How Commercial Glass Door Display Fridges Work
These clever cooling wonders operate using a refrigeration system that pulls warm air across an evaporator, cooling it before circulating the chilled air throughout the cabinet. The double or triple-glazed glass doors provide excellent insulation while maintaining perfect visibility—like having a window into a perfectly chilled world. Digital thermostats maintain precise temperatures between 2-10°C, while strategically placed fans ensure even cooling from top to bottom. Most units feature self-closing doors with magnetic seals to maintain temperature when busy staff move between tasks, and automatic defrost systems prevent ice buildup—keeping everything running smoothly all day long!
