The airflow management system includes discharge vents and turbulence reduction vents.

A product merchandising system includes a housing having a top surface, two side surfaces spaced apart from one another defining a width-direction of the housing, and a front surface and rear surface spaced apart from one another defining a depth-direction of the housing. The system includes a product support system configured to support rows of products along a width of the housing, each row disposed at a position along the depth of the housing, the first row being towards the front surface of the housing. A cooling system includes a cooling system including a cooling heat exchanger generating an airflow, a deflector configured to direct the airflow through the cooling heat exchanger and towards a bottom of the housing, and a nozzle below the deflector and configured to direct the airflow towards a bottom of the housing through an outlet aperture and between a first two rows of products.

A refrigerated sales cabinet (20a) includes a cabinet body (22a) providing a refrigerated sales space for supporting refrigerated goods to be presented therein; a door frame (21a) having a top post (34a), a bottom post (36a), and at least two upright posts (32a); wherein at least one of the posts (32a, 34a, 36a) comprises an air duct allowing to conduct air through the post (32a, 34a, 36a), and wherein at least one fan (18) is fluidly connected to the air duct in order to convey ambient air through the air duct.

A refrigerated case includes a case body including a top panel, a rear panel, and a bottom that cooperate to define a display space, a portion of a refrigeration system disposed in the case and operable to cool a flow of air, and a first air passage positioned to direct the flow of air near the top panel from the rear panel generally toward a front of the case. A one piece holder is positioned to receive the flow of air adjacent the front of the case, the one piece holder formed as a unitary component using a PVC foam material and arranged to accelerate and redirect the flow of air in a downward direction toward the bottom, and a filter member is at least partially supported by the holder and positioned to receive the flow of air in the downward direction and to redirect that flow into the display space.

An aircraft passenger service device for receiving goods for cold storage to be supplied to aircraft passengers includes a receiving device having a viewing apparatus, a coolant inlet for feeding a coolant into the receiving device, and a coolant outlet for discharging the coolant from the receiving device. The viewing apparatus is designed to enable a user to inspect goods stored in the receiving device before removal. The aircraft passenger service device further includes a cooling arrangement having a coolant circuit line connected to the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet of the receiving device, and a device that directs into the coolant circuit line a refrigerant fluid flowing through a refrigerant fluid circuit line of a central cooling system of the aircraft.

A supercooling refrigerator (1000) including: a refrigerator body (100); a door (200) for opening and closing one side of the refrigerator body (100); an accommodating portion (400) provided inside the refrigerator body (100) and seated with an object (M) to be stored; a cooling duct (600) including a fan for taking in air in the refrigerator body (100) and discharging the air, and an evaporator (630) for cooling the air discharged from the fan; and a cool air supply duct (700) formed with a cool air discharge port (710) through which the air cooled through the cooling duct (600) is discharged into the refrigerator body (100), the fan being a cross flow fan (620) including a plurality of discs (622), and a plurality of blades (623) disposed between the discs (622) along outer circumferential surfaces of the discs (622).

Systems and methods are disclosed herein that include providing a cooler with a supply duct, a plurality of shelf plenums connected in fluid communication with the supply duct, and a return duct to implement precise temperature control over an internal cooling space of the cooler. Each of the shelf plenums may include openings disposed in a top surface of each shelf plenum. A supply airflow generated by a fan of a refrigeration system may pass the supply airflow through the supply duct to each of the plurality of shelf plenums, where the supply airflow may exit the shelf plenums through the openings in each shelf plenum to directly contact beverages and/or food products disposed on the top surface of the shelf plenums. The cooler may be further operated to supercool liquid beverages below a freezing point of the beverages without causing solidification and/or crystallization of the beverages.

This cold storage is provided with: a first sliding door that opens/closes a cold chamber; a second sliding door that opens/closes the cold chamber, and is positioned between the cold chamber and the first sliding door when the cold chamber is fully open; a compressor disposed at a position that becomes closer to the closed end of the second sliding door than the closed end of the first sliding door when the cold chamber is fully closed; a fan that generates air flow passing the surroundings of the compressor; and a housing that accommodates the compressor, and has formed therein a blow port for blowing out the air flow toward the first sliding door and the second sliding door.
