When restaurants, cafes, bars, bakeries, convenience stores, hotels, supermarkets, and other foodservice businesses shop for commercial refrigeration, Turbo Air is one of the major brands they are likely to encounter.
Turbo Air specializes heavily in commercial refrigeration and offers equipment for almost every part of a restaurant's cold-storage and food-preparation system.
The company's lineup includes everything from compact undercounter refrigerators to large multi-section reach-ins, roll-in refrigerators, freezers, sandwich prep tables, pizza prep tables, chef bases, glass-door merchandisers, bakery cases, open-air display cases, and back bar coolers.
Turbo Air currently offers more than 500 commercial refrigeration models across multiple product families, giving restaurants a large number of sizes, configurations, door styles, and price points to choose from.
At Nishi Enterprise, restaurant operators can shop a large selection of Turbo Air commercial refrigeration equipment for both back-of-house and customer-facing applications.
This guide explains what Turbo Air is, the major Turbo Air product categories, the differences between several Turbo Air series, and some of the Turbo Air products available from Nishi Enterprise.
What Is Turbo Air?

That broad catalog makes Turbo Air useful for many different restaurant concepts.

Turbo Air Product Series
Turbo Air organizes much of its equipment into several major product series.
These currently include:
- PRO Series
- Super Deluxe Series
- M3 Series
- J Series
- E Line
Understanding the series can help restaurant operators compare models because construction, features, configuration, and price can differ considerably between product families.
Turbo Air PRO Series
The Turbo Air PRO Series is positioned toward high-performance commercial refrigeration applications.
PRO models are available across categories such as:
- Reach-in refrigerators
- Reach-in freezers
- Roll-in refrigerators and freezers
- Prep tables
- Worktops
- Chef bases
Depending on the particular model, PRO Series equipment can include features such as stainless steel cabinet construction, digital controls, LED lighting, hydrocarbon refrigerants, door alarms, and Turbo Air's self-cleaning condenser system.
Turbo Air Super Deluxe Series
The Super Deluxe Series is another major Turbo Air product family.
These products are commonly found in:
- Reach-in refrigeration
- Undercounter units
- Worktops
- Prep tables
- Chef bases
Super Deluxe products often emphasize stainless steel construction and additional features intended for demanding commercial kitchens.
Turbo Air M3 Series
The M3 Series is one of Turbo Air's most recognizable commercial refrigeration lines.
Nishi Enterprise carries M3 products across categories including:
- Reach-ins
- Freezers
- Undercounters
- Sandwich prep tables
- Salad prep units
The series provides restaurants with many common commercial configurations while typically using stainless steel exterior construction with practical interiors designed for foodservice use.
Turbo Air J Series
The J Series provides another group of commercial refrigeration products, including compact and undercounter options.
For restaurants that need practical refrigeration without necessarily choosing one of Turbo Air's larger premium series, J Series units can be worth comparing.
What Is Turbo Air's Self-Cleaning Condenser?
One of the features most strongly associated with Turbo Air is its self-cleaning condenser system.
Commercial refrigeration condensers can collect:
- Dust
- Grease
- Lint
- Kitchen debris
As debris accumulates, a refrigeration system may have to work harder to reject heat.
Turbo Air's system uses a fine mesh filter together with a rotating brush designed to remove accumulated material from the condenser area automatically.
This feature appears on many Turbo Air product lines.
It does not eliminate the need to maintain restaurant refrigeration properly, but it is designed to reduce condenser buildup and help the equipment operate more consistently.
Turbo Air Reach-In Refrigerators
Reach-in refrigerators are among the most important pieces of equipment in a commercial kitchen.
They provide upright refrigerated storage for:
- Produce
- Dairy products
- Prepared sauces
- Meat
- Marinated proteins
- Prep containers
- Desserts
- Ready-to-cook ingredients
Turbo Air offers reach-in refrigerators in one-section, two-section, three-section, full-door, half-door, glass-door, solid-door, pass-thru, and roll-in configurations.
Turbo Air PRO-26R-N Single-Section Refrigerator
The Turbo Air PRO-26R-N Reach-In Refrigerator is a single-section PRO Series refrigerator with approximately 24.9 cubic feet of storage.
A one-door reach-in can work well in restaurants that need substantial cold storage but do not have room for a two- or three-section cabinet.
