Drop-in cold well TEFCOLD CW2

A cooling well keeps prepared foods and chilled drinks at serving temperature without freezing them. Static cooling circulates cold air naturally around the well, maintaining a steady low temperature that preserves texture and flavour. The method avoids the drying effect of forced air, making it suitable for salads, snacks and bottled beverages that must stay crisp and refreshing until served. The CW2 is designed for self-service counters. The operator slides a standard GN1/1 gastronorm container into the well, sets the electronic thermostat to the desired temperature between +2 °C and +8 °C, and leaves the unit to run. The refrigerant, R600a, absorbs heat from the well and releases it at the rear, keeping the contents chilled without ice build-up. Customers lift the lid and help themselves without staff intervention. The seamless stainless-steel liner prevents flavour transfer between delicate salads and chilled drinks while the exterior resists the knocks of passing service trolleys. The well accepts a single GN1/1 container, which sits flush with the worktop for easy access. A 0.25 kW compressor provides the cooling power, drawing 220-240 V at 50 Hz from a standard single-phase circuit. The temperature range of +2 °C to +8 °C covers the safe holding zone for most chilled foods and drinks. The 68 L volume matches the capacity of a GN1/1 container, preventing overloading. At 44 kg, the unit is light enough to be moved by two people but heavy enough to stay stable on the counter. The footprint of 768 mm by 678 mm fits a standard worktop depth, leaving space for adjacent equipment. After service, the smooth surfaces let you lift grease and dressing spills with a single wipe, so the well is ready for the next batch of prepped ingredients. The well should be emptied and dried daily to prevent moisture build-up. The electronic thermostat requires no calibration, but the rear condenser should be kept free of dust to maintain cooling efficiency. The CW2 is a built-in tall marmite model, intended for drop-in installation in a counter or display unit. It is compatible with any GN1/1 container, though the container itself is not supplied. This model appears in the catalogue under refrigerated display and self-service equipment.
