Key Features:

High-Capacity Glass and Plate Chiller/Froster: Holds up to 180 eight-inch mugs or 172 ten-ounce steins, making it ideal for high-volume bar and foodservice operations.
Eco-Friendly R290 Hydrocarbon Refrigerant: Uses R290 refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3, dramatically reducing environmental impact compared to legacy refrigerants such as R404a (GWP 3922) and R134a (GWP 1430).
Forced-Air Cooling with High-Volume Airflow: Evaporator fan motors with large blades deliver consistent, high-volume airflow throughout the cabinet to quickly and evenly frost glasses and plates to 0 degrees F and below.
Split-Design Adjustable PVC-Coated Wire Shelving: Three heavy-duty, PVC-coated wire shelves (one bottom shelf and two top shelves) feature a split-shelf design that allows simultaneous chilling of dry product on one side while working with already-chilled items on the other; PVC bonding prevents chipping and peeling common in standard epoxy-coated shelves.
Self-Cleaning Reverse Fan Motor Mode: The condensing fan motor operates in reverse for 20 seconds at startup to clear dust and debris from the condenser coil, promoting sustained refrigeration efficiency and extended system lifespan.
Automatic Defrost System: Reduces ice buildup and maintains consistent operating temperatures without manual intervention, minimizing downtime in busy environments.
Durable, Bar-Friendly Cabinet Construction: Black laminated vinyl exterior with a powder-coated steel frame rail provides stability and a clean aesthetic; durable stainless steel countertop simplifies sanitation; galvanized steel interior resists corrosion.
CFC-Free, High-Density Polyurethane Insulation: Foamed-in-place insulation offers zero ODP and zero GWP, maximizing cold retention, structural rigidity, and energy efficiency.
Energy-Efficient Components: Features energy-efficient compressors, electrically commutated (EC) motors, and LED lighting to exceed energy standards while maintaining performance.
Accessible Refrigeration System: All refrigeration components are reachable behind the front grill, simplifying servicing and reducing maintenance time and cost.
Solid Slide Lid with Stainless Steel Top: Single solid slide lid keeps cold air contained during access, with a stainless steel countertop that provides a durable, easy-to-clean work surface.
Industry-Leading Warranty and Made in the USA: Backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty and a 7-year compressor warranty on HC (R290) models; manufactured in the USA using high-quality metals and components.
Electrical Specs: Operates on 115V/60Hz/1-phase power at 2.3A (1/4 HP) with a 9-ft. cord and NEMA 5-15P plug, accommodating standard commercial electrical installations.

Detailed Description

The True T-36-GC-HC is a commercial-grade underbar glass and plate chiller/froster designed for high-volume bar operations, capable of holding up to 180 mugs (204mm) or 172 10-oz. steins. Its forced-air cooling system, powered by high-volume evaporator fan motors, rapidly frosts glassware and smallware while maintaining a consistent 0°F and below operating temperature. Built in the USA, the unit features a durable black laminated vinyl exterior, stainless steel countertop, and corrosion-resistant galvanized steel interior, with foamed-in-place CFC-free polyurethane insulation for maximum energy efficiency and structural integrity. True's use of eco-friendly R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant (GWP of 3) underscores its commitment to sustainable manufacturing without compromising performance. The unit is backed by an industry-leading 7-year compressor warranty, making it a long-term investment for any busy bar program.
