  • Publication number: 20230225523
    Abstract: A refrigerated merchandiser including a case defining a product display area and including an air inlet and an air outlet in communication with the product display area to form an air curtain across a front of the product display area. The refrigerated merchandiser also includes a shelf that is coupled to the case within the product display area. The shelf includes insulation between a top and a bottom of the shelf, and a passive heat exchanger that has a heat pipe embedded in the shelf within the insulation and that extends from a front of the shelf to a back of the shelf. Ambient air infiltrating the air curtain initiates passive heat transfer within the plurality of heat tubes.

  • Patent number: 11553807
    Abstract: A heat exchanger for a refrigerated merchandiser includes a fan housing having an asymmetrical configuration. The fan housing can include a first section with a first open outlet and a second section with a second open outlet. A first fan is positioned in the first section and configured to create a first airflow through the first open outlet. A second fan is positioned in the second section and configured to create a second airflow through the second open outlet. An evaporator is in fluid communication with the first open outlet and second open outlet. The first section is asymmetrical about a first section central axis and the second section is asymmetrical about a second section central axis.

  • 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.
