Commercial Walk-in Coolers: Essential Information
Commercial walk-in coolers provide the necessary space to handle large volumes of food in your foodservice operation. These coolers and freezers significantly prolong the shelf life of perishable items, reducing food waste and saving costs. They reliably maintain temperatures that meet FDA standards—below 40°F for coolers and below 0°F for freezers.
There are various types of walk-in coolers and freezers available, featuring compressors that can be mounted on the top or side of the unit, or located remotely. Both indoor and outdoor models are offered, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages. Outdoor walk-in coolers are particularly useful for operations with limited indoor space, although they require careful consideration depending on the climate. Additionally, these units come equipped with condensers specifically tailored for refrigeration or freezing. Operators also have the option to purchase extra equipment, like shelving, separately to enhance their storage capabilities.

Common Questions About Walk-in Coolers
(1) Does a walk-in cooler need a floor?
While a floor isn't always required for restaurant walk-in coolers, it's generally advisable to have one. If your cooler will only see light foot traffic and is placed over a non-damaging surface like concrete, you might skip a specially installed floor. However, if you decide against a floor, ensure that the cooler is properly sealed to the existing surface. For freezers and any coolers that will accommodate hand trucks, carts, or pallet jacks, a floor is essential.
(2) Can I use my walk-in freezer to refrigerate food?
Walk-in freezers are designed to operate at freezing temperatures and typically cannot be adjusted to higher temperatures suitable for refrigeration. You'll need a dedicated refrigerated storage unit for your perishable food items.
(3) How cold can a walk-in freezer get?
The FDA requires that frozen food be kept at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Most restaurant walk-in freezers are built to maintain temperatures around -10 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal food preservation.
(4) How do I keep warm air from entering my commercial walk-in cooler?
To prevent cool air from escaping when employees enter and exit the cooler, you have a few options. Plastic strips are a cost-effective solution, while air doors, which create a curtain of air, may offer better long-term energy savings and reduce the strain on your compressor. Both options help to keep warm air out, preventing food spoilage and minimizing condensation and water pooling. They also serve as barriers against pests and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Walk-In Coolers
How does a walk in cooler work?
Heat energy naturally flows from regions of higher temperature to those of lower temperature. In a walk-in cooler, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the interior, then moves to a compressor that raises its pressure and temperature as it travels outside. This allows the refrigerant to release heat to the outside air. Once it returns inside, the refrigerant undergoes expansion, which cools it down and restarts the cycle.
What temperature does a walk in cooler operate at?
Walk-in coolers are typically maintained at a temperature of 35°F, which is ideal for storing many perishable goods. However, certain applications may necessitate adjusting the temperature accordingly. For example, some items, like fresh meat or fish, might require cooler settings, often between 28°F and 32°F, to enhance preservation. Conversely, products like certain cheeses or beverages may need to be kept at slightly warmer temperatures, around 40°F to 45°F, for optimal quality. It's important to tailor the temperature to meet the specific storage needs of different items to ensure freshness and safety.
Can a walk in cooler be used as a freezer?
Standard walk-ins may be able to be converted into freezers if their insulation is thick enough, but this would require major system changes. If you need a unit that can function as both a walk-in cooler and a freezer, Hengliang Cooling offers dual-temperature units that can be adjusted for either cooling or freezing temperatures with the turn of a dial.
What are common walk in cooler sizes?
Most manufacturers provide panel boxes that are assembled on-site in standard sizes of 8’x10’ or 8’x20’. In contrast, Hengliang’s outdoor walk-in coolers are custom-built, allowing us to create a unit that perfectly fits your requirements—up to 16’ x 65’—without being limited by the dimensions of your existing structure.
How much electricity does a walk in cooler use?
Several factors influence the electricity consumption of your walk-in cooler, such as its size, location, and intended use. Typically, walk-in coolers operate on systems ranging from 1½ to 3 horsepower, requiring 15 to 30 amps and operating at 208-230 volts, 3-phase. However, these specifications can vary based on your specific application.
What type of insulation is used in walk in coolers?
Panel boxes utilize foamed-in-place polyurethane components, which can create voids that permit heat infiltration into the unit. In contrast, Hengliang Cooling walk-in coolers feature Polyisocyanurate rigid board insulation, offering high compressive strength, excellent adhesion to facers, low water absorption, low vapor transmission, and exceptional energy efficiency.
