Bar refrigerator TEFCOLD BA31S-3

A backbar cooler keeps bottled and canned drinks chilled for immediate service behind a bar. It draws heat from the interior with a refrigerant that circulates through a coil, then expels the heat at the rear. A fan moves air across the coil and through the cabinet, distributing the cold evenly and preventing warm spots. The process runs continuously, maintaining the set temperature without freezing the drinks or causing condensation on the bottles. The operator loads the shelves with stock, sets the thermostat between +2 °C and +10 °C, and closes the double-glazed doors. An LED light switches on automatically when the door opens, illuminating the contents without adding heat. The reversible doors can be hinged on either side to suit the bar layout. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, and the variable-speed compressor adjusts its output to match the cooling demand, reducing energy use during quiet periods. The cabinet is lined with insulation and finished in stainless steel. Six chrome-plated wire shelves support bottles and cans without blocking airflow. The double-glazed doors retain the cold and reduce external condensation. A 288-litre volume provides space for up to 380 cans of 330 ml or 218 bottles of 500 ml, organised in visible rows for quick selection. Controls consist of a thermostat dial that sets the target temperature within the +2 °C to +10 °C range. The LED light operates on the door circuit and requires no separate setting. A 0.125 kW power rating indicates a modest load on the electrical supply, suitable for a standard 220-240 V single-phase circuit. The 94 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people. A footprint of 1350 mm width by 515 mm depth fits behind most bar counters, while the 900 mm height allows bottles to be reached without stooping. The chrome wire shelves and glass doors wipe clean in seconds, keeping the backbar ready for the next rush without lingering odours or sticky residues. The wire shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning. The condenser coil at the rear should be vacuumed periodically to maintain airflow. The reversible doors can be switched from left to right if the bar layout changes. The BA31S-3 is a single model with no variants. It is placed in the catalogue under Bar Refrigeration, Backbar Coolers.
