IGLOO Showcase VARIANT 1.0 80 L Remote Refrigerated Display Case VT100.800L-c

A refrigerated display case keeps chilled air circulating around food while presenting it through clear glass. The remote refrigeration unit pumps coolant through pipes to the case, removing heat from the interior without the noise or heat of a built-in compressor. Fans draw warm air over the evaporator coil, cooling it before it returns to the cabinet. This continuous flow maintains an even temperature across every shelf, preventing hot spots that could spoil perishable items. Because the compressor is located elsewhere, the case itself runs quietly and stays cooler, making it suitable for customer-facing areas where noise and ambient heat must be kept low. The operator loads the shelves with pre-chilled products, then sets the electronic regulator to the desired temperature between +1 °C and +10 °C. Once powered, the system begins dynamic cooling: fans circulate air across the evaporator, lowering the temperature inside the case. Automatic defrost cycles run out of service hours, melting any frost on the coil without interrupting display. Condensate drains through a siphoned outlet, preventing water build-up. LED lighting illuminates the shelves from above, highlighting products without adding heat. The night blind or optional sliding or hinged doors can be closed to conserve energy when the shop is not open. The case is constructed with a powder-coated outer casing and display area, resisting scratches and corrosion in a busy kitchen. Adjustable shelves allow the operator to organise different-sized items, while the transparent front ensures customers can view products from any angle. Ecological polyurethane foam insulation minimises energy loss, and energy-saving EC fans reduce power consumption. The lower outlets of the cooling circuit connect to the remote refrigeration unit, which must be installed separately. Controls include an electronic temperature regulator with a digital display, allowing precise adjustments to suit different types of food. The mechanical expansion valve regulates refrigerant flow, maintaining consistent cooling performance. The voltage requirement of 230 V at 50 Hz matches standard UK commercial circuits, ensuring compatibility with most kitchen setups. The footprint of 1000 mm wide, 820 mm deep and 1990 mm high determines the space it occupies on the shop floor. The 0.0157 kW power rating reflects the load on the electrical supply, which remains low due to the remote refrigeration design. The temperature range of +1 °C to +10 °C suits fresh produce, dairy, deli items and pre-packaged chilled goods, but excludes frozen products. The powder-coated finish on this display case resists grease and fingerprints, so shelves stay presentable even after frequent restocking in a busy delicatessen. The siphoned condensate drain should be checked periodically to ensure it remains clear. Shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the LED lighting requires no maintenance beyond occasional dusting. Variants include models with sliding doors (DP), hinged doors (DU) or night blinds, allowing the operator to choose the best option for their shop layout and operating hours. The case is part of a range offering 168 configurations in width, depth and height, ensuring a fit for most retail spaces. The product is categorised under refrigerated display cases in the IGLOO professional catering equipment catalogue.
