state implements energy conservation and environmental protection policies, and the people’s ideological consciousness is continuously improving. The concept of “energy saving” and “green” are increasingly valued, and products with energy-saving and emission-reducing environmental protection are favored on the market.

The construction of cold storage should pay attention to energy conservation, use energy-saving design, use high-energy-saving refrigeration equipment, and implement energy-saving management during cold storage operations. High-end cold storage can use the IEMC integrated energy management system to save energy and reduce consumption. The effect is obvious. On the cold storage environment. The Freon refrigerants that have already been eliminated in the air-conditioning industry are still being used in some small cold storage facilities. They have caused serious damage to the environment and are inconsistent with the national energy-saving and emission reduction development targets. The developed countries in Europe and America have already applied CO2 as their representative. Environmental protection refrigerants. In the future, the construction of cold storage in China should vigorously promote the application of environmentally friendly refrigerants in order to realize the simultaneous development of economic benefits and social benefits.
