A refrigerated merchandiser including a case having a first case section. The first and second case sections define first and second product display areas. The first case section further defines an air passageway and the second case section includes a glass panel. The air passageway supports a fan and is in fluid communication with a first airflow inlet and a second airflow outlet. An airflow flows through the first airflow outlet toward the evaporator and a second airflow outlet in communication with the first airflow inlet via an evaporator bypass channel. A first airflow portion flows through the first airflow outlet and is cooled by the evaporator, and a second airflow portion flows through the second airflow outlet to bypass the evaporator and is uncooled by the evaporator. The second airflow outlet directs the second airflow portion over an exterior of the glass panel of the second case section.

A refrigerated display cabinet includes a refrigeration loop including a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element and an evaporator; a main body comprising a storage space, the evaporator is for cooling the storage space and at least one of the compressor, condenser and throttling element are located outside of the storage space; and a fan arrangement located outside of the storage space, configured to direct air to disperse any build-up of gases located in a region surrounding the bottom of the refrigerated display cabinet.

A refrigeration bin is disclosed. The bin includes a product display area defined by four side walls, a floor, and an access opening. Also included are an air supply vent on each of a first opposing set of the side walls, and an air return vent near each of a second opposing set of the side walls, in which the second opposing set of the side walls are adjacent to the first opposing set of the side walls. There is a return air duct, a first end of the return air duct in air flow communication with the air return vent, and a supply air duct, the first end of the supply air duct in air flow communication with the air supply vent, allows air flow in the display area. A cooling device is included for cooling air before it enters the supply air duct. The refrigeration bin can be useful to showcase foodstuffs in grocery stores and the like.

The present invention relates to a showcase with a two-story structure including: a body having an upper story storage chamber with a top opening formed on top thereof and first cold air introduction holes formed on the side surfaces thereof and a lower story storage chamber separately disposed adjacent to the underside of the upper story storage chamber and with a front opening formed on front thereof and second cold air introduction holes formed on the side surfaces thereof; upper doors for opening and closing the top opening of the upper story storage chamber; and drawers for slidingly opening and closing the front opening of the lower story storage chamber, so that the upper story storage chamber and the lower story storage chamber are separated up and down to have different temperatures distributed thereto, thereby sortedly storing a variety of foods or products with different storage characteristics from one another therein, and the front opening of the lower story storage chamber is open and closed by means of the drawers, thereby providing many conveniences of use.

An inflatable cabinet is provided and includes a first inflatable cabinet stand and a base. The first inflatable cabinet stand is for storing products. The first inflatable cabinet stand includes members and first connectors. The members include side walls, a back wall, and a top member. The base is connected to the first inflatable cabinet stand and includes an air pump, second connectors and air lines. An air pump is configured to pump air into at least one of the members of the first inflatable cabinet stand. The second connectors are configured to connect to the first connectors. The air lines are connected between the air pump and the second connectors.

The present disclosure relates to an improved open vertical display case (OVDC) which utilizes radiant cooling to cool and/or maintain food products at a target temperature. The radiant cooling is performed using a plurality of piping routed through the walls and containing a first refrigerant stream. The plurality of piping may be cooled using a refrigeration circuit. In some embodiments, a phase change material may be used for thermal energy storage and positioned between the plurality of piping and the refrigeration circuit. In some embodiments, the refrigeration circuit may be connected to heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and water heating systems within the building.

A refrigerated merchandiser is provided including a case having a first case section. The first case section defines a first product display area and an air passageway. The air passageway supports a fan and is in fluid communication with an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet. The air passageway is at least partially defined by a refrigeration system including an evaporator. A portion of the air passageway is further defined by a plenum having a stepped profile configured to channel and adjust a direction of an airflow within the first air passageway prior to entering the evaporator. The refrigerated merchandiser may further include a second case section defining a second product display area and including a glass panel. A first airflow portion of an airflow is configured to flow through the airflow inlet toward the evaporator and a second airflow portion is configured to flow through a second airflow outlet via an evaporator bypass channel. The first airflow portion is cooled by the evaporator and the second airflow portion is uncooled by the evaporator. The second airflow portion may be further directed through the second airflow outlet over an exterior of the glass panel of the second case section.

A display unit 1 for storing and displaying heated goods comprises walls 2, 4, 6, 8, shelves 10, 12, 14, 16, an air duct 18, a fan 20, 22, and an air heater 24. The walls delimit a main chamber 26 including a first open front side 28 and a second open front side 30 opposite of the first open front side. The shelves each comprise an upper placing side 32, and define an individual storage spaces 34, 36, 38, 40. The air duct 18 extends from an inlet 42, 44 to multiple outlets 46 which are in communication with the storage spaces. The display unit further comprises a transparent wall 48, 50, which is positioned in the main chamber 26 between the first open front side and the second open front side, and divides the main chamber in a first chamber 52 and a second chamber 54.

A refrigerated display case includes a housing surrounding multiple shelves. An air return passage is defined below the shelves. A fan is disposed at a downstream end of the air return passage. An air distribution gap is connected to an outlet of the fan and disposed behind the shelves and a top passage is disposed above the shelves. At least one microchannel heat exchanger connects the air distribution gap to the shelves.

A heat exchanger for a refrigerated merchandiser includes a fan housing having an asymmetrical configuration. The fan housing can include a first section with a first open outlet and a second section with a second open outlet. A first fan is positioned in the first section and configured to create a first airflow through the first open outlet. A second fan is positioned in the second section and configured to create a second airflow through the second open outlet. An evaporator is in fluid communication with the first open outlet and second open outlet. The first section is asymmetrical about a first section central axis and the second section is asymmetrical about a second section central axis.
