R-value means, in respect of a walk-in panel and a walk-in door assembly, its thermal resistance, expressed in square metre kelvins per watt. (valeur-R)
- single-package dedicated system
single-package dedicated system means a single-package refrigeration system that has
(a) one or more compressors, one condenser and a means of forced circulation of refrigerated air; and
(b) components by which heat is transferred from air to refrigerant without any components that are external to the system imposing resistance to the flow of the refrigerated air. (système dédié monobloc)
