Heat Load

As we mentioned earlier, the refrigeration system on your walk-in does not make things cold. The system instead removes heat from the walk-in structure. Where does the heat come from that must be removed by the refrigeration process? The two most common sources you have control over are door openings and product load. Did you know that one 100-watt lamp left on in a walk-in would generate 8,208 BTU in a 24-hour period? Keep door openings and closings to a minimum to conserve energy. When working inside, close the door behind you. There is a door opener inside.
