  • Publication number: 20240183605
    Abstract: A refrigeration door system has a defrosting feature. The refrigeration door system also includes a housing defining a refrigerated cavity therein, and a door assembly carried by the housing and providing access to the refrigerated cavity. The door assembly includes a door frame and door coupled to the door frame. The door switches between an open position providing the access to the refrigerated cavity and a closed position where the refrigerated cavity is inaccessible. The door frame includes gasket pieces carried by a first side member and a second side member. The gasket pieces are spaced apart and define an air channel. The refrigeration door system also includes a positive pressure source fluidly coupled to the top member and configured to output air, and a heating device configured to heat the air from the positive pressure source.
