Reefer/Freezer in Garage?

[jw]

I now have a reefer with freezer and a separate upright freezer in my partially heated/insulated garage. I try to keep the temperature in cold weather at 50-60 degrees.

Will they work okay?

Thanks

Why are you smoking reefers?

FUNNY!

At that temp they ought to work just fine. The problems come when you get to temps colder than the box or really hot ambient temps.

I'm not sure which, but processing reefer is definitely a different newsgroup.

Why wouldn't a fridge or freezer work perfectly fine in a 50-60 deg environment? It's perfectly fine. The problems come when it approaching freezing or so hot it can't keep up.

I don't get it? Is the freezer used as a humidor for the reefers? Must be some good shit!

The real problem is when it is about 40f The ambient allows the fridge to make the stat without the compressor running and the freezer thaws out.

Well, someone on usenet said it would not. However, your freezer doesn't read Usenet. What comes to mind to me, is that the compressor lubricating oil gets sluggish at lower temps.

[Stormin Mormon]

Pretty close to what I'd have said.

Roger,

I have a deep freeze in my unheated and uninsulated attached garage. This is in SE Iowa where it gets below zero sometimes. Although I have never checked the temperature in the garage, I would guess that it gets below 32 degrees F several times a year. The freezer has worked fine for six years in this location. Do you know of any reason that it shouldn't?

Cheers,

Don

Of it is freezer only, no problem but as the Stormin Mormin and I have pointed out, it is when the refrigerator thermostat turns off the compressor before the freezer is cold enough. In a warmer place, that is not a problem.

No manufacturer would put an algorithm in a refrigerator. Too expensive.

Agree that was the analysis in previous threads. In many 'fridges' that also have a freezer section if/when the fridge is placed in say a garage or cool location, the thermostat being normally in the fridge section of the appliance and depending on a balancing of air flow between two sections, under normal 'house' conditions may not operate the appliance for long sufficiently long for the freezer section to stay cold enough! A freezer with its one thermosta controlling the whole unit should be, based on our expereience too, quite OK.

And btw the OP of this thread says reefer and freezer; not fridge (refrigerator).

nsive.

If you put an algorithm in the refrigerator you should let it warm up to room temperature before you run it.

When they're cold they get sluggish and can slow your computer down.

They do keep longer though. I've got some old DOS batch files that are as fresh as the day I wrote them.

Hey, is that where the term "code freeze" came from?

Yeah, I know, completely OT. ;^)
