Air Cooled System (Walk in cooler system) - Not recommended for runs over 25 feet.
Keep the walk in cooler door closed at all times. If the door needs to be open, use clear plastic curtains to prevent cold air from being lost when door is open.
Use 20-25 PSI as a target applied pressure for blended gas
Impeller blower must be sized properly for good air circulation. It is not recommended to have more than two - 90 degree bends.