It can be useful for:
- Small restaurant kitchens
- Prep areas
- Bakeries
- Secondary refrigeration
- Dedicated ingredient storage
Turbo Air PRO-50R-N Two-Section Refrigerator
Restaurants needing substantially more storage can consider the Turbo Air PRO-50R-N Two-Section Reach-In Refrigerator.
This model provides approximately 48.7 cubic feet of refrigerated storage across two sections.
A two-section reach-in is a common choice for medium and high-volume restaurant kitchens because it provides considerably more capacity without taking up the width of a three-section refrigerator.
Turbo Air PRO-50-4R-G-N Glass Half-Door Refrigerator
For restaurants that want better product visibility, the Turbo Air PRO-50-4R-G-N Reach-In Refrigerator uses four glass half doors.
Glass doors allow employees to inspect inventory before opening the refrigerator.
Half doors can also help reduce how much of the cabinet is exposed when an employee only needs something from one section.
Solid-Door vs. Glass-Door Reach-In Refrigerators
| Feature | Solid Door | Glass Door |
|---|---|---|
| Product Visibility | Door must be opened | Contents visible through glass |
| Typical Use | Back-of-house storage | High-access or inventory-focused storage |
| Appearance | Traditional stainless cabinet | More visual |
| Inventory Checks | Requires opening | Easier at a glance |
Turbo Air Roll-In Refrigerators
Roll-in refrigerators are designed for full-height food racks or carts to be rolled directly into the refrigerated cabinet.
This can be particularly useful for:
- Banquet kitchens
- Hotels
- Bakeries
- Commissaries
- Catering companies
- High-volume prep kitchens
Turbo Air PRO-50R-RI-N Roll-In Refrigerator
The Turbo Air PRO-50R-RI-N Two-Section Roll-In Refrigerator provides approximately 81 cubic feet of refrigerated storage and is designed to accept full food racks.
Rather than transferring every tray from a rack into individual refrigerator shelves, employees can roll a loaded rack directly into the cabinet.
This can save significant labor in high-volume production environments.
Turbo Air Reach-In Freezers
Restaurants also require reliable frozen storage for items such as:
- Frozen proteins
- French fries
- Frozen appetizers
- Desserts
- Seafood
- Prepared foods
- Backup ingredients
Turbo Air offers commercial reach-in freezers across several product families and sizes.
Turbo Air PRO-50F-N Two-Section Freezer
The Turbo Air PRO-50F-N Two-Section Reach-In Freezer provides approximately 48.7 cubic feet of frozen storage.
This can work as a primary freezer for a medium-sized restaurant or as additional frozen storage in a larger operation.
Turbo Air M3F72-6-N Three-Section Freezer
Restaurants needing substantially more frozen storage can consider the Turbo Air M3F72-6-N Three-Section Reach-In Freezer.
Its six half-door configuration allows staff to access individual portions of the cabinet rather than opening one large full-height door each time.
Turbo Air Roll-In Freezers
Turbo Air also offers roll-in freezer configurations.
The Turbo Air PRO-50F-RI-N Two-Section Roll-In Freezer provides approximately 81.7 cubic feet of capacity and is designed to accept food racks.
This type of unit can be useful for operations freezing or holding large batches of:
- Prepared desserts
- Bakery products
- Pre-portioned foods
- Catering trays
- Frozen production inventory
Turbo Air Undercounter Refrigerators
Undercounter refrigeration allows a restaurant to put cold storage directly beneath a counter or working area.
This can dramatically improve kitchen workflow.
Instead of walking to a large reach-in every time an ingredient is needed, a cook can keep important ingredients directly at the station.
Turbo Air MUR-20S-N6 M3 Shallow-Depth Refrigerator
The Turbo Air MUR-20S-N6 M3 Series Undercounter Refrigerator is a compact shallow-depth model with one solid door.
This is useful where both width and depth are limited.
Turbo Air MUR-27S-N6 Undercounter Refrigerator
The Turbo Air MUR-27S-N6 provides another compact M3 undercounter option in a wider format.
Turbo Air MUR-34S-N6 Two-Door Undercounter Refrigerator
Restaurants wanting two refrigerated compartments can consider the Turbo Air MUR-34S-N6 Two-Door Undercounter Refrigerator.
Turbo Air MUR-20SG-N6 Glass-Door Undercounter Refrigerator
The Turbo Air MUR-20SG-N6 combines the compact shallow-depth format with a glass door.
A glass-door undercounter can be especially useful where employees need to identify ingredients quickly.
