How To Remove Freezer From Fridge

facter

Next week my lager will be finished and I'll accept an opportunity for a 24-hour interval to really attack my refrigerator and effort to remove the freezer component from it ... that said, im no electrician, and it worries me a little to be taking out the top part of the refrigerator.

has anyone done this and tin give me some advice? are in that location actualy electrical parts that demand to be removed or is it all pipage etc?

Im certain its a bit of a hard question if you havnt seen the fridge .. but by doing this I volition probably exist able to get two fermenters into it instead of just the one!

Hi Facter,
Most fridges with a freezer included rely on the freezer to provide "cool" for the fridge section.
I would get some serious communication from a fridgee before hacking it upwardly.
Thank you

Are you sure the gas doesn't become into the freezer? Mine doesn't have any electricals attached, but it actually provides the cooling for the fridge through coils that are a function of it.

I had a bar refrigerator in which all the cooling was washed past the freezer "element". It was a big metallic plate bent into a U sitting up the superlative (if you become me..) I but unbent the metallic bit and it kinda hangs out at the pinnacle of the bar fridge, giving enough headspace to fit in ii kegs and proceed them agree on the lowest (ie highest temperature) thermostat setting.

Betoken is, maybe u dont want to remove the freezer role, just redesign it

I actually asked this same question to a fridgie I know terminal week erstwhile... I was hoping to turn a little bar fridge I have into a fermenting fridge. He said it can't be done due to the fact that the freezer element is what keeps eveything cool... Take out the freezer and you lot just have a big box.

Cheers,
Andrew

Big Al has done this, search his posts for more than info.

damn. i guess it may be harder than i idea ... its a existent massive shame, as its the but spare fridge i accept, it just cant fit 2 fermenters. ... possibly i need to look at dissimilar sized fermenters instead of the regular tall skinny ones with the screw on taps ... does anyone know if anyone sells more flattish fermenters than those?

you lot might be right with the element thing though, mine looks like that kind of refrigerator ...

The Coopers fermenters are non every bit tall as the other ones they are a fleck rounder and fatter instead of tall.

How about i of those "cubes" some guys are using for no-arctic?

They are relatively flat. But dont use an airlock but loosen the chapeau.

cheers

Facter, I thought you might be interested in a slightly more technical view.
I was a fridgy in a by life.

Pretty much confirming what well-nigh of the guys have said.

In the newer fan forced fridges, the fan blows the cold air into the fridge via a duct. Removing the freezer will give yous a big esky. As Andrew said.

In the older cyclic defrost fridges, the refrigeration scroll runs through the freezer first so into the fridge section. To remove the freezer on an older fridge you would have to know a lot nigh what y'all are doing. To cut and re-weld the pipes would mean firstly removing all the gas, weld it and then recharging it with a smaller weight of gas that the fridge specifies (as you lot would be reducing the size of the refrigeration coil) this creates all sorts of problems that i wont bother going into.

Thank you
JT
