Walk-in refrigeration is the ideal solution when running a restaurant, catering business, or if you need ample cold storage. Some of the benefits of having a walk-in freezer or walk-in refrigerator are the fact that they keep a larger amount of food fresh, they are sanitary, they prevent food from spoiling quickly, and they save you money in the long run.

There are many different types of refrigeration, and today we’re discussing the different types.

Before Choosing a Walk in Refrigeration Ask Yourself These Questions

• What type are fridge do you need (freezer, refrigeration or both)
• What type of flooring is required?
• What material finish do you want?
• How much storage do you need?
• Do you need a portable walk-in?
• Are you having your freezer custom-built?

Multiplex Walk-in Coolers and Freezers

Multiplex walk-in refrigeration and freezers contain multiple condensing units and evaporators which are unique to these types of refrigeration. They are also made according to the placement area, and you should consider the flooring type to get the right one installed. 

Indoor Walk-in Coolers and Freezers 

Indoor walk-in coolers and freezers give you the liberty of storing refrigeration solutions inside your premises. Some people opt for an outdoor one due to limited space. The indoor walk-in also cuts time when getting items from the cold storage, and your refrigerator is safe inside your property. 

However, they increase the temperature on the inside of the property or nearby surroundings because the condenser doesn’t blow the air outside. Some people may find this inconvenient as it raises the temperature in summer even more. 

Walk-in Refrigeration With no Floors 

It’s not always apparent that some walk-in fridges don’t have an actual floor of their own. Still, there is an option for this type of fridge. Special flooring is put in place to help with insulation; however, no floor refrigeration is a low-budget option if you cannot afford a whole walk-in fridge with flooring and adapted insulation. 

Mobile Walk-in Refrigeration 

When thinking about how to pick the right walk in fridge, it takes a bit of thought to decide since there are so many options. Another type of walk-in cooler is a portable or mobile one. The mobile walk-in fridge makes transporting cold produce easy. 

Stores that sell flowers or other cold storage items can benefit from adding mobile walk-ins in their delivery vans to keep goods child while in transit.  

Remote Walk-in Freezer

Remote walk-in freezers are great for commercial industries like restaurants since they store the condenser and evaporator apart from each other. Unlike the multiplex variation, the remote walk-in freezer pushes the warm air out, and there’s no need to increase AC use when operating the fridge.
