Low Profile Slim Contour Center Mount
The industry standard for walk-in cooler applications.
Offering the broadest capacity range, from 4,000 to 37,000 BTUH, the low profile unit cooler is designed for maximum air flow and cooling capacity inside a walk-in cooler.
Optimized for air defrost (medium temperature) applications, the Slim Contour unit cooler is ideally suited for installations where storage space is critical and a higher pull down capability is desired.
Available in air or electric defrost, ideal for tight storage situations because they are ceiling mount and have a height of less than 9” allowing for maximum headroom in a cooler.
The center mount design provides a moderated, evenly distributed air flow throughout the box.
