Evening,
We own two 8x16 sea containers that we plan on utilizing for refrigeration and for grain storage and milling. I will be insulating the inside of both with a closed cell spray foam. I have an email off to pro refrigeration for their input.
I have gathered that for the grain container we will need adequate mechanical ventilation and electrical care for grain dust explosion hazards. Any ventilation systems anyone would recommend? Any suggestions for proper electrical installations of lights, outlets etc? Will proper mechanical ventilation eliminate grain dust hazard?
On the cooler front if I insulate it well, a high efficiency condenser is what I need to cool the container right? New or used?
Has anyone out there in forum land used sea containers retrofitted for these uses? My partner payed $2000 for each sea container. At cost I can insulate @ R-40 (5.5" closed cell foam) and air/vapor seal both containers for Max. $3000.00.
<$7000.00 total before refrigeration condenser and grain dust ventilation. Is this this money well spent? **Space is a commodity for our project and the sea containers were already purchased.
Thx!
