Aquaculture Cold Storage & Refrigeration Calculator
Every commercial aquaculture project needs a chilled buffer (0–4 °C) plus a frozen store (–20 to –25 °C). This tool sizes room volume, pallet capacity, refrigeration load (kW), annual energy cost and indicative CAPEX so you can spec the cold-chain package before contacting suppliers.
Scenario modelling
Flexes ambient, run-hours, tariff and insulation — the four levers of cold-chain OPEX.
Calculator inputs
Days of production held chilled at 0–4 °C.
0 if no blast/IQF freezer needed.

Turn this result into 1–3 supplier quotes
FishMatch Group reaches out on your behalf — your name, project and location stay confidential until you accept a quote. No sign-up, no listing fees, buyers never pay.
How supplier matching works
- 1. Private brief. Your spec goes only to manufacturers we have selected for the right category, capacity and export experience.
- 2. Confidential outreach. Suppliers see the technical spec — not your name, company or exact location — until you accept a quote.
- 3. 1–3 comparable quotes. Typically within 5–10 business days, aligned on scope so you can compare like-for-like.
- 4. Financing intro (optional). If needed, we introduce your project to a financing partner. No fee to buyers.
Notes
- IQF product must reach -18 °C core within 90 min — spec plate/blast freezer accordingly.
- Ammonia (NH₃) systems win on TCO above ~150 kW; smaller plants use CO₂ or HFC.
- Backup power for cold storage is mandatory — pair with the generator sizing calculator.
