The True TUC-36-HC is a solid door refrigerator from the TUC Series. It provides 10.2 cu. ft. of storage behind two solid doors, holds 33°F to 38°F and runs on R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant. It plugs into a standard 115/60/1 circuit (2.0 A).
Refrigeration System
A factory-balanced, self-contained capillary tube refrigeration system is sized generously for the cabinet, so it pulls down quickly after door openings and holds 33°F to 38°F steadily. R290 is a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a very low global warming potential, and it moves heat efficiently, which helps keep energy use down.
Electronically commutated (ECM) evaporator and condenser fan motors use less power, run cooler and deliver a more consistent airflow than conventional motors, which improves reliability and temperature uniformity. The evaporator coil is epoxy coated to resist corrosion. The compressor is rated at 1/6 HP.
Why Operators Choose It
- Natural refrigerant: R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and very low global warming potential.
- ECM fan motors: Electronically commutated evaporator and condenser fan motors run cooler and more efficiently than shaded-pole motors and move a steadier volume of air.
- Self-closing doors with stay-open: Doors close themselves for a positive seal yet hold open past 120° for loading.
- Exterior digital display: Read cabinet temperature without opening the door; selectable °F or °C.
- LED interior lighting: Even, safety-shielded LED lighting that adds little heat to the cabinet.
- Epoxy-coated evaporator: Coating protects the coil against corrosion for a longer service life.
- Foamed-in-place insulation: High-density polyurethane insulation with zero ODP and zero GWP blowing agent.
- Tool-free gaskets: One-piece magnetic door gaskets pull out without tools for cleaning.
- NSF/ANSI 7: Compliant for open food product storage.
Cabinet & Door Construction
Exterior: stainless steel front, top and ends. Interior: clear coated aluminum liner. The cabinet walls are foamed in place with high-density polyurethane insulation. Doors use a 120° stay-open feature.
Shelving & Lighting
4 adjustable heavy-duty PVC-coated wire shelves. Shelves adjust in 1/2" increments. Interior LED lighting is safety shielded.
Ideal For
Restaurant back-of-house, hotels, schools, hospitals and catering kitchens that need dependable cold storage close to the line.