Turbo Air JUR-36-N6 Undercounter Refrigerator
The Turbo Air JUR-36-N6 J Series Undercounter Refrigerator gives restaurants another option for refrigerated storage beneath prep or service areas.
Turbo Air TUR-36SD-N6 Super Deluxe Refrigerator
For a Super Deluxe option, Nishi Enterprise carries the Turbo Air TUR-36SD-N6 Undercounter Refrigerator.
This two-section stainless steel model works well in demanding prep-line applications.
Where Are Undercounter Refrigerators Used?
Common placement areas include:
- Under prep counters
- Beside ranges
- Beside griddles
- At sauté stations
- Behind bars
- At coffee stations
- At dessert stations
- Near beverage counters
Turbo Air Undercounter Freezers
Undercounter freezers provide the same point-of-use convenience for frozen products.
Turbo Air TUF-28SD-N
The Turbo Air TUF-28SD-N Undercounter Freezer is a compact single-door option.
It can be useful at a fry station for products such as:
- French fries
- Onion rings
- Frozen appetizers
- Fried seafood
Turbo Air TUF-48SD-N
The Turbo Air TUF-48SD-N Two-Door Undercounter Freezer provides additional frozen capacity across a wider cabinet.
Turbo Air TUF-60SD-N
Restaurants with higher frozen-storage needs can consider the Turbo Air TUF-60SD-N Undercounter Freezer.
Turbo Air Drawer Freezers
Doors are not always the most convenient configuration on a busy cook line.
Drawers can allow employees to organize food pans and pull ingredients out from above.
The Turbo Air TUF-48SD-D4-N Four-Drawer Undercounter Freezer provides four refrigerated drawers instead of swing doors.
Turbo Air also offers the compact TUF-28SD-D2-N Two-Drawer Undercounter Freezer.
Door vs. Drawer Undercounter Refrigeration
| Feature | Door Configuration | Drawer Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Storage Style | Shelves | Food pans inside drawers |
| Best For | Flexible storage | Organized line ingredients |
| Access | Front swing door | Pull-out drawer |
| Common Placement | Prep area | Cook line |
Turbo Air Worktop Refrigerators
A worktop refrigerator combines refrigerated storage with a stainless steel work surface.
This allows one piece of equipment to perform two jobs.
The Turbo Air TWR-28SD-D2-N Worktop Refrigerator uses two drawers beneath its work surface.
Worktop refrigerators are particularly useful in kitchens where every square foot of space matters.
Undercounter Refrigerator vs. Worktop Refrigerator
The main difference is the top.
An undercounter refrigerator is designed primarily to fit under another surface.
A worktop refrigerator includes a finished commercial work surface that can become part of the prep station itself.
Restaurants should choose based on how the equipment will be incorporated into the kitchen layout.
Turbo Air Sandwich and Salad Prep Tables
Prep tables are another major Turbo Air category.
A refrigerated prep table combines:
- Cold storage below
- Refrigerated food pans above
- A cutting board
This creates an entire food-assembly station in one piece of equipment.
Prep tables are useful for:
- Sandwich shops
- Delis
- Salad restaurants
- Fast-casual restaurants
- Cafes
- Wrap shops
- Pizzerias
Turbo Air MST-24S-N6 Compact Salad Unit
The Turbo Air MST-24S-N6 M3 Series Salad Unit is a compact 24-inch model.
Its small footprint makes it useful when a restaurant needs an ingredient station but does not have room for a traditional 48- or 60-inch prep table.
Turbo Air MST-48-12-N 48-Inch Prep Table
The Turbo Air MST-48-12-N M3 Sandwich and Salad Prep Table provides approximately 12 cubic feet of refrigerated base storage and a 12-pan top.
This size can work well for smaller sandwich shops or restaurants with a focused ingredient selection.
Turbo Air MST-60-16-N 60-Inch Prep Table
The larger Turbo Air MST-60-16-N M3 Series Prep Table expands the ingredient area to 16 pans.
Turbo Air MST-72-18-N 72-Inch Prep Table
High-volume operations can consider the Turbo Air MST-72-18-N 72-Inch Sandwich and Salad Prep Table.
This model provides a large three-section refrigerated base together with an 18-pan ingredient area.
Turbo Air PRO Series Prep Tables
Turbo Air's PRO Series also includes higher-end sandwich and salad prep tables.
