Blue Air BSR23GP-HC 26" One-Section Glass Door Reach-In Refrigerator/Proofer, 23 cu. ft.
Blue Air BSR23GP-HC — 26" Single Glass Door Reach-In Refrigerator/Proofer
The Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration BSR23GP-HC is the glass door member of Blue Air's D-Series reach-in refrigerator/proofer line — a one-section cabinet just 26-13/16" wide that puts 23 cu. ft. of product behind a single full-height, locking glass door. Interior LED lighting turns that door into a lit merchandising window for finished pans and trays, while a bottom-mounted 1/4 HP R-290 hydrocarbon system and self-diagnostic digital control hold the cabinet's specified 56°F to 59°F band. The interior is sized for full size 18" x 26" sheet pans and full-size roll-in racks, and the whole unit rides on 4" swivel casters so it rolls clear of the wall for cleaning.
Key Features of the BSR23GP-HC
A glass door reach-in has to do three jobs at once — show the product, hold a stable temperature behind a pane that is worked all shift, and still fit through a kitchen door; here is how the BSR23GP-HC handles each.
Full-Height Locking Glass Door
One hinged full-height glass door fronts the whole 23 cu. ft. cabinet, so a cook or a customer reads every shelf without breaking the seal. Blue Air's hot gas frame heating system routes warm refrigerant through the door frame to suppress condensation on the glass instead of burning watts on an electric perimeter heater, and a door lock is standard. The door is self-closing at 90° or less and holds itself open at 110° for loading, with lifetime-guaranteed Ni-Cr plated all-metal handles and an easy-replacement gasket.
LED Interior Lighting for Merchandising
Interior LED lighting is standard, so labels and product read clearly through the glass without pushing the heat load of legacy lamps back into the box. The cabinet conforms to NSF/ANSI 7 (ETL), the sanitation standard written for refrigerated food display and merchandising equipment, which is what lets this cabinet sit on a service floor rather than only in the back of house.
Self-Diagnostic Digital Control, 56°F ~ 59°F
A self-diagnostic digital temperature control and monitor system runs the cabinet, with a digital display for at-a-glance checks and a manual defrost command built into the controls for easy maintenance. Blue Air specifies this proofer-configured cabinet for a 56°F to 59°F band — the dough-retarding and holding range — rather than the cold-holding band of the standard BSR23G-HC glass door refrigerator built on the same cabinet, so confirm the variant matches the temperature your product needs.
Visual and Audible Door-Open Alarm
If the glass door is left short of fully closed, the cabinet raises both a visual and an audible alarm rather than quietly drifting warm overnight. On a merchandising door that gets opened dozens of times a service, that is the single feature that most often prevents a spoilage loss, and it pairs with the pressure-relieved door design that lets the door reopen easily instead of being pulled against vacuum.
Four Adjustable Shelves, Full-Size Pans and Roll-In Racks
Four epoxy-coated wire shelves adjust on height increments across the single compartment, and the interior is designed to accept full size 18"L x 26"D bun and sheet pans. The same cabinet is built to take a full-size roll-in rack, so a loaded rack can go straight in from the bench without pan-by-pan transfer; additional shelves are available if you want the box run as fixed shelving instead.
R-290 System with Cyclopentane Insulation
The bottom-mounted self-contained system charges R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which Blue Air states raises energy efficiency by up to 25% versus HFC refrigerants with no ozone-depletion potential, and the cabinet is foamed with cyclopentane insulation that contains no HFCs. The evaporator is electrodeposition coated to hold its heat-transfer rate and resist corrosion over the life of the unit, and the condensing unit slides out for service while a bottom-mounted condensate pan handles water without overflow.
Measure the doorway, not just the wall: the BSR23GP-HC stands 82-7/8" (2105 mm) tall on its standard 4" casters, so a standard 80" door frame will not clear it upright — plan to remove the casters for the move-in or route the unit through a wider opening. Footprint is 26-13/16" wide by 31-9/64" deep (681 x 791 mm) before the door swing, and the bottom-mounted condensing unit pulls air at floor level, so leave the base kick clear. Net weight is 271 lbs and it ships at 306 lbs.
Ideal Applications
A single-section glass door cabinet with a proofing-range control goes where product has to be both held at dough temperature and seen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature does the Blue Air BSR23GP-HC hold?
Blue Air specifies this cabinet for a 56°F to 59°F range, which is the dough-retarding and proofing band rather than a cold-holding band. That is what the P in BSR23GP-HC denotes — it is the refrigerator/proofer configuration of the glass door reach-in. If you need a 26" glass door reach-in for cold food storage instead, the BSR23G-HC is the standard refrigerator version of the same cabinet.
How many pans and shelves does this glass door reach-in hold?
The single 23 cu. ft. compartment ships with four adjustable epoxy-coated wire shelves, and the interior is dimensioned for full size 18"L x 26"D bun and sheet pans. It is also designed to accept a full-size roll-in rack, so you can wheel a loaded rack in rather than transferring pan by pan, and additional shelves are available from Blue Air if you prefer fixed shelving.
Will the BSR23GP-HC fit through a standard kitchen doorway?
Not upright on its casters — overall height is 82-7/8" (2105 mm), which exceeds a standard 80" door opening. Plan to remove the 4" casters for the move-in, tip the cabinet, or route it through a wider opening. The footprint itself is compact at 26-13/16" wide by 31-9/64" deep, so once it is in place it occupies about the same floor area as a single-section solid door reach-in.
Does the glass door fog up, and can it be locked?
Blue Air uses a hot gas frame heating system that circulates warm refrigerant through the door frame to reduce condensation, which is more energy efficient than an electric anti-sweat heater. Door locks are standard on this model, the door is self-closing at 90° or less and holds open at 110° for loading, and a visual and audible alarm sounds if the door is not fully closed.
What electrical service does the BSR23GP-HC need?
The 1/4 HP bottom-mounted system runs on a standard 115V/60Hz single-phase circuit and draws only 2.0 amps, terminating in a NEMA 5-15P plug on a 9.8 ft (3 m) three-wire cord with a molded plug. No dedicated high-amperage circuit or hard wiring is required, which makes it straightforward to place on a service floor or in a bakery prep area.
Is R-290 refrigerant a problem for a commercial kitchen?
No — R-290 is a hydrocarbon refrigerant used in a small, sealed, factory-charged circuit, and Blue Air states it improves energy efficiency by up to 25% over HFC refrigerants while causing no ozone depletion. The BSR23GP-HC is cETLus listed and ETL-Sanitation listed and conforms to NSF/ANSI 7 (ETL), so it is certified for commercial food-service use in the United States and Canada.
