- Description
- Specifications for Outdoor Standalone Cooler for the Storage of Tree Seedlings Background Information: For long-term storage of tree seedlings, we require refrigerated storage unit that can maintain the trees at temperatures of 33 to 34 °F. The basic design of these coolers is fairly straightforward. The system has several evaporators with a hot gas bypass defrost. The evaporators are on different defrost cycles. When one evaporator is defrosting, its fan is off, and the hot gas melts the ice off the coils quickly. Meanwhile, another evaporator is operating, maintaining the temperature of the cooler. Ordinary coolers are not acceptable for long-term storage of tree stock because of the long defrost cycles.
