Which is better for small livestock farm meat storage: chest freezers or walk-in freezers? I measured actual power consumption for our chest freezers and compare it to a walk-in freezer's consumption, as well as reviewing other pros & cons: space efficiency, reliability, emergency power considerations, ease of use, etc.

Informative video. Thank you.. I asked my grandfather why he had a walk-in fridge freezer combo instead of loads of fridges and freezers showed them the video. He said energy wise. Yours is running with less power and will save you some money.. so I asked him why us his system. He told me it takes up less space in the house.. He said the walk-in system that he has is cheaper to repair and replace parts as where most freezer chests today are built to be disposable and just replaced with a whole new model. He also said the lifespan of his freezer is twice that of the freezer chest. His fridge freezer combo is a little different you walk into the refrigerated area and then there’s another door which will take you into the freezer section the cold air that’s been extracted and blowing out from the freezer is exhausted into the refrigerator so the same energy that would normally Used to power a freezer is doing both. Making it more cost-efficient. I asked him because the freezer was modular about losing air like you said in the video but he used caulking on all of the joints. You can either use a silicone or butyl sealant, to make it more airtight. He also tiled the inside of both units, floor ceiling and walls.This way he can pressure wash it and clean it with a drain with a stopper that goes in so air does not escape when it’s not being used think of it like a bathtub.. the floor tiles are nonslip and the tiles really conduct and reflect the cold into the unit. Most of the freezer is used really well for all the different types of meats, fruits, and vegetables that get stored in there. The freezer section however is used a little for some produce milk, cheese, butter, and some fresh vegetables to free up space in the upstairs fridge. The fridge section has an awful lot of drinks stored in there Water sodapop beers wines. Put the majority of the fridge unit is used for processing the meat when we process we also hang the meat to in the fridge we would hide two or three cows in there wait for them to age and then process them. When that’s done five or six lambs processed them, and then five or six pigs, and then process them. We put everything into vacuum seal bags in the refrigerator and put the labels on it. Then we a little cart outside the few chambered vacuum sealer and seal it all up. We went back in and stored it in the freezer.. my grand will go down to the freezer to three times and month fill up a little basket of stuff bring it upstairs and put it in the fridge freezer up there for the week. She calls it her residential Costco you just walk around inside it like you’re at the store. It’s kind of true you go down to that part of the basement and you have to walk in fridge freezer. You also have a very large pantry that has freeze dried foods and canned foods. My grandfather also has two root sellers, dark cool, dry root cellar, and a dark, damp, wet root cellar.. the dark, damp, wet root cellar has a water feature in it to keep the moisture in the air, which is good for some of the foods we store. so in a way it’s like the store almost everything you could want is down there.. I asked my grandfather what it cost to run it so he calculated it out. It comes to current market prices around $320 to $350 depending on the time of the year. So I asked my grandfather, which one he thought was a better system, and he said to me whatever you’re happiest with. It’s like I told you before Russell the best camera in the world is the one you have with you. Love my grandfather, but he never gives you really a straight answer. He always talks to you like he’s Yoda. You have to think about everything he says.

We've looked at going to a walk-in as we run 7 freezers for our farm store. My biggest concern is having all my eggs in one basket, secondary to power use. At least with chest freezers if you loose one you're not out everything.

Another efficiency advantage of chest freezers is that when you open one, you are only breaking the seal on one. You have to open the walk in every time you want something.

Added bonus of chest freezers is you don’t walk in. You walk into a walk in freezer your body temperature heats up the freezer or you need to spend money on thermal clothes. 😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
@eagle2019
@eagle2019 2 года назад
Pete another reason walk in Freezers use more electricity is that they are self defrosting. During timed cycles heating coils come on to melt any ice on the coils. Those heating elements use a lot of electricity, which is why the power consumption is almost double that of a chest freezer.

I'd recommend freezer temperature alarms. Easy to tell if something is amiss right away when the alarm is beeping when making your rounds. The ones I use are around $25 and work pretty good, but you can get the ones that connect to your wireless to alert your phone.

