    摘要: A refrigerated merchandiser including a case that defines a product display area and an access opening. The case has an air inlet and an air outlet, and a passageway fluidly connects the air inlet with the air outlet to direct a refrigerated airflow across the customer access opening in the form of an air curtain. The merchandiser also includes shelves that are coupled to the case. Each shelf includes an inlet, an outlet, a fan unit disposed in the shelf, and a heat exchanger. The fan unit is in communication with the passageway to draw air through the inlet to direct a portion of the airflow through the shelf toward the outlet. The heat exchanger is disposed in the shelf to cool the airflow in the shelf to provide independent zone cooling to a predetermined region of the product display area.

    摘要: A shelve cabinet comprises partially cooled shelves which are open towards the front and wherein the goods compartment is cooled by a cool-air curtain flowing through the at least partially perforated rear wall of the goods compartment into the goods compartment and/or by a cool-air curtain flowing along the goods compartment opening. One or more goods display shelves are located in the goods compartment, the goods display shelves being configured in such a manner that the at last one partial flow of the cool-air curtain is guided across them to the front area of the goods display shelves. The goods display shelves are provided with structure for stabilizing at least one partial flow of the cool-air curtain flowing along the goods compartment opening. The goods display shelves are linked with the rear wall of the goods compartment in an air-tight manner and the structure for stabilizing the cool-air curtain flowing along the goods compartment opening are adapted to deviate the cool-air curtain in the direction of the goods compartment.

    摘要: A storage apparatus is provided that comprises a display case part with an inside thereof being dividable into a plurality of zones, a supply duct that is connected to supply openings for supplying conditioning air for controlling environmental conditions to the plurality of zones respectively, and an exhaust duct that is connected to exhaust openings for taking in air from the plurality of zones. In this storage apparatus, conditioning air such as cold air or hot air is circulated in the respective zones, and the environmental conditions can be adjusted efficiently in zone basis. Therefore, in a storage apparatus equipped with an open-type display case part, it is possible to dispense with an air curtain covering the entire open side, so that a storage apparatus with a high storage capacity is provided.

    摘要: A duct system includes a first duct that guides hot air downward from a hot air generator disposed thereabove and includes a plurality of hot air supply openings at intermediate positions thereof, a second duct that guides cold air upward from a cold air generator disposed therebelow and includes a plurality of cold air supply openings at intermediate positions thereof, and a third duct that connects the hot air generator and the cold air generator and includes a plurality of return openings at intermediate positions thereof. Using this duct system, it is possible to provide a simple duct system that can supply cold air and hot air independently and can return air in a shared duct. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a storage apparatus, such as a showcase, that is compact and has high heat exchanging efficiency.

    摘要: A showcase includes air outlets provided at an upper rear end of a goods-storing room, and shelf ducts individually provided at lower faces of goods shelves. Cold air discharged from the air outlets is caused to descend along a rear plate of the goods-storing room, and then flows through the shelf ducts from rear ends towards front ends of the goods shelves while being partly discharged downward, whereby the cold air can be discharged downward from the shelf ducts to lower goods shelves, making it possible to efficiently cool goods placed on the goods shelves, even if no air curtain is formed in front of a showcase body. Accordingly, the visibility of upper goods shelves can be improved by using an upper face of the showcase formed by a transparent top plate.
