Hi friends, I have a Haier BD-100GB chest freezer. I would like to know how much is its capacity in kg, i.e. how many kilograms maximum can I put inside? usually the instructions describe the volume (L), in this case about 200, but it is the volume. I want to know the flow rate in kilograms20230824_135111.jpg

would you not be better off conacting the manufacturer ?
what do you mena by flow rate ? these things are normaly intended for food to go inside and be stored for months, not much of a flow.
as for weight, again these things are desinged for food, so weigh a few litres of food, and then measure its weight would be a good start.
The old chest freezers i have seen , are desinged for a distributed load, and are quiet flimsey inside, so Id not expect a point load . I have seen these thigns full of water, and used for a cool bath, but thats I gues snot a recomended usage.

Freezers are commonly described by volume capacity only. Certainly there is a maximum weight of contents that they can support.
There is also a heat removal specification, either in BTUs per hour or perhaps Kilo-Calories per hour. Those values are seldom given although they can be estimated based on the capacity of the cooling system.
So if the question is about heat flow rate, the answer depends on the specific capabilities of the refrigeration system.

non sarebbe meglio contattare il produttore?
cosa intendi per portata? queste cose sono normalmente destinate al cibo per entrare e essere conservato per mesi, non molto flusso.
per quanto riguarda il peso, anche in questo caso queste cose sono destinate al cibo, quindi pesare qualche litro di cibo e poi misurarne il peso sarebbe un buon inizio.
I vecchi congelatori a pozzetto che ho visto, sono progettati per un carico distribuito e sono silenziosi e fragili all'interno, quindi non mi aspetto un carico concentrato. Ho visto queste cose piene d'acqua e usate per un bagno fresco, ma immagino che non sia un uso consigliato.

sì, intendo il carico massimo in kg che il congelatore può supportare. Come peso massimo penso che 100 kg vadano bene (devo congelare l'acqua per le bevande), quindi 100 kg possono reggere?

I congelatori sono comunemente descritti solo in base alla capacità volumetrica. Certamente esiste un peso massimo dei contenuti che possono supportare.
Esiste anche una specifica per la rimozione del calore, in BTU all'ora o forse in kilocalorie all'ora. Questi valori vengono raramente forniti, sebbene possano essere stimati in base alla capacità del sistema di raffreddamento.
Quindi, se la domanda riguarda il flusso di calore, la risposta dipende dalle capacità specifiche del sistema di refrigerazione.

any chance of a translation that your happy with please
yes, I mean the maximum load in kg that the freezer can support. As a maximum weight I think 100kg is fine (I have to freeze water for drinks), so can 100kg hold? However, since the night brings advice, I got the idea of testing the flow rate based on cm^2/kg, so how much pressure does it hold for each cm^2? I have already done the test and it results 2kg/cm^2 so I hope it can hold 100kg, do you agree with my test?

That is a reasonable number, but it is probably important that the weight be distributed evenly on the bottom of the freezer. Also, certainly that much weight must be applied gently, not dropped in.
One caution is that the load should be spread fully among the support feet on the bottom of the freezer.
I suggest that you observe the lid closure after filling it to verify that the body has not become distorted. That can happen if a freezer is sitting on an uneven cement floor.
