The only thing that is constant is change


(Heraclitus – 500 BCE)


With the UK cold storage sector at full capacity and a cacophony of calls to increase construction, to allay fears of supply chain disruption, refrigeration manufacturers have added responsibilities to ensure that the industrial refrigeration and climate control infrastructure they offer is fit for purpose.

he United Kingdom cold storage estate was estimated at approximately 24 million cubic metres in 2018 with the food and drink segment dominating. The pharmaceutical, life science and healthcare sector is also emerging as a significant force. Consequently, in 2018 responding to calls from the UK’s Pharmaceutical industries, Matt Hancock, health and social care secretary, stated that preparations were on track to ensure enough cold storage in the event of a no-deal Brexit. “I don’t accept the premise that it takes a year to put up refrigerated sheds. Not least because we can use storage that is already existing; that is part of our tendering. Also, we can convert space to medical storage standards, which currently isn’t,” he said. “It may be the case that someone has an example that it has taken a year, but you can do it quicker.” Dougie Stoddart, commercial director of Hubbard

Products, a Daikin Group company, explains: “The rush to create cold store capacity in haste doesn’t mean that specifiers and end users can abandon their further duties to long-term sustainability. The choice of sustainable refrigerant that can perform in high-demand chilling environments, the need to minimise energy consumption coupled with the ability to manage performance in real- time are considerations that every cold store operator, large or small, should be considering.” Hubbard Products addresses this exact need with a range of monoblock construction cold store units designed for easy installation into relocatable and static cold stores, including a ceiling-mounted high efficiency unit running on R290 refrigerant. The use of R290 is increasing due to its low environmental impact and excellent thermodynamic performance. It is non-toxic with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and a very low
