  • Deflector for display cases
    Patent number: 10383459
    Abstract: Display cases may include deflectors and fans. The deflectors may alter air currents generated by fans to provide an air current to display portions of the display case. In some implementations, the altered air current may have a first portion with a velocity that is greater than a velocity of a second portion, where the first portion is closer to a display portion of the display case.
    Type: Grant

  • Refrigerated merchandiser angular air guide vanes
    Patent number: 6519962
    Abstract: A refrigeration system comprises a display case having a bottom, a top, a first side, a second side, and a viewing area, all of which define a display space. A refrigeration coil cools the display case. At least one fan is adjacent the coil and propels cool air through the display space. A vertical channel communicates with the fan and orifices along the channel distribute air horizontally across the display space. At least one surface extends across the display space and directs air along a different horizontal path.

  • Gas defrost system
    Patent number: 5323621
    Abstract: A gas defrost apparatus for melting frost and ice from evaporators in commercial refrigeration systems using a pressure differential hold back valve to direct superheated refrigerant in a reversed direction into the evaporators and a gas return conduit for reintroducing the refrigerant into the main refrigerant distribution system between the compressors and condensers. Reintroducing the refrigerant on the high side of the condensers between the compressors and condensers prevents inefficiencies in the refrigeration system.
