Know the measurements, the profiles (serial and model number if profile not available.) and the number of the gaskets sided.

A faulty or leaking refrigerator door wastes energy, increases your energy bill, and stresses your refrigerator, shortening its life. You also risk spoiling your food. Changing the door seal (often called a gasket) may be necessary, but it’s not that difficult of a process.

Most fridge door problems relate to the gasket; that rubber seal that runs all the way around the outside of the fridge and freezer doors. If the gasket is dirty, warped, detached, or hardened with age then it can’t make the seal that will keep your fridge firmly closed with all the cold on the inside.

When measuring a circular gasket, think of it as a clock. Use a tape measure or ruler and measure across the gasket from the 9:00 position to the 3:00 position. Measure the inside edges for the I.D. and the outside edges for the O.D.

The gasket seals cold air inside and keeps hot air outside of your , walk-in coolers door. Moisture may also condense on the exterior of the fridge, and ice may form on the inside of freezer sections that are supposed to be frost-less.

One way to tell if a seal is bad is the paper test. Put a piece of paper between the door and the fridge, close the door and then pull. If the paper slips out easily, it’s time to replace the gaskets because it isn’t sealing.

What is the R-value of your walk-in?

R-value is the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value the better the insulation is in a walk-in cooler or freezer. K-factor is the ability of heat to flow the lower the better for walk-in coolers or freezers.

R-value of any insulation varies according to age of the insulation, wetness of the insulation, type of insulation, mean temperature of the insulation and condition of the insulation.

Most companies publish the R-values of their walk-in coolers and freezers. These R-values are usually at time of manufacturer of the insulation and not what the R-value is after the unit has been in the field for one year. In the roofing industry after much discussion manufactures publish a 120-day aged R-value at a 75 degree mean temperature. Even these R-values do not take into consideration the moisture content of the insulation, which can lower R-value by as much as 75%.

When buying a walk-in cooler or freezer ask what the aged R-value of the insulation will be 5 years after manufacturer and how resistant to moisture the insulation is. You will be surprised how these numbers vary from their published R-values.

R-values of different types of insulations are as follows:

What kind of insulation do you use?

Refrigeration Gaskets of Texas uses two types of insulations in walk-in coolers and freezers today; extruded polystyrene and glued in place polyurethane. 

Do you use wood in your boxes?

It is always better not to include wood in walk-in coolers and freezers. Wood is a poor insulator and does not do well in the consistently damp or wet environments commonly found in walk-in coolers and freezers. Some walk-in manufactures actually use 2X4-inch tongue and grove edging around each panel edge throughout their walk-ins. Some walk-in companies use wood throughout their walk-in doors. Refrigeration Gaskets of Texas uses no wood products in our standard walk-in walls, ceilings, doors and floors.

To reduce damage most Refrigeration Gaskets of Texas walk-ins are shipped skidded on a skid. Once it is at your site it will need to be unloaded with a forklift or the unit will have to be unloaded off the skid piece by piece from inside the truck. This is a three to four man job not counting the trucker. Time is a consideration as some trucking companies’ charge extra for extra long unloading times.

Before purchasing your walk-in, you may be wondering how much it will cost to operate your walk-in. To give you a rough estimate of how much it cost to operate a walk-in cooler or freezer, using the national average of 11.89 cents per kilowatt, look at the chart below.

*These numbers were figured using the $.0999 kilowatt hour cost. According to the Energy Information Administration this is the average cost in the United States for commercial electricity.

• The cost of running a walk-in varies due to many factors.
• The type of insulation in the walk-in.
• Where the walk-in is located.
• The temperature and the weight of the product being cooled.
• How often the door is opened.
• Efficiency of the refrigeration system.
• Cost of electricity.
• The age of the walk-in.

This is just to name a few. Actually, over a hundred factors are considered when sizing refrigeration systems for a walk-in. Most walk-ins are designed to run 80% of the time or between 16 and 18 hours per day.

Most users do not understand that they can lower the cost of operating their units if they do some very simple things. First if up front cost are not an issue purchase your walk-in cooler or freezer with extruded polystyrene insulation. It is the overall best insulation in the market for walk-in coolers or freezers. Next do some simple things such as order your walk-in with strip curtains to lower heat gain to the walk-in when loading or walking into the unit. Work with your refrigeration service technician to set the minimum required defrost cycles for your specific needs. Step inside the walk-in once a month and check for any light coming from around the door, refrigeration systems, electrical connections and other penetrations in the panels. If light is found contact your local service technicians to correct the issue. Periodically check door gaskets and door sweeps for wear. If wear is evident have your dealers replace the worn part. Have regular maintenance of the refrigeration system by a license refrigeration technician.

Coolers can be installed on ground contact concrete floors and pads but it is recommended that an insulation barrier be installed under the walls of the unit to reduce condensation on high humidity days. On coolers located on wood frame floors a cooler floor is a necessity. Condensation will develop under the floor and eventually rot the floor out. On freezers a floor or an insulated concrete floor with insulation barrier is required.
