Product Cooling Loads for Walk-In Coolers
(24 hour pull down/18 hour compressor operation) 24% safety factor added to loads to allow for service.
For product pull down greater than 10 degrees, divide pull down
temperature by 10. Multiply this number by the BTUH shown on
Table A, then add to Box Load

Room Loads based on continuous
operation and includes allowance
for average number of personnel,
processing equipment, etc., with
glass panel in one wall and walls
and ceiling insulated with 3” of
styrene with box located in air
conditioned area. Evaporator
should be low outlet velocity type
to avoid drafts and should be
selected for continuous operation
and not less than 30ºF. evap. temp.

Table D
Product Freezing Loads for Walk-In Freezers
Freezing loads based on product entering at 40ºF. maximum.
For a specic pull down time, the product load BTU/hr. may be
adjusted by multiplying the above loads by 24 and dividing by
the specic pull down time in hours. To adjust for 0ºF. freezer
temperature, multiply the above loads by 0.97, and for -20ºF.
freezer, multiply by 1.04.
