Abstract: A refrigerated food pan assembly is disclosed which includes food pans which rest within an inner channel through a mounting lip. The assembly includes an outer channel separated from the inner channel by insulation. Refrigeration coils are in thermal conduction with the inner channel to cool food kept within the food pans. A cold air plenum with outlet vents extends along the inner channel to blow cold air toward and between the food pans. Fan arrangements draw cold air through louvers from within the inner channel and direct the cold air into the plenum. An upper refrigeration coil provides additional cooling to the top surface of food in the food pans, and a warming coil may also be provided to prevent the rim or lip of the outer channel from accumulating frost.
