TEFCOLD Bottle Chest Cooler ISC302SD for Bars and Clubs

A static-cooled chest cooler keeps bottled drinks at serving temperature without forced air circulation. The refrigeration unit removes heat from the insulated cabinet, and the dense cold air settles at the bottom, creating a stable, draught-free environment that prevents bottles from drying out or picking up odours. Because the cooling is static, the unit runs quietly, making it suitable for front-of-house areas where noise levels matter.

The ISC302SD is loaded from the top. Two flat, insulated sliding lids glide open to reveal the full width of the cabinet. For bulk restocking, the lids lift off completely, allowing staff to load or unload entire crates in a single movement. Once the drinks are inside, the cooler maintains a temperature range of +1 to +9 °C, which covers the recommended serving temperatures for most beers, ciders and soft drinks. The static cooling method also means no fan is needed, so the interior stays dry and labels remain legible.

The cabinet is mounted on four castors, two of which have brakes. This allows the unit to be rolled into position during service and then locked in place. The gross volume of 286 L and usable capacity of 232 L provide space for multiple crates, reducing the frequency of restocking during peak hours. The cooler operates on a 220-240 V supply, matching the standard single-phase circuits found in most commercial kitchens and bars.

Construction is a fully insulated cabinet with solid sliding lids. The refrigerant used is R600a, a hydrocarbon with a low environmental impact. The weight of 55 kg reflects the insulation thickness and the robust materials needed to support the load of filled bottles and crates. The footprint of 1014 x 635 mm fits within the typical space behind a bar counter or in a back-of-house storage area.

Controls are minimal: a thermostat inside the cabinet sets the temperature within the +1 to +9 °C range. The static cooling system requires no defrost cycle, so the unit runs continuously without interruption. Cleaning involves wiping the interior surfaces and the sliding lids with a damp cloth; the removable lids simplify access for thorough cleaning. The castors should be checked periodically to ensure they roll freely and the brakes hold securely.

The ISC302SD is categorised as a bottle chest cooler, designed specifically for the storage and display of bottled drinks in bars, clubs and similar venues.