Turbo Air PST-72-D6-N Prep Table
The Turbo Air PST-72-D6-N PRO Series Prep Table combines an 18-pan top with a refrigerated drawer base.
This configuration can be useful where staff want ingredients above and additional organized ingredients below.
Turbo Air Mega Top Prep Tables
A standard prep table has a limited number of ingredient pans.
A Mega Top prep table increases the number of pans available at the top of the station.
This can be especially useful for restaurants that need many toppings.
Examples include:
- Sub shops
- Salad restaurants
- Pizzerias
- Poke concepts
- Fast-casual bowl restaurants
Turbo Air PST-72-30-D6-N Mega Top
The Turbo Air PST-72-30-D6-N PRO Series Mega Top Prep Table provides a 30-pan ingredient area together with six refrigerated drawers.
Thirty pans allow a restaurant to keep a very large selection of toppings immediately available during service.
Turbo Air PST-72-30-D2R-N Mega Top
The Turbo Air PST-72-30-D2R-N offers the same general high-capacity Mega Top concept with a combination of a solid door and drawers in the refrigerated base.
Turbo Air PST-72-30-N-GL Glass-Lid Mega Top
Restaurants that want ingredient visibility can consider the Turbo Air PST-72-30-N-GL Mega Top Prep Table with Glass Lid.
The clear lid allows employees to see the ingredient area while the unit is closed.
Standard Prep Table vs. Mega Top Prep Table
| Feature | Standard Prep Table | Mega Top Prep Table |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredient Capacity | Moderate | Higher |
| Best For | Focused menus | Large topping selections |
| Typical Restaurant | Cafe or small deli | Busy sub, salad or bowl concept |
Turbo Air Pizza Prep Tables
Turbo Air also manufactures refrigerated pizza prep tables.
Pizza prep tables typically differ from sandwich tables by offering a deeper work surface suitable for:
- Stretching dough
- Adding sauce
- Adding cheese
- Adding toppings
- Cutting finished pizzas
Turbo Air's current food prep lineup includes dedicated pizza prep tables in multiple sizes and configurations.
Restaurants can browse available food prep models in the Turbo Air collection at Nishi Enterprise.
Turbo Air Chef Bases
Chef bases are one of the most efficient pieces of refrigeration a restaurant can put on a cook line.
A chef base is designed to support countertop cooking equipment while providing refrigerated or frozen drawers underneath.
Cooking equipment commonly placed on chef bases can include:
- Griddles
- Charbroilers
- Countertop ranges
- Hot plates
Turbo Air currently offers both refrigerated and freezer chef bases across its product catalog.
This design lets a cook grab ingredients without leaving the cooking station.
Why Are Chef Bases Useful?
Imagine a burger station.
The griddle sits on top.
Directly below it, refrigerated drawers can hold:
- Burger patties
- Cheese
- Bacon
- Chicken
- Other ingredients
The cook can move from refrigerator to griddle within seconds.
That can improve efficiency during high-volume service.
Turbo Air Glass-Door Merchandisers
Glass-door merchandisers serve a very different purpose from back-of-house refrigerators.
Instead of hiding products behind solid doors, merchandisers are designed to display them.
They are commonly used for:
- Bottled water
- Soda
- Juice
- Energy drinks
- Packaged salads
- Desserts
- Grab-and-go meals
Turbo Air TGM-11RV-N6 Merchandiser
The Turbo Air TGM-11RV-N6 Glass-Door Merchandiser provides approximately 11 cubic feet of display space in a relatively compact one-section cabinet.
Turbo Air TGM-14RV-N6 Merchandiser
The Turbo Air TGM-14RV-N6 increases capacity to approximately 14 cubic feet while retaining the single-section format.
Turbo Air TGM-35R-N Merchandiser
For larger beverage selections, restaurants and stores can consider the Turbo Air TGM-35R-N Glass-Door Merchandiser.
Turbo Air TGM-48R-N Merchandiser
The Turbo Air TGM-48R-N provides approximately 48 cubic feet of refrigerated merchandising space behind sliding glass doors.
Turbo Air TGM-50RS-N Merchandiser
The Turbo Air TGM-50RS-N provides approximately 50 cubic feet of refrigerated display capacity with swing glass doors.
Turbo Air TGM-69R-N Three-Door Merchandiser
High-volume beverage operations can consider the Turbo Air TGM-69R-N Three-Door Merchandiser.
