Cold Storage Warehouses
Engineered Fire Protection for Extreme Cold Environments
Cold storage and refrigerated warehouses present very challenging fire protection conditions. Subzero temperatures, dry air, and high humidity differentials make traditional detection and suppression methods unreliable, yet the stakes remain high. From food preservation to pharmaceutical storage, a single incident can mean significant product loss, operational downtime, and safety risks.
KiddeFenwal delivers proven fire protection solutions designed to perform where others struggle. Our integrated detection and suppression technologies provide continuous protection for cold environments, ensuring safety and compliance without compromising temperature control or productivity.
Built for Low-Temperature, High-Risk Facilities
Cold storage warehouses are unique: the same systems that preserve goods also create complex fire challenges. KiddeFenwal solutions are engineered to meet those challenges head-on, detecting fires early, suppressing effectively, and maintaining system integrity across extreme conditions.
- Reliable Detection in Extreme Cold
Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) continuously samples air and identifies fire at the earliest stages—long before visible smoke can develop, even in subzero temperatures. Linear Heat Sensors (LHS™) are also suitable for such applications to cover racks and trays especially in high-bay warehouses. - Residue-Free Suppression
Clean-agent and inert-gas systems, such as NATURA™, extinguish fires quickly without damaging products or leaving moisture or residue that could compromise inventory or insulation. - Temperature-Resilient Components
Specialized materials and system configurations prevent condensation, icing, or false alarms common in freezer environments. - Integrated System Control
Advanced detection and suppression work together for rapid response, coordinated activation, and remote system monitoring through IntelliSite™.
Applications
KiddeFenwal solutions protect a wide range of cold and temperature-controlled environments, including:
- Freezer and refrigerated warehouses
- Food and beverage storage and distribution facilities
- Pharmaceutical and biotech storage areas
- Ice cream and frozen food production plants
- Agricultural produce preservation centers
- Logistics and fulfillment hubs with cold-chain systems
Our engineers collaborate with facility designers, EHS teams, and insurers to ensure every system meets NFPA, FM Global, and local code requirements while maintaining thermal stability and product quality.
