Choose the Right Commercial Refrigerator Configuration
Selecting the right commercial refrigerator impacts workflow, product quality, and operating costs. The comparison below helps you choose between top mount and bottom mount compressor designs based on where the unit will live (cook line, prep area, bakery, bar, or back-of-house).
Top Mount vs. Bottom Mount Compressor Refrigerators
In hot kitchens—near equipment like ranges, griddles, fryers, and charbroilers—ambient temperatures stay elevated. A bottom mount compressor refrigerator draws in cooler air from floor level, which can support more efficient operation and steadier performance during peak service.
Top mount compressor refrigerators are commonly used in bakeries and dry prep areas. Placing the compressor at the top can reduce the amount of flour, dust, and airborne debris pulled into the condenser. In either setup, routine condenser cleaning and proper airflow clearance are essential for long-term reliability.
The categories below include multiple sizes and configurations (reach-in, undercounter, and beverage/display options) so you can match capacity and footprint to your operation.
Atosa Commercial Refrigerators for Foodservice Use
Atosa refrigerators are designed for commercial kitchens that require durable construction and consistent temperature control. Many models feature stainless steel cabinets and ENERGY STAR® efficiency to support long-term operating value in restaurants, bars, cafés, and institutional foodservice.
Commercial Refrigerator Performance in Real Kitchens
Bottom mount commercial refrigerators are often selected for cook lines and hot prep zones, while top mount units are frequently chosen for bakeries and dry prep areas. Many operations pair refrigeration with dedicated frozen storage to keep inventory organized and food-safe.
Top Mount vs. Bottom Mount Compressor Comparison
| Feature | Bottom Mount Compressor | Top Mount Compressor |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Hot kitchens and cook lines | Bakeries and dry prep areas |
| Air intake | Draws cooler air from floor level | Draws warmer air from above |
| Maintenance access | Easier access for cleaning and service | Less convenient due to compressor height |
| Exposure to debris | More exposure to grease and dust near floor | Reduced exposure to floor-level debris |
Commercial Refrigerator FAQs
What Is a Top Mount Refrigerator?
A top mount refrigerator is a commercial refrigeration unit with the compressor and condenser located at the top of the cabinet. This design keeps the refrigeration system away from floor-level dust, grease, and moisture, which is why it is commonly used in bakeries and dry prep environments.
Which Is Better: Top Mount or Bottom Mount Refrigerator?
The best choice depends on the environment. Bottom mount units are often preferred near cook lines where the air is hotter, while top mount units are often preferred in bakeries and dry prep areas where flour and airborne debris may be present.
What Are the Disadvantages of a Top Mount Refrigerator?
In very hot kitchens, a top mount compressor may draw warmer air, which can reduce efficiency compared to bottom mount designs. Maintenance access can also be less convenient due to compressor height.
Are Atosa Refrigerators Good?
Atosa refrigerators are widely used in commercial foodservice environments for durability, reliable temperature control, and overall value. Many operations pair reach-in units with undercounter refrigeration to support prep lines and bar stations.
