Everest ESWQ3 59 In. Wide Reach-In Dual Temp Refrigerator Freezer, 3/4 and 1/4 Split, 39 + 13 Cu. Ft., Top Mount Blizzard R290

The Everest ESWQ3 splits its 59 inch wide cabinet three quarters refrigerator and one quarter freezer, the dual temp in Everest's ES Series top mount reach-in family for kitchens that live on chilled prep and only need a working stash of frozen product. A full height door on the left and a lower half door on the right open onto 39 cubic feet of refrigerated storage, while the upper right half door isolates a 13 cubic foot freezer, so the bulk of the box tracks your produce, dairy and proteins and the freezer covers backup without wasting space. At under 32 inches deep it does both jobs in one footprint instead of two.

Slide-Out Blizzard R290 Cartridge that Swaps without On-Site Brazing

Each zone runs its own top mounted, self-contained Blizzard R290 cartridge, fully detachable and replaceable in the field with no on-site brazing: a 1/4+ HP unit rated 1,926 BTU per hour on the refrigerator side and a 1/2 HP unit rated 1,119 BTU per hour on the freezer side. Unlike a conventional sealed system repair that can park a cabinet out of service while a refrigeration tech opens the circuit, a cartridge swap gets the box back to work the same visit, and a problem in one zone never takes down the other. Both cartridges run natural R290 refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three.

Electronically commutated fan motors pull both compartments to temperature quickly while drawing less power, and each zone defrosts the way its temperature demands: the freezer clears frost with a heater that starts on a timer and ends on temperature, while the refrigerator side uses air defrost with no heater at all. The condensate pan maintains itself with no external drain line or electric heater, auto-reverse condenser fans support compressor ventilation and help keep the coils clean between cleanings, and pressure relief devices let staff re-open a just-closed door instead of waiting out the vacuum.

One Full Door and Two Half Doors in Solid Stainless Steel with Self-Closing Torsion Hinges

All three door panels are heavy duty stainless steel inside and out with the same 2.5 inch high density polyurethane insulation as the cabinet walls. The freezer hides behind its own upper half door, so a grab for frozen product exposes 13 cubic feet to kitchen air instead of the whole cabinet, and the refrigerated side splits between the full door and the lower half door for the same reason. Every panel self-closes through an adjustable torsion system for a positive seal, carries a high strength recessed handle that will not catch passing carts, and comes with a pre-installed lock so stock stays put overnight. Frame heaters prevent exterior moisture build up around the openings, and the snap-in magnetic gaskets pop out for cleaning or replacement without tools.

39 Cu. Ft. Refrigerator and a 13 Cu. Ft. Freezer Split by an Insulated Interior Wall

An insulated interior wall separates the freezer quarter from the refrigerated three quarters, so the frozen corner holds deep frozen temperatures without dragging the chilled zones below their setpoint, unlike a single-cavity cabinet asked to do two jobs. Five epoxy coated steel wire shelves ride on height adjustable stainless steel clips across the compartments. The interior and exterior are heavy duty stainless steel with rounded corners that will not snag knuckles or towels, the top, bottom and rear are galvanized steel, and 2.5 inch high density polyurethane insulation fills the cabinet walls. A full-length air duct and airflow guard keep cold air moving through each compartment, and silicone coated, shatter-proof LED lighting gives bright, high color illumination with low heat output. The cabinet rolls on four 5 inch swivel casters with locks on the front set.

Independent Digital Controls that Hold 33°F to 54°F Chilled and -10°F to 54°F Frozen

Each compartment runs on its own multi-function digital control with an easy to read LED display, the refrigerator factory preset at 35°F and adjustable from 33°F to 54°F, the freezer preset at -4°F and adjustable from -10°F to 54°F. Dial one zone without touching the other as your menu shifts. An audible overheat alarm watches the compressors and condenser coils and sounds before a developing problem turns into lost product. Everest backs the unit with 3 year parts and labor, 5 year electrical, and 10 year compressor coverage, supported through its service agent network.

If the stock configuration does not match your line, Everest offers additional shelving, 3 inch locking swivel casters in place of the standard 5 inch set, and height adjustable interchangeable legs from 3.5 to 6 inches.

The dual temp configuration is the answer to buying two separate boxes, and the lopsided split is the point: 39 cubic feet chilled against 13 frozen fits operations that prep cold and fry or finish from a modest frozen reserve. A kitchen that needs equal volume at both temperatures is better matched by the half and half dual temps in the same series, and one that runs everything chilled by the straight wide refrigerator. Power is a standard 115V connection on a 9 foot cord, with no dedicated high-voltage circuit needed.
