More horsepower means a refrigerator’s storage space cools quickly and stays cold despite constant door opening. This is vital for food safety, and NFS regulations require commercial kitchens to store food products at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bottom vs. Top Mounted Compressors
The compressor is the engine of a commercial reach in refrigerator. Keeping this engine working effectively and efficiently requires a combination of maintenance and environment. Some compressors work better in certain environments than others, and purchasing the right unit for the job and location you have in mind is an important decision.
Commercial reach-in refrigerators are made with either a top or bottom mounted compressor. Top mounted and bottom mounted compressors have advantages and disadvantages, and it’s important to make your purchasing decision based on where and how you plan to use the refrigerator.
Bottom mounted reach ins:
- Are more efficient in hot environments because the compressor is on the floor, where it is cooler
- Occupies some storage space, but bottom shelves are higher, and easier to reach
- Should not be used where lots of flour (like a bakery) or dust is present as the compressor will clog easily
Top mounted reach ins:
- Have better compressor airflow than a bottom mounted unit, making them more efficient. However, this only applies in a cooler environment
- Less accessible for cleaning and service, but does not take up storage space.
- Perform better in dusty environments or where a lot of flour is present (like a bakery)

Commercial reach in Hoshizaki refrigeration come in three configurations: one door, two door, and three door. Doors can also be halved for more compartmentalized storage. When considering what size reach in refrigerator is right for your commercial kitchen, keep in mind that the larger the unit, the more energy it will consume.
Energy Star has begun rating commercial reach in refrigerators. Use the Energy Star guide to identify units that are the most energy efficient.
Of course, energy usage must be weighed against the amount of storage space you need. Probably the most efficient way to organize your refrigerated storage space is in gradually smaller units the closer you get to the hottest part of the kitchen: the production line.
Start with a walk in for bulk storage, then a two or three door reach in refrigerator stocked with daily or weekly supplies, and finish with a one door reach in refrigerator nearest the line for quick and easy access by kitchen staff.
All commercial reach in refrigerators have thick insulation to maximize efficiency and cool air holding power. Stainless steel interiors are more expensive than aluminum or galvanized ones, but are stain and rust resistant, can withstand heavy use, and are much easier to clean and sanitize.
