So I have taken the plunge and purchased a F&P freezer 2nd hand (215L) plus all the taps and hardware to make a collared Keezer.
I am still deciding whether to incorporate it into a bar build or have it as a stand alone feature behind the new bar (leaning towards stand alone).
One of my concerns with either option is the space required to allow for convection cooling of the coils? This particular freezer runs coils in the top half of the front and sides within the wall of the freezer rather than the traditional coils in with the compressor.
With that in mind, what sort of space do the good folk of AHB suggest is a minimum between the freezer walls and the cabinet cladding?
Undecided as yet to material for the cladding but there are 3 options- timber, corrugated iron or the micro orb iron with holes in it (figure this would be lighter and allow airflow.
