The temperature is the main difference. A freezer has to be below zero (i.e., it must actually freeze the contents), while a cool room will simply keep the contents cool. Ice cream is kept in a freezer, and produce or fresh meat is kept in a cool room.

Additionally, a walk-in freezer should have more insulation in the walls and the floor should be built differently.

In many walk-in cooler/freezer combination units the freezer is located partially inside of the cooler (it may still have two walls on the outside of the box). If you're wanting to put a residential freezer inside a cooler, it's not recommended as you'll need to find a way for the refrigeration unit to dump heat outside of the cooler box.

It may be possible depending on what kind of walk-in cooler you have, but in all likelihood your refrigerator won't cut it as a freezer or it will need major upgrades. To meet the new U.S. Energy Act standards the contain wall, ceiling, and door insulation of Coolers must be at least R--25 and R--32 for Freezers. Freezers also must have an insulated floor that is at least R--28. Then you must get an adequate refrigeration unit as whatever you have on your refrigerator will not be powerful enough to hold the walk-in temperature below freezing. Even if you convert your cooler to a freezer, it will likely not be as efficient as a box built to be a freezer.

Where you can buy a walk-in freezer depends on your location. To find a restaurant supply store located near you, visit www.yellowpages.com or www.yelp.com.

Does ice cream melt quicker in the fridge or at room temperature?

Room temperature, because the fridge is colder so the temperature difference between the freezer and the fridge is not that much compared to the difference between the freezer and room temperature. Hope I helped.


What is the difference between a walk in freezer and a cold room?

Actually, their main difference is the level of temperature. While a coolroom is designed to keep its contents in cool temperature to keep them fresh, a freezer is set to provide temperature below zero degrees Celsius. The latter is designed to keep whatever is inside it frozen. For example, vegetables and other produce and fresh meat are stored in coolrooms while mice cream is ideally stored in a freezer.


Will hot things cool quicker in a freezer than cool things?

You should never put hot things in a fridge or freezer as this will damage the cooling mechanism of the appliance . All foods to be placed in a fridge or freezer must be left to cool down at room temperature before being stored.


Can you freeze hot food?

Yes, but it is best to cool down food fast before storing it in the freezer.Putting hot food in the freezer will thaw a little of the freezer and make the freezer work harder to freeze the hot food.

Does the tea cool at a constant rate?

The rate that tea cools will change with the temperature difference between the tea and the ambient temperature. The larger the difference between the two, the faster the rate will be. As the tea cools closer to room temp, the rate of cooling will decrease.

Can you freeze a phone battery and it will wok?

A phone battery can be put into the freezer when overheated. After allowing the phone battery to cool down, remove it from the freezer let it come to room temperature, and place the battery back in the phone. Yes it will work.


Does the tea cool at constant rate?

No. It cools at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of it's surrounding. The cooler it gets, the closer it will get to room temperature, and the cooling slows down.
