Upington notes on cold rooms & commercial
Refrigeration contractors along the Orange River spend the season servicing packhouse cold rooms, precooling tunnels and condensing units near Kakamas, Keimoes, Kanoneiland and Groblershoop. Export table grapes must be cooled quickly after picking, so a breakdown at harvest is serious. Dried fruit stores and wine cellars along the river also need cooling. Ask for a maintenance plan before harvest and for condensing units sized for very high ambient heat.
Upington: heat, power and cold chains
Upington lies on the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari, and it is one of the hottest towns in the country, with summer days that can top 40 °C. A green ribbon of irrigated farms along the river grows table grapes for export and grapes for raisins and sultanas, and packhouses and cold stores near Kakamas, Keimoes and Kanoneiland run hard from late spring. Wine cellars cool their tanks in the same heat. In town and in Paballelo, fridges in hot kitchens and outside rooms run nonstop and fail early. Dust storms clog coils. Packhouses, farmers, households, butcheries and guest houses for Kalahari travellers ask most.
