IGLOO SANTIAGO 2.1S REMOTE refrigerated display showcase

A refrigerated display case keeps perishable food chilled while presenting it to customers through a curved front glass. The unit circulates cold air inside a sealed chamber, drawing heat away from the products and maintaining a steady temperature between 1 °C and 10 °C. Static cooling relies on natural convection: the evaporator coil cools the air at the back, which sinks and displaces warmer air upward, creating a gentle loop that spreads cold evenly without a fan. This method avoids drying the food and reduces energy use, making it suitable for delicate items such as meat, cheese and fish.

The operator loads the showcase by opening the hinged back doors of the stainless-steel storage chamber. Products are arranged on the stainless-steel exposition area, and the electronic temperature controller is set to the desired value within the 1–10 °C range. Once the case is powered by the external remote aggregate, the automatic defrost cycle starts at intervals, melting any frost on the coil without manual intervention. The telescopic lifting system raises the curved front glass for cleaning or restocking, and the night blind made of plexiglass can be rolled down to cover the display when the shop is closed. LED lamps illuminate the interior, with a choice of white, confectionery or deep-pink meaty tones to enhance the appearance of the products.

The body is constructed from white-coated sheet metal with a side base flashing, while the front base sheets and front panel are available in a selectable colour. The worktop is 20 mm thick granite grey, providing a durable surface for additional preparation or display. Anodised aluminium profiles in silver or gold frame the interior, and a coloured bumper protects the base. Ecological polyurethane foam insulation fills the walls, reducing heat transfer and maintaining temperature stability.

The 230 V, 50 Hz power requirement matches a standard single-phase circuit, allowing the unit to be installed in most commercial kitchens without special wiring. The refrigerant R290 is a hydrocarbon with low global-warming potential, complying with current environmental regulations. The footprint of 1920 mm by 1190 mm plus a 10 mm tolerance determines the floor space needed, and the height of 1225 mm sets the clearance required above the unit.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel exposition area and storage chamber with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasives that could scratch the surface. The curved front glass is cleaned with a glass cleaner, and the telescopic lifting system should be checked periodically to ensure smooth operation. The night blind is removed and washed separately, and the LED lamps are dusted to maintain brightness.

The SANTIAGO 2.1S REMOTE is supplied without side panels, enabling multiple units to be joined together to form continuous lines. The external aggregate must be installed separately, allowing flexibility in positioning the refrigeration unit away from the display case itself.

This model is categorised as a refrigerated display case for fresh food in professional catering and retail environments.
