A refrigerated food service counter includes a case having sidewalls that define an interior space. A refrigeration unit is in thermal communication with the sidewalls of the case. A bracket is disposed within the interior space, and a food service pan is supported by the bracket. A cooling bar is movably attached to the bracket. The cooling bar is positioned proximate the food service pan and in thermal communication with a select sidewall of the case. The refrigeration unit draws heat from the sidewalls. The select sidewall in turn draws heat from the cooling bar, and the cooling bar in turn draws heat from the food service pan.

Coolers for dispensing products, such as beverages, having multiple doors for accessing a single product compartment. A cooler may include a housing defining a product compartment; a top door coupled to a top surface of the housing at a hinge, the top door comprising a curved transparent panel; a vertical door coupled to a vertical front surface of the housing; a collapsible shelf disposed in the product compartment that is configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position; and a lower shelf disposed below the collapsible shelf in the product compartment. A product disposed on the collapsible shelf may be accessible through the top door when the collapsible shelf is in the extended position and a product disposed on the lower shelf may be accessible through the top door when the collapsible shelf is in the retracted position.

An open display refrigerator comprising: a refrigerated storage space, air in the refrigerated storage space being separated from air exterior to the open display refrigerator by an air curtain established by a fan which blows air towards an air outlet, air in the air curtain being recovered by an air inlet which recirculates the air from the air curtain into an air duct coupled to the air outlet; the at least one shelf having a riser attached to the shelf; and an air curtain guide coupled to the riser, the air curtain guide for guiding the flow of air within the air curtain.

A system 1001 comprises a display unit 1002 and shelves 4. The display unit has an open front chamber 50 for storing food products, lower and upper air ducts 32, 34, a fan 36, and an air refrigerator 44. At least one wall is transparent. The display unit further comprises a conduit wall 88, parallel to the transparent wall for creating an air conduit 90. The air conduit comprises a first conduit inlet 92, a second conduit inlet 94, and a conduit outlet 96. The first conduit inlet is in fluid connection with one of the lower and upper air ducts for diverting a portion of the air moving through the relevant air duct into the air conduit. The second conduit inlet is in fluid connection with ambient air outside of the display unit.

A system comprises a display unit and shelves. The display unit has an open front chamber for storing food products, a lower air duct with a lower front inlet, an upper air duct with an upper front outlet, a fan and an air refrigerator. The upper front outlet is directed at the lower front inlet for creating an air curtain in front of the open front. At least one of the shelves is a hollow shelf with an inner space, a shelf air outlet at a front side, a shelf air inlet at a back side, a fan, and a shelf heater. The fan is in fluid connection with the shelf air inlet and the shelf air outlet for moving air from the shelf air inlet through the hollow shelf to the shelf air outlet.
