Outside Refrigeration

[bpj]

Is it ok to put refrigerators in a room without air conditioning in a hot climate with only exhaust fans provided? What would be the temperature required for good operation?

[Brian_UK]

All long as there is good airflow and the fridges are for the specified region then it should be OK.

Thanks for the reply, but is there a general operating temperature range for normal restaurant freezers? Oh, and does it make a difference if they are refrigerators or freezers?

Any idea what could happen if the temperature increases above the limit?

Thx again.:)

Foster's used to rate some of their cabinets as "43C" meaing they would run OK at ambients up to 43 deg C.

But as Brian says, if you get a cabinet that is designed for your region, it should work fine as long as your extract fans are "pulling away" all that heat being generated, and there is a good supply of "fresh" ambiant air.

To summarise- no "short cylcing" of condenser air.

:cool:
