What Makes the Inomak CEP2144CR Upright Double Glass Door Refrigerator a Professional-Grade Choice for UK Hospitality and Foodservice?
The Inomak CEP2144CR upright double hinged glass door refrigerator is a heavy-duty, gastronorm-compatible refrigeration cabinet designed for demanding UK hospitality, foodservice, hotel kitchens, bakeries, bars, schools, hospitals and high-volume catering environments. Built entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel inside and out and fitted with triple-glazed glass doors for maximum energy savings, it provides high-capacity chilled storage with superior visibility, temperature stability and operator convenience.
With a large 1432-litre internal capacity, GN compatibility, LED lighting and reinforced shelves designed to hold upright bottles, the CEP2144CR combines display visibility with true back-of-house durability—making it suitable for both front-of-house beverage merchandising and professional chilled storage in fast-paced British catering operations.
How Does the Inomak CEP2144CR Upright Glass Door Refrigerator Deliver Stable, Energy-Efficient Cooling?
This model uses a ventilated forced-air circulation system that distributes chilled air evenly across all storage levels, ensuring internal temperatures remain within a controlled -2 °C to +8 °C range. The function is to eliminate hot spots and recovery delays, and the benefit is better food safety, faster cooling and reduced waste for UK operators.
With triple-glazed doors, injected polyurethane insulation and R290 refrigerant, the cabinet is engineered for low energy consumption while maintaining GN temperature stability even in high ambient conditions up to +32 °C. This makes it a dependable choice for hot UK commercial kitchen environments and long trading hours.
Which Build and Material Features Make the Inomak CEP2144CR Durable Enough for Heavy-Duty British Catering Use?
The exterior, interior and door design use high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel for maximum hygiene, corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The function is to withstand constant door openings, chemical cleaning and daily wear, and the benefit is long service life and improved compliance with UK food safety standards.
Heavy-duty castors are fitted as standard to allow rapid repositioning or deep cleaning access. Replaceable magnetic gaskets, clip-on shelf guides and rounded internal corners ensure fast hygiene maintenance, and self-closing doors at 90° help reduce energy loss during service.
How Does the Inomak CEP2144CR Uphold Safe Refrigeration, Compliance and Ease of Use?
A front-mounted embedded digital controller with temperature display gives precise control over storage conditions while protecting the electronics from dirt and impact. The benefit is easier sanitation and more reliable operation in high-traffic UK kitchens.
The unit includes automatic defrost, automatic condensate evaporation and ventilated airflow, so staff do not need to manually manage defrost cycles or drainage. Combined with a low-noise output of 59 dBA and a standard 13-amp plug-and-play supply, the cabinet can be installed quickly with minimal operator training or engineering support.
How Does the Inomak CEP2144CR Upright Refrigerator Support High-Capacity Storage and Front-of-House Presentation?

The interior of the cabinet is designed for hygienic operation with rounded corners, removable components, replaceable gasket seals and clip-on guides.
