freezer unit

Industrial refrigeration compartment

A freezer unit is a self-contained appliance or compartment designed to keep food frozen, typically at temperatures below 0°F (−18°C).

The term often distinguishes a standalone freezer from one built into a refrigerator: We keep the extra meat in the freezer unit in the garage.

In commercial contexts, freezer units may be walk-in cold storage rooms.
