How Undercounter Glass Door Display Fridges Work
These clever undercounter display refrigerators operate using a sealed refrigeration system with a compressor that circulates refrigerant to remove heat from the interior. The magic happens when the insulated glass door allows customers to see products while maintaining temperature integrity—typically between 2-8°C. Internal LED lighting illuminates contents attractively while using minimal power. Most models feature fan-assisted cooling for even temperature distribution throughout the cabinet, while adjustable shelving lets you maximize capacity for bottles, cans, or food containers. Digital controllers maintain precise temperatures, and automatic defrost systems prevent ice buildup—keeping your chilled items visible and ready to serve!