Turbo Air TGM-72SDHB-N 78-Inch Merchandiser
One of the larger options carried by Nishi Enterprise is the Turbo Air TGM-72SDHB-N Three-Door Glass Merchandiser.
This unit provides approximately 70.5 cubic feet of refrigerated display space and can hold a large beverage inventory.
Swing Doors vs. Sliding Doors on Merchandisers
Both styles have advantages.
Swing Doors
- Provide wide access
- Can feel familiar to customers
- Require clearance in front of the case
Sliding Doors
- Do not swing into customer aisles
- Can be useful in narrow spaces
- Allow access without requiring additional front clearance
Turbo Air Open-Air Merchandisers
Open-air merchandisers remove the front door completely.
This allows customers to reach directly into the refrigerated case and grab a product.
These units are designed for high-visibility, high-convenience retail environments.
Common products include:
- Bottled beverages
- Packaged sandwiches
- Salads
- Desserts
- Fruit
- Ready-to-eat meals
Turbo Air TOM-30SS-N Open-Air Merchandiser
The Turbo Air TOM-30SS-N Horizontal Open-Air Merchandiser is a compact stainless steel display with multiple merchandising levels.
Turbo Air TOM-40SEB-N Vertical Merchandiser
The Turbo Air TOM-40SEB-N Vertical Open-Air Merchandiser provides approximately 16.1 cubic feet of refrigerated display space in a black cabinet.
Turbo Air TOM-60SS-N Open-Air Merchandiser
The larger Turbo Air TOM-60SS-N Stainless Steel Open-Air Merchandiser provides a wider display for larger grab-and-go assortments.
Turbo Air TOM-72DXS-N Vertical Merchandiser
For large self-service display areas, the Turbo Air TOM-72DXS-N Vertical Open-Air Merchandiser provides a substantial refrigerated presentation area.
Turbo Air TOM-75SB-SP-N
The Turbo Air TOM-75SB-SP-N 75-Inch Open-Air Merchandiser is another option for high-volume retail environments.
Where Are Open-Air Merchandisers Used?
They are particularly common in:
- Convenience stores
- Supermarkets
- Airport food outlets
- Hospital cafeterias
- College dining
- Fast-casual restaurants
- Grab-and-go cafes
Turbo Air Island Merchandisers
Island cases are designed to stand away from a wall and provide product access from multiple sides.
They can turn an open retail area into refrigerated merchandising space.
Turbo Air TIOM-36SB-N Island Cooler
The Turbo Air TIOM-36SB-N Vertical Island Open-Air Cooler provides double-sided product access and approximately 14.4 cubic feet of capacity.
Turbo Air TIOM-48SB-N Island Merchandiser
The larger Turbo Air TIOM-48SB-N Island Merchandiser increases the display area while retaining customer access from both sides.
Turbo Air TIOM-20RSRB-N

Turbo Air TIOM-48RSRB-N
For higher-volume retail applications, the Turbo Air TIOM-48RSRB-N Horizontal Island Cooler provides approximately 28.8 cubic feet of display capacity.
Turbo Air Bakery Display Cases
Bakery display cases need to do more than keep food cold.
They also need to make products look attractive.
Customers should be able to clearly see:
- Cakes
- Pastries
- Cheesecakes
- Pies
- Mousses
- Desserts
Turbo Air manufactures refrigerated bakery cases with straight and curved glass, multiple shelf levels, LED lighting, and different cabinet widths.
Turbo Air TCGB-36UF-S-N Bakery Case
The Turbo Air TCGB-36UF-S-N 36-Inch Bakery Display Case provides a compact full-service display with straight glass.
Turbo Air TCGB-48UF-S-N Bakery Case
The Turbo Air TCGB-48UF-S-N 48-Inch Bakery Case expands the display to three levels.
Turbo Air TCGB-72UF-S-N Bakery Case
For larger bakeries, the Turbo Air TCGB-72UF-S-N 72-Inch Refrigerated Bakery Case provides approximately 23.2 cubic feet of refrigerated display capacity.
Turbo Air Curved-Glass Bakery Cases
Some restaurants prefer the softer visual appearance of curved glass.
The Turbo Air TCGB-48-W-N 48-Inch Curved-Glass Bakery Case provides three levels of full-service display.
The larger Turbo Air TCGB-72-W-N 72-Inch Curved-Glass Bakery Display Case provides substantially more presentation space.
