![]() ![]() I've heard, but not confirmed, that doubling up your walls really helps isolation as well. If you have two that are set at the same temp, they'll both continiously draw high power and keep flicking between high and low when the temp starts dancing between -10C and -9C. Strangely enough I netted a difference of only 1 degrees by adding the second door to double-walled tests (not published). But once -10C is reached, one is guaranteed to only require low power. I make individual Freezers for meat, veggies,meals, and animals to be butchered. This way when a pawn goes into your freezer by the time they get to the inner door the outer door is closed, thus limiting temp run off. That way you have two coolers working when there's a large cooling difference, making cooling of a large room easier. Place the outer door on the left side of the wall and on the inner place the door on the right side. If they're set at -10C and -9C, they'll both start working hard if the temp isn't -9C, one will go into low power mode once -9C is reached and the other will work until -10C is reached. You can also try having two cooler units next to eachother, one set 1C above or below the other. So its smart to have a couple small zones set to meat/veggies. Meat lasts for a couple days at room temp. Equally important though, is the zones you have inside the kitchen, and your meal bills. It would also help if you set up a cooler for the sluice area, too. Butcher table is usually in the freezer, because the temperature penalty is negligible for the amount of work needed there. ![]() ![]() Single wall, double cooler now manages to maintain target temperature, but is empty. No difference in power consumption because in single cooler freezers itll always be on high power mode. Double walled, single cooler maintains target temperature. So if you make the sluice big enough to fit a bunch of meals and beers, only the haulers and cooks actually go into the freezer itself. Single walled, single cooler failed to maintain below freezing, let alone the target temperature. It also helps if you store the meals, beers and such in that sluice, to stop people from continiously opening the door to the actual freezer room. I think I read somewhere that metal or stone walls are better than wood at insulation. This way food in the freezer is frozen and the food in the kitchen is refrigerated and takes longer to spoil. This helps with the loss of temp when doors are opened. I mostly have my freezer at -8☌ and this also cools down my kitchen to <10☌. Make sure you use a sluice setup for the entrance to any cooling room. A temp of -1C is enough to freeze anything. ![]()
