Patent number: 10178917Abstract: In a refrigerated display case having an interior volume that is accessed through a door panel being opened from a doorframe, a frame cover is included that may reduce condensation or the power required to avoid condensation on a door panel. The frame cover is formed of a non-metallic material that provides a thermal break. The frame cover may also be formed with air pockets to further enhance the thermal break. Moreover, it may be formed to attach with an interference fit and thereby avoid fasteners. Other embodiments and features are presented.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Heatcraft Refrigeration Products LLCInventors: Saikiran Thoutam, Rahul Gokhale, Santosh Nerur, Ajay Chidambaram Pillai Swornalatha, Vinod Kunchala, Revanth Muppala

Patent number: 8931300Abstract: A storage cabinet (16) is provided for an ultra-low temperature freezer (10). The cabinet (16) includes a base platform (62a), a plurality of side structural insulated panels (45, 50, 55) each defining a side wall of the storage cabinet (16), and a plurality of generally vertically oriented posts (40) extending from the base platform (62a). Each of the plurality of vertically oriented posts (40) has a slot (40a) for receiving an edge portion (45a, 50a, 55a) of one of the insulated panels (45, 50, 55) therealong. The slot (40a) may have a generally U-shaped profile that surrounds the edge portion (45a, 50a, 55a) of one of the insulated panels (45, 50, 55). At least one of the generally vertically oriented posts (40) has a channel (40c) that extends along a longitudinal dimension thereof, the channel (40c) being configured to receive one of insulation, tubing, or wiring of the freezer therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Thermo Fisher Scientific (Asheville) LLCInventors: Dennis H.
