In commercial places such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and cake shops, we often see a device like this: there are a wide variety of products displayed inside the transparent glass door, and an invisible "wind wall" blows out above the cabinet door. This is the air curtain cabinet. Many people may wonder, does the design of the air curtain cabinet have a refrigeration function? The answer is yes. The air curtain cabinet not only has a refrigeration function, but also its unique design makes it perform outstandingly in refrigeration and preservation.
The air curtain cabinet is similar to the cake cabinet. It has the function of constant temperature refrigeration and is very convenient to use. Mainly, it is easy to maintain and has a longer service life.
From the working principle, the air curtain cabinet, like ordinary refrigeration equipment, relies on the refrigeration system to achieve temperature reduction. The common refrigeration system of the air curtain cabinet mainly consists of a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a throttling device. The compressor is the core of the refrigeration system. It is like a "heart", which compresses the refrigerant, raising its temperature and pressure. The high - temperature and high - pressure refrigerant gas then enters the condenser. In the condenser, the refrigerant dissipates heat into the surrounding environment and gradually changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state. The liquid refrigerant is depressurized by the throttling device and then enters the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the refrigerant absorbs the heat in the cabinet and quickly evaporates into a gaseous state, thus achieving the temperature reduction of the internal space of the air curtain cabinet. This cycle repeats continuously, enabling the inside of the air curtain cabinet to maintain a stable low - temperature environment to meet the needs of refrigeration and preservation.
The unique feature of the air curtain cabinet lies in its "air curtain" design, which is also closely related to the refrigeration function. The so - called air curtain is formed by a fan blowing air out from the air outlet at the top of the air curtain cabinet to create a uniform air - flow barrier. This air - flow barrier is like an invisible curtain, which can effectively prevent the direct exchange of cold air inside the cabinet and hot air from the outside. When a customer opens the air curtain cabinet door to select products, an ordinary refrigerated cabinet will lose a large amount of cold air due to the opening of the door, and the temperature inside the cabinet will rise rapidly, affecting the refrigeration effect. However, the air curtain of the air curtain cabinet can minimize the loss of cold air at the moment the door is opened and maintain the low - temperature environment inside the cabinet. In this way, it is convenient for customers to pick up and place products while ensuring the continuous and stable refrigeration function and extending the freshness - keeping period of the products.
In terms of structural design, the air curtain cabinet also fully considers the realization and optimization of the refrigeration function. Its cabinet usually uses double - layer insulating glass doors. This kind of glass has good heat - insulation performance and can reduce the transfer of external heat into the cabinet. At the same time, the insulation layer of the cabinet uses high - efficiency insulation materials such as polyurethane foam, which further enhances the insulation effect and reduces the energy consumption of the refrigeration system. In addition, the air duct design inside the air curtain cabinet is carefully planned. By reasonably arranging the air outlets and return air inlets, the cold air can circulate evenly in the cabinet, avoiding the situation of uneven temperature and ensuring that each product can be in a suitable refrigerated environment.
The refrigeration function of the air curtain cabinet is also reflected in its temperature control. Modern air curtain cabinets are generally equipped with an advanced temperature control system. Users can flexibly adjust the temperature inside the cabinet according to the different needs of the stored products. For example, when storing fresh fruits and vegetables, the temperature can be set at 2 - 8°C; when storing dairy products, cooked food, etc., the temperature can be controlled at 0 - 4°C. Precise temperature control can not only meet the refrigeration requirements of different products but also effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria and microorganisms, ensuring food safety.
In practical applications, the refrigeration function of the air curtain cabinet plays an important role. In supermarkets and convenience stores, it can be used to store beverages such as yogurt, juice, and drinks, as well as refrigerated foods such as ham and sausages, maintaining the fresh taste and quality of the products. In cake shops and dessert shops, the air curtain cabinet is an ideal device for displaying and storing cakes and desserts. It can not only allow customers to directly appreciate the beautiful desserts but also ensure that the desserts will not deteriorate too quickly in a low - temperature environment.
The air curtain cabinet not only has a refrigeration function, but also its unique design concept and advanced technology application make it perform outstandingly in refrigeration and preservation. From the working principle to the structural design, from the air curtain system to the temperature control, every link is closely centered around the refrigeration function, providing reliable freshness - keeping guarantee for various products and playing an indispensable role in the commercial field.
