The study redesigned the refrigeration unit of a cold storage facility in Belitung, Indonesia to improve its functions. The researchers identified the components, calculated the storage capacity as 102.21 tons, and the cooling load as 6,747 kW. Using a compressor with 16.95 kW cooling capacity, 80.28 kW condenser, and R-507A refrigerant, the redesigned cold storage measures 11m by 7.6m by 3.5m and can accommodate over 45 tons of products more efficiently. Component selection was based on the calculated cooling needs.

Cold storage redesign is a plan to make changes to the structure of the
refrigeration unit in cold storage that aims to produce better benefits or produce functions that are different from the original design. The research objectives are to redesign cold storage, identify the engine components used, calculate the cold storage room storage capacity, calculate the cooling load and the selection of cooling machine components. The study began from November 2018 until May 2019 which took place at PT. Belitung Berkah Mandiri in Belitung Regency. the method used is the study of literature, identifying machine components, calculation methods, selecting components to be used and redesigning cold storage. The design at PT. Belitung Berkah Mandiri with cold storage room dimensions of 11 m in length, 7.6 m in width and 3.5 m in height with a volume of 292.6 m3, can accommodate a product of 102.21 tons. By using a compressor with a cooling capacity of 16.95 kW, a condenser of 80.28 kW, and 6.92 kW with refrigerant used R-507A. Factors that influence the burden of education are the product load of 45.78 kW, the transmission load of 6.36 kW, the electric motor load of 3.10 kW, the infiltration load of 10.61 kW, the lamp load of 2 kW, the workload of 2.35 kW with using a safety factor of 10%, the cold storage cold load of 6,747 kW is obtained. Where the evaporation temperature is -15 ̊ C, and condensation is 38 C ̊ , the ideal COP value is 2.20, the actual COP is 4.86 with an efficiency of 45.26%. in the selection of engine components to be used according to the needs, a refrigerant with a capacity of 6.7 kW Guntner, a condenser of Guntner with a cooling capacity of 9.8 kW and a compressor brand Bitzer with a cooling capacity of 7.78 kW
