Blue Air BSR23T-L-HC 23 cu. ft. One-Section Reach-In Refrigerator, Left-Hinged Solid Door
Blue Air BSR23T-L-HC — 23 cu. ft. Single-Door Reach-In Refrigerator
The Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration BSR23T-L-HC is a one-section reach-in refrigerator that packs 23 cu. ft. of stainless steel storage into a 26-13/16" wide cabinet. Its solid door is factory hinged on the left and locks, and a top-mounted self-contained condensing unit keeps the compressor clear of floor-level grease and dust. R-290 hydrocarbon refrigeration paired with HFC-free cyclopentane insulation holds product between 33 °F and 39 °F, and the unit carries an ENERGY STAR rating.
Key Features of the BSR23T-L-HC
This is a workhorse single-section cooler, and the details that matter are the ones that keep it holding temperature and staying serviceable year after year.
Left-Hinged Locking Solid Door
The BSR23T-L-HC ships with its single solid door hinged on the left and a standard lock fitted. The door is self-closing at 90° or less, holds itself open automatically at 110°, and uses pressure relievers plus lifetime-guaranteed Ni-Cr plated all-metal handles so it opens easily even right after a close.
Four Adjustable Epoxy-Coated Shelves
Four epoxy-coated wire shelves adjust on the cabinet standards to suit sheet pans, cambros or case goods, and an air guard on the rear wall keeps circulation even from top shelf to bottom.
R-290 Refrigeration, Top Mounted
A 1/4 HP self-contained system mounts on top of the cabinet and runs on R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which Blue Air rates as up to 25% more energy efficient than an HFC charge and has no ozone depletion potential. Cyclopentane insulation in the walls is likewise HFC-free.
Self-Diagnostic Digital Control
A digital temperature control and monitor system reads out cabinet temperature on the front display and includes manual defrost, so a shift lead can verify holding temperature and clear the coil without a service call.
Visual & Audible Door Open Alarm
If the door is left ajar, the unit alerts the crew both on the display and audibly before the cabinet warms — a straightforward guard against overnight spoilage in a 23 cu. ft. box of product.
Built to Stay Efficient
An electrodeposition-coated evaporator maintains its heat transfer rate and resists corrosion over the life of the unit, while a hot gas frame heating system cuts door-frame condensation instead of burning watts on an electric heater. The unit is ENERGY STAR rated.
Measuring for your kitchen: the cabinet is 26-13/16" wide, 33-11/32" deep and 81-31/32" tall — check doorway and ceiling height before delivery, and leave room above and behind for the top-mounted condensing unit, which slides out for service. The "-L-" in the model number designates the left-hand hinged door, so confirm the swing direction you need before ordering.
Ideal Applications
A single-section reach-in is the standard unit of cold storage in almost every commercial kitchen, and this width fits where a two-section will not.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "-L-" mean in the BSR23T-L-HC model number?
It designates the hinge side: this unit's single solid door is hinged on the left. Blue Air builds the same 23 cu. ft. cabinet in a right-hand version under a different model number, so confirm which swing suits your aisle and adjacent equipment before ordering.
How much product will a 23 cu. ft. reach-in hold?
The BSR23T-L-HC gives you 23 cu. ft. of refrigerated volume across four adjustable epoxy-coated wire shelves. That is enough for a full day of line backup or case goods in most single-concept kitchens, and the shelves reposition to clear taller cambros or sheet pans.
Why is the compressor on top instead of at the bottom?
A top-mounted, self-contained condensing unit draws air from above floor level, where there is less grease, flour and dust to load the condenser. It also keeps the full cabinet height usable for storage, and the unit slides out for cleaning and service.
What electrical connection does the BSR23T-L-HC need?
It runs on standard 115 V / 60 Hz single-phase power and draws just 3.0 amps at 1/4 HP. The unit arrives with a 9.8 ft (3 m) three-wire flexible cord terminating in a NEMA 5-15P plug, so no dedicated high-voltage circuit is required.
Is R-290 refrigerant safe to use in a commercial kitchen?
Yes. R-290 is a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with no ozone depletion potential and very low global warming potential, sealed in a factory-charged system. Blue Air rates it up to 25% more energy efficient than an equivalent HFC charge, which is part of why this reach-in earns an ENERGY STAR rating.
How heavy is this refrigerator and how does it ship?
The BSR23T-L-HC weighs 251 lbs net and 282 lbs as shipped. It rolls on four 4" swivel casters with brakes on the front pair, so once it is off the truck you can position it without dollies and lock it in place.
