Polar U-Series 2.1 x 1.5m Integral Walk-In Cold Room – Green

The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully integral chiller unit, meaning the refrigeration system is entirely self-contained within the structure. There is no remote condenser, no external ducting, and no separate plant room to accommodate — the compressor and all associated components are built into the unit itself. This particular model is finished in olive green and is sized at 2.1 metres wide by 1.5 metres deep, offering a gross storage capacity of 5,303 litres.

In a busy commercial kitchen, consistent holding temperature is everything. The U-Series is rated to maintain its operating range even when ambient temperatures in the surrounding environment reach 43°C — a relevant consideration for hot kitchen environments or poorly ventilated back-of-house areas. Forced air circulation helps ensure an even temperature throughout the cabinet rather than relying on natural convection, which matters when the room is being accessed repeatedly during service. The jointing and door design are engineered to retain cold air effectively, which supports both temperature stability and energy efficiency.

From a practical standpoint, the integral design offers a number of advantages for operators:

• No external plant room or condenser space required, simplifying installation planning
• Lockable, rebated door reduces cold air loss and supports security
• Moisture management built into the design helps reduce internal humidity
• Suitable for operation in high-ambient environments up to 43°C
• R449A refrigerant, a lower global warming potential alternative to older refrigerants

Installation is included in the price and covers site survey, delivery, professional fitting, and commissioning. This is a mainland UK service only. The unit weighs 425kg, so access routes, floor loading, and the intended installation position should all be assessed ahead of delivery — the site survey will address this. If the unit is to be installed outdoors or in a semi-exposed location, a weatherproof roof panel is available separately and should be considered. Internal racking is not included and is sold separately.

This model is well suited to small-to-medium food businesses that need a reliable, self-contained cold store without the infrastructure demands of a remotely condensed system — cafés, small hotel kitchens, butchers, bakeries, and similar operations are common fits. For higher-throughput sites or larger footprint requirements, higher-capacity configurations within the U-Series range are available. This product is special-to-order and non-returnable, so it is worth taking time to confirm the specification is correct before ordering.

If you are unsure whether this footprint is the right fit for your operation, or have questions about the installation process, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
