- Subject: [Market-farming] Coolers - Walk In Style
- Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2010 08:47:20 -0400
We are adding another walk in cooler to our farm
this year. (Our other one is in the basement of the house, and we're
getting tired of carrying everything down the stairs and then back up again on
CSA and market days.)
I've been looking at used insulated truck boxes
with reefers. The problem I'm usually running into is that most of them
either don't have an electrical backup to the main diesel unit, or the
electrical backup is 3 phase, and we don't have access to 3 phase hydro
here. (We could purchase a phase converter, but the quote I received was
about $2500)
At this point, it looks like we might buy one with
a diesel unit and simply add an electricity powered compressor unit separately,
so that way we've got our main power as electric, but we can use the diesel unit
if the electricity goes out.
Just wondering if anyone else has any thoughts or
experiences in adding walk in coolers to their operation without spending a
fortune, either with used truck boxes or other methods!
Thanks
Dave
PS - This is my first post. I tried to look
through the last 6 months' archives but didn't see any subject titles that
looked like they covered this subject. Thanks for letting me know about
this list Rob, looks like lots of good info allready!
