An Experimental Evaluation of Refrigerated Display Case Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Refrigerated display cases are now commonplace in food stores in order to display products in an attractive manner to the customer. An increasing variety of chilled and frozen foods has also added to the demand for more chilled display area but despite this, most modifications to the way supennarket refrigeration systems are designed has come on the high pressure side with little or no regard for what is happening within the display case on the sales floor. The aim of this paper is to present the results of some experimental work earned out at Bnmel University on a vertical daiiy display case. It is envisaged that this work will help us to understand in greater detail what happens inside the case and how it interacts with its environment.

Utilizing Thermal Mass in Refrigerated Display Cases to Reduce Peak Demand
The potential to store energy within refrigerated food products presents convenience store and supermarket operators with an opportunity to participate in utility sponsored demand response programs, whereby electricity usage can be shifted or reduced during peak periods. To determine the feasibility of reducing peak demand by shifting the refrigeration load to off-peak times, experimental and a...

The rapid development of high brightness light emitting diodes (LEDs) has triggered many applications, especially in the area of display lighting. This paper focuses on the application of white LEDs in refrigerated display cases. The fluorescent lighting presently used in commercial refrigerators is inefficient in the application and also it provides poor lighting for merchandising. A laborator...
متن کاملEnvironmental monitoring of display cases in museums to consider the impact of display cases characteristics on their inner air quality
While technical characteristics, such as material used in the construction of display cases and their dimensions are important factors in terms of presentation quality as well as attracting the attention of the visitors, they can influence the inner air quality of the display case and preservation conditions of the exhibits too. This study intends to examine the effect of the technical characte...
