Let Us Talk About Cold Freezer Rooms

For the uninitiated, cold freezer rooms are also known as walk-in fridge, walk-in freezer, cold rooms, or simply walk-ins! And it is extremely significant for a prospective buyer to learn a thing or two about the two characteristically different kinds of cold rooms for deciding which type will suit one. It is no surprise that the cold freezer rooms are becoming increasingly popular and commonplace in Auckland and other places around the world these days and for a good number of reasons, which is, though, beyond the scope of today’s discussion.

• Remote condensing/split

This type of cold room is constructed with insulated panels and contains one or more in-built evaporators (refrigerator surfaces), coupled with a heavy-duty fan for maintaining proper air circulation inside the configuration and cooling the entire facility. Remote condensing/split essentially suggests that the hot side is intentionally placed outside your building and away from the cold room, much like the way heated coils were used to be placed at the back of the refrigerators before the era of frost-free cooling. This particular setup necessarily ensures that your cold room can always afford to liberate the thermal energy to its surroundings in an efficient fashion, and thus, accomplishing a higher energy efficiency for uninterrupted usage.

• Self-contained/clip-on

This type of systems is somewhat easier to install when compared to the one previously mentioned. They are also typically to cost less as you are not required to install pipes between the cold room and the condensing part. The only drawback is their considerably high energy requirement as they are known to release the thermal energy outside the cold room, increasing the temperature of the surrounding environment eventually, and making it more difficult for your refrigeration system to liberate the heated energy.

It is imperative for the owners and/or the end users to critically consider the location of the cold freezer room beforehand, and also make a note of the fact that if one is to opt for the self-contained type, then you can afford to spare the surrounding environment of the room from the troubles of getting heated in due course. You may also consult with a qualified refrigeration specialist in Auckland (or wherever you may require) to know more on this matter.

To suffice, there are built-in cold freezer rooms as well where the walls of the cold room are integrated into the building that houses them.
