Blue Air BLUR72-D2L-HC 72" Undercounter Refrigerator, 2 Left Drawers and 2 Swing Doors
Blue Air BLUR72-D2L-HC — 72" Three-Section Undercounter Refrigerator, Drawers Left, Doors Right
The BLUR72-D2L-HC is Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration's full-length lowboy: 20.2 cu. ft. held between 33 °F and 39 °F across a 72-3/8" three-section stainless cabinet. The layout is deliberately asymmetric — a two-drawer bank on the left for 6" pans, then two self-closing swing doors covering the middle and right sections with four adjustable shelves behind them. A rear-mounted 1/4 HP self-contained system charged with R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant keeps all three sections on temperature from a single 115 V cord.
Key Features of the BLUR72-D2L-HC
Six feet of undercounter line is a lot of cold storage to organize, and every detail on the BLUR72-D2L-HC is aimed at keeping three sections working as one station.
Left-Hand Drawer Bank for 6" Pans
The leftmost section is given over to two drawers, each built to take a 6" deep food pan, so the items a cook reaches for every ticket sit at the end of the run nearest the range. Metal drawer handles are fitted throughout rather than plastic pulls that crack after a season of service.
Two Self-Closing Swing Doors
The middle and right sections each get a full self-closing swing door, so a cook who lets go mid-reach does not leave a section open. Door handles are heavy-duty all-metal, Ni-Cr plated and guaranteed for the life of the unit, and the durable gasket is designed for quick replacement without a service call.
Four Adjustable Epoxy-Coated Shelves
Two epoxy-coated wire shelves per door compartment — four in total — ride on adjustable supports so shelf height can follow the case sizes you actually buy. Blue Air sells additional shelves if you want to break the 20.2 cu. ft. into tighter layers.
Hot Gas Frame Heating
An innovative hot gas frame heating system routes discharge gas through the cabinet frame instead of running an electric perimeter heater. That keeps condensation off the door and drawer frames on a humid line and puts waste heat to work rather than adding load.
R-290 Refrigerant, HFC-Free Cabinet
The rear-mounted self-contained 1/4 HP system runs on R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which causes no ozone depletion. Cyclopentane foam insulation means there are no hydrofluorocarbons in the walls either, and the electrodeposition-coated evaporator holds its heat transfer rate and resists corrosion over the life of the coil.
Digital Control with Open Alarm
A self-diagnostic digital temperature control and monitor system reports cabinet temperature on a front-mounted display and includes manual defrost for scheduled maintenance. Visual and audible alarms sound whenever a door or drawer is not fully closed — worth having on a cabinet with four separate openings.
Planning a 72" opening: the 30" published depth excludes 3" for the door handle and rear spacers, and the 30-29/32" cabinet height excludes 5" for the standard casters, putting the unit at roughly 35-29/32" on its wheels. Because the drawers sit on the left and the compressor is rear mounted on an easy-sliding tray, plan the run so the drawer end faces the cook and the back stays reachable for service.
Ideal Applications
A full-length three-section lowboy earns its place under a working line, not in a corner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the BLUR72-D2L-HC and the D2R version?
The suffix tells you which end of the cabinet the drawers occupy. On the BLUR72-D2L-HC the two-drawer bank is on the left and the two self-closing swing doors take the middle and right sections; the D2R build mirrors that with the drawers on the right. Capacity, dimensions and refrigeration are the same, so choose the side that puts the drawers closest to where your cook actually works.
How many pans and shelves do you get in 20.2 cu. ft.?
The two left-hand drawers are each sized for a 6" deep food pan. Behind the two swing doors you get four epoxy-coated wire shelves, two per compartment, all on adjustable supports. That gives you drawer access for prepped mise en place and full-height shelving for cases and tall containers in the same 72-3/8" cabinet.
Will the BLUR72-D2L-HC fit under a standard 36" counter?
The cabinet body measures 30-29/32" tall and the standard 4" swivel casters add about 5", so the installed height is roughly 35-29/32". That slides under a typical 36" countertop with a narrow margin. Blue Air lists 2.5" casters as an option if the opening is tighter or the floor is uneven.
What electrical connection does this 72" undercounter refrigerator need?
A single standard 115 V / 60 Hz single-phase receptacle. The BLUR72-D2L-HC draws 5.2 amps and arrives with a 9.8 ft (3 m) flexible three-wire cord and a NEMA 5-15P plug already fitted, so no hard-wiring or dedicated high-amperage circuit is required for the whole 72" run.
How does the cabinet keep condensation off the door and drawer frames?
Blue Air uses a hot gas frame heating system that circulates discharge gas through the frame rather than relying on an electric heater wire. Combined with the air guard on the rear wall that spreads circulation across all three sections and the self-closing doors, it keeps frames dry and temperature even on a humid line.
How much does the BLUR72-D2L-HC weigh and how is it serviced?
Net weight is 282 lbs (128 kg) and it ships at 351 lbs (159 kg), so plan on a lift gate and two people for placement. The self-contained condensing unit is rear mounted on an easy-sliding tray and the four swivel casters let you roll the cabinet out, so routine coil cleaning and compressor service do not require pulling the counter apart.
