Walk-in coolers are basically refrigerated cooling rooms that have a heavy steel door in them. The refrigeration system is somewhat similar to any air conditioning system, and it may also use air filters that are similar to HVAC filter products. These stainless-steel shelves can be used to maximize the entire store which is very important for any restaurant to function properly because obviously, one cannot install more than one walk-in to a restaurant to store everything. A walk-in freezer is typically installed in an adjoining room with its own sealed door.