Cheap freezer alarm is a half filled jar of frozen water with a coin on top of the ice. If the coin is on the bottom, the freezer failed to work properly.
@bigdidgerido
@bigdidgerido 2 года назад
Audible temperature alarm. Freezer can have the power light on and look normal, and have failed. Opening the freezer needlessly to check a frozen jar of water just introduces humidity which increases the amount of times a guy has to defrost them. But if it works for you, great. I like the $25 battery powered temp alarms as a cheap insurance policy.
@LongboatAline
@LongboatAline 2 года назад
Another consideration - given enough insulation, the holding time of a closed chest-freezer (time until a unit cut off from power will rise in temperature enough to be of concern) is long enough to last through an entire day (more, actually). That makes them ideal candidates for circadian power schemes, such as solar energy. All it needs is some electronics to make sure they are powered at intervals during the day to match the power generated (and to avoid the whole lot stampeding on at the same time when power returns), ideally based on temperature. Perfect usage for solar power and less of those expensive battery packs since part of the energy gets used right away when it is available.

A chest freezer is a must have if you have the room. Less than 50$ a year to operate. We keep a Honda 2000w generator in case the power goes out. And if the freezer ever goes out you can store feed in it in the barn and keep the mice out. I defrost it every winter when it’s cold out. Put everything in totes on the porch outside. I lay some towels in the bottom then put a fan in the freezer blowing the cold air up and out. Works well. Thanks for all the tips Pete!

@rpercifieldjr
@rpercifieldjr 2 года назад
Warm wall condensers, and wall embedded evaporators are very inefficient. This is why this technology is not used in refrigerators or energy star rated upright freezers. Also, the lack of an evaporator fan deduces the flow of heat into the evap, slowing the cooling response of the system. An example, to freeze something you must transfer the heat to the evaporator. If the product is not in contact with the wall with the evaporator, it must first heat the surrounding stagnate air and use thermal convection to bring the warmer air into contact with the surface housing the evap coils. This added thermal resistance causes reduction in thermal regulating performance, efficiency, and freeze time of the product added. If you are only relying on the freezer to store pre-frozen food the chest freezer will work. It is normally not recommended to use a chest freezer for freezing of ambient temp product since the ability of the system to remove heat is very limited. I use both a forced air convection upright freezer and chest freezer. The chest freezer is only for storage, and the upright is used to rapidly freeze product. Your system works so so reason to change, just some observations. Another interesting observation, opening and closing either an upright or chest freezer doe not affect power consumption. Air has very little thermal mass, and heating and cooling it takes very little energy. What is does affect is adding moisture into the air, that causes more frost buildup in a chest freezer, and more frequent defrost cycles in forced air systems.

I just thought of another positive point for having the chest freezers. You mentioned all the “wasted space” above the chest freezers. Well, with a piece of plywood on top, look at all the table/workspace you just picked up! And it’s expandable (more sheets of plywood) and time flexible (1 hr, 1 day, 1 week, etc.). Can’t do that with a walk-in. 👍

Also, when you open a chest freezer, you’re only opening a small percentage of your freezer space to ambient air. With a walk-in, you’re opening ALL of your freezer space to ambient air, so you’re going to lose more energy and thus pay more money opening the door of a walk-in to get the same contents in or out of it.

when i was a youngster, my parents bought a grocery store - a field my father had been employed in for many years. naturally, the store had both a walkin cooler and a walkin freezer. now, having moved out to rural America, I've been wanting to get a basement dug so we could relocate our "prepper pantry" underground and then to install both a walkin freezer and cooler. However, since we already have two standalone freezers, three refrigerator/freezer combos and one refrigerator without a freezer, the argument for lower energy consumption and reduced likelihood of product loss - guess I'll just make enough room to house them all and enjoy the benefits of multiple units.

We use a 12x15 room off barn that was a tack room to keep all vegetables in and use a 12,000 btu air conditioner to cool room. Really works great. My brother insulated room and put double doors on so he can use tractor to lift out skids with boxes when he goes to markets. We also now have a second cooler that was an old oil rig office. We use it to sell produce out of at farm in front of property so we don’t half to move vegetables, just close the doors. It is also cooked with air conditioner 12x20 feet. Also gives us extra storage. Customers really like it. We used a metal 3 sided animal shelter before. Lot less work now. Thanks for your freezer evaluation. When we were kids we had 4 of 8 feet long freezers. We used for beef,pork,chicken and bread. There were 9 kids and 2 adults.

Agreed Pete, i think if you were to double or triple your farm size then it would be a good idea for a walk in, but like you said this works for you and your farm and it gets the job done with less waste. I think more of the supermarkets that constantly go through produce and food they would need a large area to organize everything.

Pete needed a large amount of freezers all at once to handle his upcoming butcher visits so he bought them as a group. In a smaller farm situation, when you can scale up more slowly, freezers can be purchased in January for as little as 50% of the full price. Getting one or two freezers per year at $400 or even $600 each would be a huge savings.
