Hidden Hazards in Cold Storage Foundations! Inadequate Moisture and Vibration Protection Damages Pipes
  2026-01-21 |  View:

     The foundation is the core basis for the stable operation of cold storage units. Moisture-proof and vibration-proof treatments are directly related to the unit's vibration amplitude and pipeline integrity. Skipping standardized moisture-proof and vibration-proof treatments on the foundation may seem to save initial construction costs, but in fact, it will trigger chain problems after the unit operates, intensify vibration hazards, accelerate cracks in pipeline welds, and lay hidden risks of leakage and shutdown for the refrigeration system.

     Lack of vibration-proof treatment amplifies the unit's operating vibration. Cold storage units inherently generate vibration during operation; without vibration-proof measures, the vibration is directly transmitted to the foundation and pipelines, subjecting pipeline welds to long-term alternating stress that gradually causes cracks and loosening. Meanwhile, intensified vibration affects the meshing accuracy of unit components, further amplifying operational noise and vibration amplitude, forming a vicious cycle.

     Inadequate moisture-proof treatment exacerbates the spread of hazards. A humid environment erodes the foundation structure, leading to uneven foundation settlement, which indirectly increases pipeline stress deviation and accelerates weld cracking. Additionally, moisture may penetrate the bottom components of the unit, corroding fixing bolts and pipeline joints, reducing structural strength, and further raising the risk of damage caused by vibration.

     Standardized foundation treatment requires addressing both aspects: lay professional moisture-proof layers during construction to block underground moisture penetration, and install vibration isolation pads and shock absorption devices to buffer unit operating vibration; ensure flatness and strength during foundation pouring to avoid later settlement; regularly inspect foundation conditions and pipeline welds, and promptly handle loosening and corrosion issues to build a solid protective barrier.

     Cold storage foundation treatment is by no means an "invisible project", but a key to ensuring long-term system operation. Conducting standardized moisture-proof and vibration-proof construction in the early stage, although requiring a small additional investment, can effectively avoid problems such as vibration damage and weld cracking, reduce refrigerant leakage and shutdown losses, and lay a solid foundation for the stable operation of the refrigeration system.