Turbo Air Combination Bakery Cases
Some bakeries sell products that need refrigeration alongside products that do not.
The Turbo Air TCGB-60UF-CO-W-N Combination Bakery Display Case is designed to display both dry and refrigerated products within one unit.
This can be useful for a bakery selling items such as:
- Refrigerated cheesecakes
- Cream desserts
- Cookies
- Dry pastries
- Cakes
Turbo Air Back Bar Coolers
Bars need refrigeration that fits a completely different layout from a restaurant kitchen.
A back bar cooler is designed to fit behind the bar and keep bottles and cans within easy reach of bartenders.
Turbo Air TBB-1SBD-N6 24-Inch Back Bar Cooler
The Turbo Air TBB-1SBD-N6 24-Inch Back Bar Cooler is a compact solid-door model for smaller bar setups.

Turbo Air TBB-4SBD-N
High-volume bars can consider the Turbo Air TBB-4SBD-N Back Bar Cooler, which provides a much wider cabinet and eight shelves.
Turbo Air Glass-Door Back Bar Coolers
Glass doors can help bartenders identify inventory before opening the cabinet and can also improve product visibility.
Examples available through Nishi Enterprise include:
- Turbo Air TBB-2SGD-N Two-Glass-Door Back Bar Cooler
- Turbo Air TBB-3SGD-N Glass-Door Back Bar Cooler
- Turbo Air TBB-4SGD-N Three-Section Glass-Door Back Bar Cooler

Turbo Air Equipment for Restaurants
One of Turbo Air's strengths is that the brand can cover several refrigeration needs within the same restaurant.
A restaurant might use:
- A PRO Series reach-in for bulk refrigerated storage
- An M3 freezer for frozen inventory
- An undercounter refrigerator beside the cook line
- A prep table for sandwich or salad assembly
- A chef base beneath a griddle
- A glass-door merchandiser near the front counter
Instead of buying one type of refrigerator from Turbo Air, a restaurant can build much of its refrigeration system around the same manufacturer.
Turbo Air Equipment for Pizzerias
Pizzerias can use Turbo Air equipment in several areas.
Potential equipment includes:
- Pizza prep tables for toppings and assembly
- MST-60-16-N Prep Table for sandwiches and salads
- PRO-50R-N Reach-In Refrigerator for bulk ingredients
- TUF-28SD-N Freezer for frozen appetizers
- TGM-48R-N Merchandiser for bottled beverages
Turbo Air Equipment for Sandwich Shops
Sandwich shops depend heavily on refrigerated ingredient access.
A shop with many toppings could use the PST-72-30-D6-N 30-Pan Mega Top Prep Table.
A smaller operation might choose the MST-48-12-N 48-Inch Prep Table.
Additional cold storage can be provided by an MUR-27S-N6 Undercounter Refrigerator or a full reach-in.
Turbo Air Equipment for Indian Restaurants
Indian restaurant kitchens can require significant refrigerated storage for:
- Marinated chicken
- Paneer
- Dairy products
- Yogurt
- Prepared curry bases
- Vegetables
- Chutneys
- Rice prep
A large Turbo Air PRO-50R-N Reach-In Refrigerator can provide bulk refrigerated storage.
An MUR-34S-N6 Undercounter Refrigerator can keep frequently used ingredients close to the line.
A Turbo Air M3F72-6-N Three-Section Freezer can provide high-volume frozen storage where needed.
Turbo Air Equipment for Bakeries
Bakeries have both production and display refrigeration needs.
A bakery might combine:
- A reach-in refrigerator for ingredients
- A reach-in freezer for frozen dough or desserts
- A roll-in refrigerator for full racks
- A worktop refrigerator for prep
- A refrigerated bakery case for finished products
The Turbo Air TCGB-72UF-S-N gives a bakery a large illuminated refrigerated presentation area.
Turbo Air Equipment for Bars
Bars can use Turbo Air across several refrigeration applications.
Useful models include:
- TBB-1SBD-N6 Compact Back Bar Cooler
- TBB-2SGD-N Glass-Door Back Bar Cooler
- TBB-4SGD-N Large Back Bar Cooler
- MUR-20S-N6 Compact Undercounter Refrigerator
Turbo Air Equipment for Convenience Stores and Grab-and-Go Concepts
Customer-facing refrigeration is one of Turbo Air's strongest categories.
