Blue Air BLUR72-D4RL-HC 72" Undercounter Refrigerator, 4 Drawers with Center Swing Door
Blue Air BLUR72-D4RL-HC — 72" Undercounter Refrigerator with Four Drawers and a Center Door
The Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration BLUR72-D4RL-HC is a three-section undercounter refrigerator that splits its 72-3/8" body into two drawer banks on the outer ends and a single self-closing swing door in the middle. That layout gives a cook line 20.2 cu. ft. of 33 °F to 39 °F storage where the fast-moving product sits in four drawers within arm's reach, while the shelved center compartment holds the bulk items. A rear-mounted self-contained system running R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant keeps the whole cabinet on temperature under a 1/4 HP compressor.
Key Features of the BLUR72-D4RL-HC
The drawer-door-drawer arrangement is what separates this model from the rest of the BLUR 72" range, and it changes how a station is organized.
Four Drawers, Two on Each End
The left and right sections each carry two drawers deep enough for 6" pans, so line cooks reach product from waist height instead of bending into a cabinet. Splitting the drawers across both ends lets two stations work the same undercounter at once without crossing hands.
Self-Closing Center Swing Door
The middle section keeps a full-height self-closing swing door with two adjustable epoxy-coated wire shelves behind it, which is where cases, tubs and taller containers go. A lifetime-guaranteed Ni-Cr plated metal handle and an easily replaced gasket handle the traffic a center door sees.
R-290 Refrigerant, HFC-Free Foam
A 1/4 HP self-contained condensing unit sits at the rear on R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which carries no ozone depletion potential. Cyclopentane insulation in the walls is likewise free of hydrofluorocarbons.
Digital Control with Open-Door Alarm
A self-diagnostic digital temperature control and monitor system reports cabinet temperature on the display and includes manual defrost for maintenance. Visual and audible alarms sound whenever a drawer or the center door is left ajar, so a busy service does not end in spoiled product.
Rear Air Guard for Even Cooling
An air guard on the rear wall routes circulation the full 72-3/8" length so the far drawer bank holds the same 33 °F to 39 °F as the section next to the compressor. An electrodeposition-coated evaporator keeps its heat-transfer rate and resists corrosion over the life of the coil.
Hot Gas Frame Heating
Rather than an electric heater, the cabinet frame is warmed by hot discharge gas from the refrigeration circuit. That suppresses condensation around the drawer and door openings while reusing heat the system already produces.
Check your rough opening: the 30" depth on the cutsheet excludes 3" for the door handle and rear spacers, and the 30-29/32" height excludes 5" for the casters — the cabinet stands roughly 35-29/32" tall on its wheels. Because the condensing unit is rear-mounted on an easy-sliding tray, keep the back face reachable rather than boxing it in tight.
Ideal Applications
A three-section chassis with drawers at both ends suits stations where two cooks share one run of undercounter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the RL in BLUR72-D4RL-HC mean?
It describes where the drawers sit. On the BLUR72-D4RL-HC the four drawers are split between the right and left sections — two per side — leaving the center section as a single self-closing swing door. The related BLUR72-D4RM-HC groups its drawers differently, so check the layout code against the way your line is set up before ordering.
How many shelves come with this undercounter refrigerator?
Two adjustable epoxy-coated wire shelves ship with the unit, both intended for the center door compartment. The drawer sections do not use shelves; they take 6" deep food pans instead. Additional shelves are available separately from Blue Air if you reconfigure the cabinet later.
Will the BLUR72-D4RL-HC fit under a standard 36" counter?
The cabinet body measures 30-29/32" high and adds 5" for the 4" casters, putting the working top near 35-29/32". That slips under a standard 36" countertop, but Blue Air also offers 2.5" casters if you need to drop the height further for a tight undercounter opening.
Does this unit need a special electrical connection?
No. The BLUR72-D4RL-HC runs on a standard 115 V / 60 Hz single-phase circuit and draws 5.2 amps. A 9.8 ft (3 m) flexible three-wire cord with a molded NEMA 5-15P plug is factory fitted, so it plugs into an ordinary receptacle.
Is R-290 refrigerant a problem for a commercial kitchen?
R-290 is a natural hydrocarbon used in a small, sealed factory charge and is the refrigerant the industry has moved to as HFCs are phased down. It has no ozone depletion potential and improves efficiency compared with the HFC blends it replaces. The system carries cETLus and ETL-Sanitation listings and conforms to NSF/ANSI 7.
How do I keep the drawers and door sealing properly?
The door is self-closing and the gaskets are designed for tool-free replacement, so a torn gasket is a quick swap rather than a service call. Wipe the gasket channels down on the same schedule as the interior, and rely on the open-door alarm to flag a drawer that is not latching before the temperature drifts.
