Compressor Location
Like any refrigerator, prep tables are powered by compressors and compressors need room for ventilation. This is an important thing to consider when choosing the right prep table for your kitchen. The ideal location for the compressor is as far away from cooking equipment as possible. All manufacturers will have different recommendations for their products, but most will require at least a 6” clearance between the compressor and other equipment or a wall.
Prep tables with compressors on the front are a great choice because no matter which way the table faces, it should always have proper room for ventilation.
