Thermal Mapping Services
Ensure Temperature Uniformity & Regulatory Compliance
SenzeCal provides comprehensive thermal mapping and temperature distribution studies for cold rooms, freezers, warehouses, stability chambers, and environmental rooms. Our PAB-accredited / ISO17025 : 2017 services help Pharmaceutical, Cold Chain facilities, Food Storage, and other facilities meet regulatory requirements.
What is Thermal Mapping?
Thermal mapping (also known as temperature mapping or temperature distribution study) is a systematic process of measuring and documenting temperature variations throughout a controlled environment over a specified period. This validation ensures your storage areas maintain consistent temperatures within acceptable limits, protecting product quality and meeting regulatory compliance.
Why Thermal Mapping is Critical:
Regulatory Compliance
Required for FDA, WHO PQS, PIC/S, and Philippine FDA (RA 10611) compliance
Product Integrity
Identifies hot and cold spots that could compromise temperature-sensitive products
Risk Mitigation
Validates that all locations within the mapped area remain within specification
Documentation
Provides objective evidence for regulatory inspections and audits
Sensor Placement
Determines optimal locations for permanent temperature monitoring sensors
Our Thermal Mapping Capabilities
Facilities We Map:
- Cold Rooms & Warehouses (-25°C to +25°C)
- Freezers (-40°C)
- Stability Chambers & Incubators (+15°C to +60°C)
- Clean Rooms & Manufacturing Areas
- Environmental Chambers & Growth Rooms
- Refrigerated Transport Vehicles
- Blood Banks & Plasma Storage
- Vaccine Storage Facilities
Study Protocols We Support:
- Empty (Unloaded) Mapping: Baseline temperature distribution without product load
- Loaded Mapping: Temperature distribution with representative product load
- Seasonal Studies: Change to Hot and Cold / Rainy Seasons (Philippines hot/cold seasons)
- Door Opening Studies: Impact of operational disturbances
- Power Failure Recovery: Temperature recovery profiles after power interruption
- HVAC Performance: Temperature uniformity in controlled environments
Our Thermal Mapping Process
Pre-Study Consultation
Site assessment and facility walk-through, review of regulatory requirements and specifications, protocol development tailored to your facility, and equipment qualification verification.
Sensor Deployment
Strategic placement based on facility geometry and risk assessment, use of PAB-traceable calibrated temperature sensors, minimum 9-point grid for cold rooms (more for larger facilities), and data logger setup with 1-15 minute recording intervals.
Monitoring Period
Minimum duration of 24 hours for cold rooms, 48-72 hours for stability chambers. Continuous temperature recording throughout the study with cloud based real-time monitoring via TempHawk™ wireless system and documentation of any profile variances.
Data Analysis
Statistical analysis of temperature distribution, identification of hot and cold spots, mean kinetic temperature (MKT) calculations where applicable, temperature uniformity assessment, and 3D visualization and thermal contour mapping.
Comprehensive Reporting
Executive summary with pass/fail criteria, complete raw data sets and statistical analysis, 2D floor plans showing sensor locations, 3D thermal distribution visualizations, recommended permanent sensor locations, certificate of calibration for all sensors used, and traceability documentation.
