Temperature mapping, or also referred to as thermal mapping, plays an important role in the cold chain process. A system that requires temperature control could truly benefit from this process as it assesses and maps out temperature changes, or also referred to as cold or hot spots, and uses the results to monitor the temperature. Temperature changes are often experienced in areas that are near windows, fans, vents, doors and personnel traffic. It is expected that temperature in these areas tend to fluctuate, which is why analyses and monitoring is necessary.
A lot of businesses benefit from temperature mapping. Some of the areas that really need this process are in the distribution, production, and storage area. With just a small fluctuation in temperature, any perishable product, food, or pharmaceutical, could be affected in terms of quality. Temperature fluctuation is actually common in controlled spaces, which is why local as well as international criteria have been provided to ensure the quality and value of all perishable products, chemical products, and drugs.
Since temperature fluctuations are quite common, it is necessary that you need to know where you apply temperature mapping. You need to know where the right locations are to put the sensors. Here are some things to consider in defining sensor locations:
· The location of the control sensor
· The arrangement of the room where the products are stored
· The placement of racks, shelves, and pallets; and how it affects air flow
· The proficiency of the HVAC system in moving air
· The placement of windows, doors and vents, which may affect the temperature
· The size of fans or blowers in the area
· The areas that provide temporary storage
· The location of outside walls that may react to outer temperature
· The probability of power interruptions
· The possibility of electrical fluctuations
· The most exposed areas that could experience immense temperature variations; ex: central shipping doors
· The changes in temperature covering the space amid the air along the warm ceiling and the cool floor
Similar to the importance of sensor locations, it is also important that you put in the right amount of sensors to be used. It is of quite importance that you measure the temperature thoroughly in order to expose your products to the right temperature.
Temperature mapping is certainly a crucial portion of the cold chain process. Carrying it out excellently and proficiently is an assurance that you are able to preserve your product's quality and value the right way.
