    DIY Walk In Cooler

    ...a 7X12 enclosed trailer at work this year. I installed an AC unit in the front and spray foamed the heck out of the thing. I've got the coolbot sitting in the garage and ready to install when I get time. I need to put some kind of floor drain in for easy cleaning and a system for hanging...

    DIY Walk In Cooler

    ...spring/summer. Part of the space is a partitioned off area designated to be a walk in refrigerator. Same plan for me... going to try the Coolbot. Testimonials are pretty convincing ,this device should work quite nicely in my 4' x 8' well insulated space. Looking forward to not being frantic...

    Coolbot, over budget over time but awesome

    ...I was getting by with an old fridge. This year I decided to pull the trigger and modify an existing shed into a cooler using a window AC and CoolBot unit. I researched the system and did my best to follow recommendations found on youtube. Like so many projects do, this was way over time and...

    DIY Walk In Cooler

    I'm planning on using unistrut and door hangers.....like the rolling hangers and rail used for barn doors. I'll probably have to get creative making a hook to put on the hanger but that's part of the fun of DIY. Lowes has the strut and rollers if you look on their website. Pretty reasonable.

    Dream Processing Setup

    ...and eating without having to completely clean up the butchering in progress would be nice. I would also have an old enclosed trailer with a Coolbot setup and full insulation parked next to the house. Find a few small town butcher shops in the off season and ask for a tour of their setups...

    DIY Walk In Cooler

    ...my garden to allow more time for me to can/preserve/etc. I'm looking at building a rather small unit....probably 6'X6' or so...and using a CoolBot for the refrigeration unit. I've got some refrigeration panels here at work that were left over from a project we did a few years ago. I'm...

    Coolbot, over budget over time but awesome

    ...as the unit never appeared to shutoff even when below set temp. Apparently, the AC fan continues running even when the compressor is off. Coolbot manual says this is a good thing to keep air circulating. If AC is set to ECO mode the whole thing turns off. I will alert the forum if my next...

    Fridge Aged Meat?

    ...for 7 days in the garage with some hanging quarters. Guess we are lucky in that our fall temps allow us to age our game in our own garage. We do now have access to a coolbot powered walkin cooler for warmer weather. Coolbots are awesome . Want one to convert part of our garage to a true walkin.

    Walk in cooler question.

    ...want to clean it up and use it this fall for my family and I's deer. The compressor ran fine but I opted to demo and go with a 10k A\C and a Coolbot so as to reduce the chance of failure and loss of meat. The placement of the a/c is my question. I understand that air flow is good for the meat...

    aging elk

    ...harvest was key. Even though it was almost 60+ degrees that day the breeze cooled the quarters in the field until we could get them into the Coolbot walkin cooler. If not for the cooler we would have skinned them out right away. Our non hunting brewer friend loves the steaks we have shared...

    Cool Bot Walk In

    I am curious about how it works (the "How it works" section on the website does not explain it). Does the coolbot have a heater that sits next to the AC thermostat, or does it tie in to the AC control wiring?

    Cool Bot Walk In

    ...it again I would go into it with a better game plan. If you go to the link Cushman posted there's some good notes on the recommended construction. I think you could build a small one for around $1000 or less not including the AC and the CoolBot. Just depends on how well you want to finish it out.

    Cool Bot Walk In

    It does have a heater lead that you put against the AC thermostat and wrap them together with aluminum foil. There's another lead that you put 1/3 of an inch into the fins of the AC to prevent icing up. Another lead hangs down for the room temp. 3 wires total. I only have it on when game is in...

    Walk in Cooler !!

    But they still run with a high back pressure. Just sayin! Dont know if the coolbot does defrost or not, not familiar with them. Just know what 28 years tells me. You can't get 400 horsepower out of a 200 horsepower motor.

    Walk in Cooler !!

    I have never heard of a coolbot till now. 28 years in the refrigeration business tells me to be very cautious. Air conditioning compressors are different than refrigeration compressors, in that they are made to operate at specific suction pressures(back pressure). In order to maintain 38F with...

    Walk in Cooler !!

    Should work OK if you keep your saturated evap pressure above freezing. Otherwise you might have to put a defrost cycle on it. Air to air heat pumps run great down to 0 F.
