How Commercial Single Door Back Bar Bottle Coolers Work

These clever units work on a forced air refrigeration system that maintains consistent temperatures between 2-10°C throughout the cabinet. The compressor (usually tucked away at the bottom) pushes chilled air around the interior, keeping bottles uniformly cold regardless of their position on the shelves. Most models feature double or triple-glazed glass doors that showcase your drinks while maintaining temperature efficiency. Internal LED lighting illuminates your bottles beautifully, while adjustable shelving allows for flexible storage of different bottle heights. The entire system runs automatically with digital temperature controls, maintaining perfect serving temperatures with minimal fuss!
