Publication number: 20210289955Abstract: Disclosed is a portable freezer module (30) for displaying and dispensing frozen edible products. The module comprises a case (32) and a duct (36). The case (32) comprises an insulated container having an interior space (33) for containing the frozen products, and an active cooling system for cooling the interior space and having a hot end (31) and a cold end (35). The duct (36) extends from the hot end (31) of the active cooling system of the case to a heat exhaust outlet (38). The module (30) is configured such that the case (32) can be removably sited in a presentation space (24) of a chill cabinet (20) with the heat exhaust (38) of the duct (36) positioned outside of the presentation space (24). The duct (36) is a hollow tube free from refrigerant conduits, electrical cables and other electrical equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2018Publication date: September 23, 2021Applicant: Conopco, Inc., d/b/a UNILEVERInventors: René Joachim BUTER, Varkey Berty JACCOB, Johannes KRIEG, Ashvinikumar Vishnukumar MUDALIAR
