Supermarket Refrigeration Night Covers

• Energy Loss
• Ideal Thermal Barrier
• Refrigeration Experience

Open refrigerated display cases maximize eye appeal and sales, but they lead to energy loss. Products within the case are heated by the ambient air of the store, causing refrigerator compressors to work unecessarily.

Several factors define the ideal thermal barrier for open refrigerated display cases, including a quick payback period, free access to merchandise, and simple installation.

ECONOFROST has years of commercial refrigeration equipment experience. ECONOFROST night curtains were designed by refrigeration engineers to help retailers conserve energy in response to the spiralling costs of energy.

Energy Loss from Open Refrigerated Display Cases

Open refrigerated display cases are the best way for grocery retailers to present fresh merchandise to supermarket customers. Most fresh perishable products are purchased on eye appeal and supermarket sales are always better when there is an unobstructed view and easy access to items in refrigerated display cases.

Unfortunately, open refrigerated display cases suffer from the effects of heat and ultra violet radiation from the grocery store environment. There is often a misconception that cold refrigerated air escapes from display cases, resulting in cold air spillage. However, warm air is actually drawn toward the colder air, raising the temperature in refrigerated display cases.

To address this issue an efficient thermal barrier is needed between the refrigerated display case and the ambient air in the supermarket. ECONOFROST night covers are energy saving thermal curtains that reflect warm temperatures away from supermarket refrigerated display cases.

The Ideal Supermarket Refrigeration Night Curtain

The ideal thermal barrier must have several qualities to be effective in increasing your supermarket’s profits.

• The refrigeration blind must be reasonably priced and provide quick pay back.
• Refrigerator night curtains must be simple and quick to install.
• The thermal barrier must not hinder customers from accessing refrigerated merchandise.
• Refrigeration display case night blinds must not detract from the appearance of the grocery store.
• Refrigerated case covers must be of durable commercial quality that will last.
• Display case night shields must be hygienic: the night curtain should not rust or attract dust, mold, or mildew.
• Refrigerated case night shades should require very little maintenance.
• Supermarket merchandiser blinds must be exceptional in deflecting heat and ultra violet radiation.

ECONOFROST Supermarket Merchandiser Blinds: Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Experience

ECONOFROST refrigeration display case night blinds were designed in the early 1980’s after a decade of research conducted by former Krupp engineers and Linde, one of the world’s largest display case manufacturers.

ECONOFROST thermal blinds were created to offset the skyrocketing costs of electricity in commercial refrigeration. With over 200,000 installations at supermarkets and retail stores throughout Europe, many European retailers accept ECONOFROST night covers as an integral, standard part of their refrigeration equipment. It has become the most widely used and trouble free factory-installed thermal shield for supermarket refrigeration display cases.
