How is the Gladiator refrigerator built so that it can be used in a garage as compared to a regular refrigerator?


The Gladiator Garage Works "Freezerator" is a freezer with a top compartment
that is convertible to a refrigerator or freezer. The Freezerator is designed
to operate properly in the temperatures often found in a typical garage.

Freezerator's sealed system uses a larger capacity compressor, an
increased refrigerant charge, more fins on the evaporator, and a faster speed
evaporator fan motor. These changes allow Freezerator to operate properly in
higher than normal ambient temperatures.

Other sealed system changes include a suction line accumulator that allows the
unit to operate safely in low ambient temperatures, and a heat loop that
surrounds both compartments.

The rated ambient operating temperature of Freezerator is from 20 to 110 degrees
Fahrenheit. Operation as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit is possible if the top
compartment is operated either in the freezer mode, or is set to the WARM
refrigerator position.
