They are used for beverages, dairy products, deli meats, prepared foods, and frozen items. The goal is simple: keep products cold while encouraging customers to buy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Types_of_Refrigerated_Display_Cases\"><\/span>2. Types of Refrigerated Display Cases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are three main types of refrigerated merchandisers, each suited to different store layouts and product categories.<\/p>\n<h3>(1) Glass Door Merchandisers<\/h3>\n<p>Glass door merchandisers are the most common type of display case in convenience stores and supermarkets. They feature transparent glass doors that allow customers to see the products inside while keeping the cold air trapped.<\/p>\n<p>There are two door styles to consider<\/p>\n<p><strong>Swing doors open outward<\/strong>. They provide a better seal, which improves energy efficiency and keeps products colder. However, they require more aisle space. If your store has wide aisles, swing doors are often the better choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slide doors open sideways<\/strong>. They take up less space and work well in narrow aisles. The downside is that customers may not close them properly, which can lead to cold air leakage and higher energy costs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18826 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153910_78_5-e1782375084478.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1413\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153910_78_5-e1782375084478.jpg 1413w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153910_78_5-e1782375084478-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153910_78_5-e1782375084478-1024x408.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153910_78_5-e1782375084478-768x306.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153910_78_5-e1782375084478-18x7.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1413px) 100vw, 1413px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Glass door merchandisers are ideal for beverages, dairy, and other grab-and-go items. They offer good visibility and strong insulation, making them one of the most energy-efficient options available.<\/p>\n<h3>(2) Open-Air Merchandisers<\/h3>\n<p>Open-air merchandisers, also known as air curtain display cases, have no doors. Instead, they use a downward flow of cold air to create an invisible barrier that separates the cold interior from the warmer store environment.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest advantage is accessibility. Customers can reach in and grab a product without opening a door. This removes a barrier to purchase and can significantly increase impulse sales. Studies show that open-air merchandisers can boost sales by making products feel more accessible<br \/>\nHowever, there is a trade-off. Open-air units are less energy-efficient than glass door models because cold air continuously escapes. They also need to be placed carefully. If positioned near an air conditioning vent or in direct sunlight, the air curtain can be disrupted, reducing cooling performance.<\/p>\n<h3>(3) Combination Merchandisers<\/h3>\n<p>Combination merchandisers offer flexibility. These units can switch between refrigerated and frozen modes, allowing store owners to change the product mix based on seasonality or promotions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18824 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153803_76_5-e1782376175194.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153803_76_5-e1782376175194.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153803_76_5-e1782376175194-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153803_76_5-e1782376175194-1024x456.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153803_76_5-e1782376175194-768x342.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153803_76_5-e1782376175194-18x8.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example, a store might use the unit as a <a href=\"https:\/\/19january2021snapshot.epa.gov\/[reference:10]\">frozen food display<\/a> in summer and switch to refrigerated beverages in winter.

How to Choose the Right Display Case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Selecting the right refrigerated display case requires careful consideration of several factors.<\/p>\n<h3>(1) Determine Your Primary Use<\/h3>\n<p>Start by asking a basic question: is this unit for storage or display? If the primary purpose is to keep backup stock cold, a simple reach-in cooler may suffice. But if the goal is to drive sales through product visibility, a display case is the right choice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18825 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153848_77_5-e1782375379100.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153848_77_5-e1782375379100.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153848_77_5-e1782375379100-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153848_77_5-e1782375379100-1024x382.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153848_77_5-e1782375379100-768x287.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flycheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260625153848_77_5-e1782375379100-18x7.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>(2) Match Space and Traffic Flow<\/h3>\n<p>Measure your available floor space carefully. Display cases come in widths ranging from under 27 inches to over 78 inches. Consider not just the footprint of the unit, but also the space needed for customers to stand and browse. A unit that is too large can block aisles and frustrate shoppers. A unit that is too small may not hold enough inventory to meet demand.<\/p>\n<h3>(3) Consider Capacity<\/h3>\n<p>Capacity is measured in cubic feet. Smaller units may hold 10 to 20 cubic feet, suitable for coffee shops or small convenience stores. Larger units can exceed 50 cubic feet, designed for high-volume supermarkets. Think about your average inventory levels and how often you restock. A unit with too little capacity will require frequent refilling. One with too much capacity wastes energy and floor space.<\/p>\n<h3>(4) Evaluate Door Type<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, swing doors offer better energy efficiency but require more aisle space. Slide doors save space but may be less efficient if not closed properly. Consider your store layout and customer traffic patterns when making this decision.<\/p>\n<h3>(5) Look for Adjustable Shelving<\/h3>\n<p>Products come in different shapes and sizes. Adjustable shelving allows you to reconfigure the interior to accommodate tall bottles, short cans, or bulky containers. This flexibility is essential for stores that rotate their product mix regularly.<\/p>\n<h3>(6) Prioritize LED Lighting<\/h3>\n<p>Good lighting makes products look more appealing. LED lighting is now standard on most commercial display cases. It is energy-efficient, produces less heat than traditional lighting, and provides bright, even illumination that highlights product colors and branding.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_How_to_Maintain_You_Refrigeration_Display_Case\"><\/span>4. How to Maintain You Refrigeration Display Case?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you have chosen the right display case, proper maintenance is essential to keep it running efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Clean the Condenser Coils. Dust and dirt buildup on condenser coils forces the compressor to work harder, increasing energy consumption and shortening the unit&#8217;s lifespan. Clean the coils regularly. In dusty or greasy environments, monthly cleaning is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Check Door Seals. Worn or damaged door gaskets allow cold air to escape, making the unit work harder to maintain temperature. Inspect the seals periodically and replace them when they show signs of wear.<\/p>\n<p>Monitor Temperature. The safe temperature range for refrigerated display cases is typically 33\u00b0F to 41\u00b0F (0.5\u00b0C to 5\u00b0C). Use a reliable thermometer and check temperatures daily. A sudden temperature spike could indicate a problem with the compressor, refrigerant, or door seal.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the Area Clear. Ensure that the unit has adequate clearance for airflow. Blocked vents can cause overheating and reduce efficiency. Do not stack boxes or other items on top of or directly against the display case.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_FlyChengs_Refrigerated_Display_Solutions\"><\/span>5.
