Syukur 1 Report post Posted July 7, 2011 Hi all,I would like to seek some advise. I am planning to put an approximately 200litres capacity fridge inside my store room/bomb shelter.The question is, is there sufficient ventilation? Or it will be too stuffy & hot? I don want to either spoil the fridge, or to foot high utilities bill.Kindly advise me. Is it ok? Or do I need to put those ventilation fan? Where exactly do I put it?Thank u in advance friends, for your invaluable inputs.. Have a good day.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archenemy 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2011 its also a first for me. all fridges need some ventilation for the compressor to cool down dude...no way of putting a ventilation fan because you are not supposed to drill any holes on any of the bomb shelter doors...let alone ventilate it...200L? so i guess you are putting your 2nd fridge inside? or maybe a wine chiller?

neubie 2 Report post Posted July 7, 2011 Not good idea. The ventilation is not so much on cooling the compressor, but to allow thermal dissipation of the heated liquid refrigerant. in no time he enclosed storeroom will be warm n humid, due to condensation water evaporated in the air. Cooling efficiency will be low, compressor lifespan short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syukur 1 Report post Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks all for the kind input.. Yeah archenemy, 2nd fridge for me.. Wifey doing some home base bakery.. So I guess somehow no solution for it? Guess have to just leave the door open? So due to the humidity in the store room, my other storage in the store room will also be affected? Mind u, I also put baking ingredients in the store room.. No choice, kitchen cabinet almost full..I have to stock up on thirsty hippo then.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snake 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2011 I have a 2nd fridge in my utility room but it's not a bomb shelter. The utility room opens out to the service yard and we never leave the door close so I supposed I don't have the ventilation problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
