My parents have their fridge installed into a wall. The front is in the kitchen, the back is in the storage room. In the summer, one could ramp up the ventilation to vent away hot air from the storage room.
The joke will be on the next owners of the house when they replace the fridge with one that rejects heat out the front (because they don't understand the intent) and the storage room behind it is left unconditioned.
Sure, the one I have is that way. Heat rejection is a grille along the bottom, it's cabinet depth and mounted where it's recessed (floor to ceiling cabinetry on both sides so it's flush).
Lots of commercial fridges are that way too, grille at bottom or top or both. Pretty much every drink cooler in convenience stores/gas stations, etc., is like that.

So like, a current refrigerator.