A convenience operation might use:
- Glass-door beverage merchandisers
- Open-air coolers
- Island displays
- Bakery cases
For example, a TOM-40SEB-N can display grab-and-go products directly to customers, while a TGM-72SDHB-N provides large glass-door beverage storage.
What Should You Consider Before Buying Turbo Air Equipment?
There is no single Turbo Air model that is best for every restaurant.
Before selecting equipment, operators should consider several factors.
1. Dimensions
Always measure the intended location.
Check:
- Width
- Depth
- Height
- Door clearance
- Aisle clearance
- Ventilation space
2. Storage Capacity
A one-door refrigerator might work for a small cafe but become overcrowded in a large full-service restaurant.
At the same time, buying an oversized three-section unit can waste valuable floor space and money.
3. Door Configuration
Compare:
- Solid doors
- Glass doors
- Full doors
- Half doors
- Sliding doors
- Drawers
4. Refrigerator vs. Freezer
Consider how much refrigerated inventory and frozen inventory the restaurant actually carries.
5. Electrical Requirements
Commercial refrigeration can have different voltage, amperage, and plug requirements depending on the model.
Check the specification sheet before ordering.
6. Refrigeration Location
Some models use top-mounted systems, others bottom-mounted or rear-mounted systems.
Kitchen layout and environmental conditions may make one configuration more practical than another.
7. Customer-Facing vs. Back-of-House
A stainless solid-door reach-in makes sense in a kitchen.
A glass-door or open-air unit makes more sense when customers need to see the product.
Why Is Turbo Air Popular in Commercial Refrigeration?
One reason Turbo Air is widely used is simply the size of its lineup.
Restaurants can choose between hundreds of configurations rather than trying to make a small number of models fit every situation.
Turbo Air also emphasizes several recurring features across its refrigeration products, including:
- Self-cleaning condenser technology on many models
- Digital temperature controls
- LED lighting
- Hydrocarbon refrigerants on many current models
- Stainless steel construction options
- Multiple door and drawer configurations
What Is R290 Refrigerant?
Many current Turbo Air commercial refrigeration products use R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant.
R290 is propane used as a refrigerant in specially designed refrigeration systems.
It has become increasingly common in commercial foodservice refrigeration because of its refrigeration properties and low global warming potential compared with many older refrigerants.
Some compact Turbo Air products also use R600a, another hydrocarbon refrigerant.
Restaurants should always use qualified technicians and follow manufacturer procedures when servicing commercial refrigeration equipment.
Why Does Refrigeration Layout Matter?
Buying refrigeration is not only about cubic feet.
Placement can have a major effect on restaurant efficiency.
Consider two kitchens with the same total refrigerator capacity.
In one kitchen, every refrigerator is located in a storage area 30 feet from the cook line.
In the other, bulk products are stored in reach-ins while frequently used ingredients are kept in undercounter refrigerators and chef bases at the stations where they are needed.
The second kitchen may operate much more efficiently even though total capacity is identical.
Reach-In vs. Undercounter Refrigeration
| Feature | Reach-In | Undercounter |
|---|---|---|
| Storage Capacity | Higher | Lower |
| Floor Footprint | Dedicated vertical cabinet | Fits beneath working area |
| Best Use | Bulk storage | Point-of-use storage |
| Typical Location | Kitchen or storage area | Cook line or prep station |
Glass-Door Merchandiser vs. Open-Air Merchandiser
| Feature | Glass-Door Merchandiser | Open-Air Merchandiser |
|---|---|---|
| Front | Glass door | Open |
| Customer Access | Customer opens door | Immediate access |
| Visibility | Excellent | Excellent |
| Common Use | Beverages | Grab-and-go meals |

A restaurant needs different refrigeration in different areas.
Bulk ingredients may belong in a Turbo Air PRO-50R-N Reach-In Refrigerator.
Frozen inventory can be stored in a PRO-50F-N Reach-In Freezer.
Frequently used ingredients can stay directly beside the cook line in an MUR-34S-N6 Undercounter Refrigerator.
A sandwich restaurant can assemble orders on an MST-60-16-N Prep Table.
A restaurant with a large topping selection can choose a PST-72-30-D6-N Mega Top Prep Table.
A cafe can merchandise bottled beverages in a TGM-48R-N Glass-Door Merchandiser.
A grab-and-go concept can display sandwiches, salads, and drinks in a TOM-40SEB-N Open-Air Merchandiser.
