Cold Storage
Built for cold storage durability
Cold storage environments, such as frozen food warehouses and refrigerated logistics centers, present unique fire protection challenges. These facilities depend on uninterrupted operations, and protection of goods. However, constant exposure to moisture, humidity, condensation, temperature fluctuations, and aggressive cleaning agents are part of daily operations. They can accelerate corrosion and compromise system reliability. In these demanding conditions, corrosion-resistant fire protection solutions are essential.
Viking offers a comprehensive portfolio of fire protection solutions specifically designed for cold storage applications. As the only manufacturer to offer a K25 Dry ESFR sprinkler with the corrosion resistant ENT finish, Viking delivers dependable protection, and performance for the most demanding refrigerated and frozen storage environments.
The Challenges of Cold Storage
Cold storage environments are demanding due to sub-zero temperatures, constant humidity, packaging materials or high-rack storage. Fire protection must therefore be designed to perform steadfastly under these conditions:
- ENT finish: for long-term corrosion resistance
- Suitable for storage heights up to 15 meters
- Ease of installation, in particular adjustment of the ESFR position which is critical
- Competitively priced to provide peace of mind in complex buildings
- Broad portfolio of fire protection solutions
- Proven performance with low maintenance needs
- Certified performance: UL listed and FM approved for corrosion resistance, NFPA requirements, etc.
