Hi Mathew,

In the Rugby club we have a walk-in fridge about 3m x 2m and 2.4m high. It is cooled by a 1kW external compressor/heat exchanger.

That gives you the idea of the cooling power you would need. Suggest you contact a fridge/air-con engineer they may be able to help. All you really need is the electrics/heat-exchanger/cooling coils. The structure can be 3X2 timber and Kingspan.

Remeber to insulate the floor! Ours insn't!

HTH!

We had one installed in work which sounds similar to Will's - basically an insulated room with a cooler unit. I think lough construction (02892648179) installed it for us.

I'll try and get more details tomorrow but you're welcome to come and have a look anytime!
