In this article, we will provide a guide on what to consider before choosing the best glass door to showcase your refrigerator.





Displaying refrigerators is one of the most important necessities of the food business. Displaying products in the best way is the best way to attract customers. Display cabinets are specially designed to display food or any other product in a pleasant way. These display units are also called glass door display refrigerators. These wine beverage fridges are widely used in cafeterias, restaurants, bakeries and shops.





When choosing a supermarket display refrigerator, you need to consider some of the following.





Get a second-hand refrigerator or a new one?


Buying a second-hand refrigerator will definitely save some money, but there are a few things to consider before buying a second-hand refrigerator. It is important to check the compressor of the equipment, because all the heavy work needs to be done by the compressor. If the compressor is damaged, the compressor needs to be replaced, which will cost more than buying a new refrigerator. Therefore, it is best to buy new equipment, as new equipment comes with warranty and maintenance services, albeit much more expensive than using older equipment.Another advantage is that the new refrigerator is more energy efficient.





Choice of ideal capacity:


These glass door display refrigerators are sized in cubic meters, and capacity requirements vary based on the type of product you plan to display. Before choosing a refrigerator, you need to be very clear about how much food you need to store at one time, because too much inventory can affect the efficiency of your equipment.





If the capacity is larger than the device requires, it will eventually look as if you have run out of product; if the capacity is less than the required capacity, you will end up with excess inventory. Neither case will leave a good impression on the customer.





Know the exact size:


There are many display refrigerators in different designs on the market, before you start looking for a supermarket display refrigerator that fits your location. The first thing to do is to measure the size of the space available on the device, and the width and height of that place should be measured correctly. Second, the type of door needs to be considered, because if the display refrigerator is an upright display refrigerator and has a hinged door, it will require more space to open. If the device has a sliding door, you can save even more space. Both external and internal dimensions should be considered because two units with the same external dimensions may have different capacities depending on their internal dimensions.

For supermarkets and convenience stores, the fog on the glass of supermarket display fridges can prevent customers from viewing their products and may reduce impulsive purchases.





Why does the glass door condense fog?


Compared with cold air, hotter air can hold more moisture. "Dew point" is the temperature at which the air cools to saturation when the water vapor content in the air is constant and the air pressure is kept constant. A glass of ice water will begin to sweat in a warm room because the air in contact with the glass is cooled to the dew point. The same thing happens when the colder surface of the glass door comes into contact with the hotter air in the building.





How to solve this problem?


Replace damaged components


A damaged door gasket may allow humid air to enter the walk-in room. This air will cool to the dew point and lose excess moisture, which will produce mist. If you have a heated door, the foggy door may indicate that you need to replace the heater wire. Some heated glass doors have anti-sweat controls and may not work properly.





Adjust thermostat


Try to raise the temperature in the walk-in cooler slightly, or raise the surface temperature of the door to a temperature that does not cause water to condense on the door. It can also be cooled by setting an air conditioner, which helps absorb more moisture from the air near the walk-in radiator. You can try using a dehumidifier to help remove excess moisture from the air.





Buy new glass door


If you are in the new glass door market, please consider buying models with heated glass or anti-fog coating. Under high humidity conditions, these coatings cause condensation to form a transparent layer instead of forming misty droplets. APEX provides a glass door model that does not sweat. Newer doors usually have better thermal insulation, which will result in a lower surface temperature and less condensate.

Commercial supermarket display fridges refer to freezer or cooler that are exclusively used for the storage, display of ice cream, beverages, dairy products, quick-frozen foods, and food materials in commercial business channels such as supermarkets, cold drink shops, frozen stores, and hotel restaurants etc. Commercial refrigerators have a strong professionalism, not only have professional storage temperature requirements, but also strong requirements for display. Good display refrigerators can effectively promote sales, so a typical feature of commercial refrigerators is with single-layer or multi-layer transparent glass doors, consumers can see the contents without opening the door.

Precautions


1. Domestic refrigerators use AC 220V / 50Hz power supply. If the power supply conditions do not meet the AC 220V / 50Hz (187-242V), you must install an automatic voltage regulator with more than 1000W for use.


2. Must use independent dedicated socket and reliable grounding. The power cord of the freezer is equipped with a (grounded) plug that conforms to a standard three-wire (grounded) outlet. In any situation,do not cut or remove the third pin of the power cord.


3. It is strictly prohibited to put flammable and explosive dangerous goods and strong corrosive acids and alkalis in the freezer.


  4. Do not use flammable spray near the freezer to avoid fire.


  5. When there is leakage of flammable gas: close the gas leakage valve; open the exhaust device and doors and windows; do not unplug the power plug of the refrigerator;


   6. Keep the keys in a safe place. Do not let children play in the cabinet to prevent accidents.


   7. Once the freezer is disconnected from the power supply, wait five minutes or more before turning it on again to avoid damage to the compressor or the system. During maintenance, the power plug must be unplugged. After the freezer is in place, the plug should be accessible to prevent unplugging the power plug in time if a danger occurs.


  8. If the power cord needs to be extended, the cross-sectional area of the extension cord must not be less than 0.75mm2. If the power cord is damaged,must use a dedicated cord and contact the freezer company's local after-sale service personnel to replace it.


  9. Do not put food in the freezer immediately after the power is turned on. Let the empty cabinet run for a period of time (about 3 hours in summer and about 2 hours in winter), and then store the frozen food in the cabinet.


  10. After the freezer is moved, leave it for more than ten minutes before turning on the power.


  11. Regularly clean the freezer, and unplug the power plug for safe. Regular dust removal of the heat exchanger in the engine room can improve heat exchange efficiency and reduce energy consumption.


  12. Mechanical defrosting commercial freezers should be defrosted regularly to prevent the thick frost layer increasing the energy consumption. When defrosting, first transfer the goods, leave it for a while to melt the frost layer, and then use a defrost shovel to remove it. Don’t use sharp things to defrost for protect the inner wall.
