AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED CASE

摘要

A temperature-controlled case is provided including a base having a deck, a tower having a cavity, and an improved air distribution system. The air distribution system provides enhanced air flow throughout the case and a more balanced cooling profile to maintain products at a more uniform temperature. The air distribution system may include a duct and/or one or more air diverting devices, such as scoops, to permit a first portion of an air flow to be received into the tower and to direct second portion toward the deck. Sub-portions of the first portion may be directed at the rear portions and the front portions of one or more product supporting surfaces. The tower may include an exterior wall having openings through which air is directed by diffusers. The exterior wall may be faceted and the cavity may be segmented into channels corresponding to the facets.
