|
|
Interested in building your own walk-in cooler or fermentation chamber? The CoolBot allows a standard window air conditioner to cool a room or space to 34 F!
Standard A/C units available from any hardware or appliance store have lots of power but they are electronically limited so that they cannot go below 60 degrees F. This is because they would freeze up. Commercial refrigeration for walk in coolers combat freeze with increased surface area on the fins as well as fans. Instead the Coolbot uses multiple sensors, a heating element and programmed micro-controller to control your air conditioner in such a way that the unit can go below 60F and not freeze up. The Coolbot cannot give you 100% of the BTUs listed on your air conditioner nor is suitable for large brewery or winery walk ins. It is perfect for wine cellars, beer storage, fermentation, etc.
Easy to install within 30 minutes with no tools or electrical knowledge required. While we can't tell you exactly what size space you can cool because of ambient temperatures and insulation factors, we recommend you google Coolbot. They have sold over 35,000 of these so there are lots of reviews and actual installs out there.
