Frequent deliveries in summer repeatedly introduced warm outdoor air, continuously increasing the refrigeration load.
Frequent unit-cooler defrost cycles leaked heater heat into storage, extending the time needed to return to the target temperature.
Insufficiently low temperatures threatened frozen-food storage stability and could cause long-term quality and operational risks.
During defrosting, the cooler was enclosed within a separate pocket to prevent heater heat from spreading into storage.
Blocking cold-air entry and concentrating heat around the defrosting area accelerated frost removal and shortened defrost time.
Reduced defrost heat losses and recovery refrigeration load improved the existing system’s ability to maintain temperature without adding coolers.
The fabric was selected for repeated exposure to extreme cold and defrost temperature changes, remaining stable below −40°C.
Containing heat shortened frost-removal time from 40 to 32 minutes and improved defrost efficiency.
Lower defrost losses and recovery load improved the existing system’s temperature-maintenance performance without equipment expansion.
Shorter recovery delays and fewer temperature rises reduced the risk of frozen-food quality loss and improved operational stability.
