This might not be a relatable question to anyone who doesn’t work in food service or otherwise have regular access to large walk-in freezers. When the air temperature outside is warm (or even in commercial kitchens, hot) going into the walki-in cooler or freezer can be a refreshing respite from the heat. But when the seasons shift and the air temps start to get colder, it feels like the same walk-ins are almost bitingly cold. Why does it feel colder in there when I’m already cold than when I’m hot?

It’s possible there’s something wrong with the system. Refrigeration is pumping heat from cold to hot. So it takes more work to do the pumping on a hot day. It is possible that the walk in is literally slightly warmer on a hot day because it can’t reject enough heat under those conditions. It shouldn’t be like this, but it is possible if the condenser is undersized or something is not working properly.
