French term
Congelateur (compared with Surgelateur)
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Manufacturing
Types of industrial freezer
A list of acceptable temperature ranges
Congelateur = -15 to -25 oC
Surgelateur = lower than -70 oC
it isnt a 'chambre froid' (range provided is 8-15 oC) or a 'frigo'(range given is 2-8 oC)
I dont know what the best/most commonly used phrases to use for enclosures at these temperatures would be in an industrial context.
TIA

freezer (industrial freezer - super/ultra/heavy duty freezer)
According to Wikipedia (France), the freezing of food in a domestic freezer cannot be compared to the industrial freezing of food. The techniques used in industry expose the product to temperatures ranging between -35 and -196 degrees centigrade. Industrial freezing generally allows food to be stored twice as long.
