  • Patent number: 10188223
    Abstract: A refrigerated merchandiser includes a case having a base and a canopy at least partially defining a product display area. One or more eutectic plates are positioned in the product display area. The eutectic plates include a fluid contained in a housing. A heat exchanger including a coil is positioned in the housing to cool the fluid. The coil has an inlet, an outlet spaced from the inlet, a first portion, and a second portion adjacent and in thermal communication with the first portion to define a tube-to-tube heat exchanger.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9538858
    Abstract: A dual temperature refrigerated display case including a low temperature refrigerated display case defining a low temperature product display area and including a low temperature air curtain configured to flow across an access opening of the low temperature case. The dual temperature refrigerated display case also includes a medium temperature refrigerated display case disposed above the low temperature case. The medium temperature case defines a medium temperature product display area and includes a medium temperature air curtain configured to flow across an access opening of the medium temperature case. The dual temperature refrigerated display case includes a duct disposed between the medium temperature refrigerated display case and the low temperature refrigerated display case. The duct receives spillover air from the medium temperature air curtain and redirects the spillover air away from the low temperature air curtain.

  • Patent number: 9528771
    Abstract: A heat exchanger including a non-linear coil. The coil has coil sections that define a sinuous refrigerant path, and the coil has an inlet that is located on an outer periphery of the coil and an outlet that is located inward of the outer periphery. A distance between the coil sections monotonically increases from the outer periphery toward the center.
