If you own or manage a commercial property, such as a restaurant, grocery store, brewery, or flower shop, you need dependable refrigeration equipment to keep your products cool. With so many walk-in cooler options on the market, it’s difficult to choose the optimal model for your business. Here’s a helpful comparison of the advantages of various refrigeration systems.

How to Choose Walk-In Refrigeration Equipment

Insulation Panels

Most walk-in coolers have stainless steel panels filled with dense foam insulation. As you browse for refrigeration equipment, look for walk-in models that have high-performance insulation made from polystyrene or polyurethane. These materials have a high R-value, meaning they prevent heat transfer and improve overall efficiency.

Flooring

Walk-in coolers typically have aluminum flooring, which isn’t always the most durable option for high-traffic operations. Prevent slips and spills by using concrete padding, or opt for a floorless model if the installation area already has strong flooring.

Door

Your walk-in cooler needs a dependable door that offers easy access while preventing cool air from escaping. Go for a unit that has a self-closing door to prevent the loss of cool air during busy hours. Look for a model with strong hinges, gaskets, and latches that will seal the door shut and promote efficiency.

Refrigeration System

Walk-in coolers come with the option of two different types of refrigeration systems: remote and self-contained. Remote systems have two parts — one located outdoors, so it doesn’t need as much ventilation to stay cool. Self-contained systems, however, are preassembled and more spacious.
