TEFCOLD ODC90 BLACK refrigerated display showcase

A refrigerated display showcase keeps chilled products visible while maintaining safe holding temperatures. A compressor circulates refrigerant through an evaporator coil mounted behind or beneath the cabinet. The coil absorbs heat from the interior, lowering the air temperature. A fan then pushes this cooled air across the shelves, ensuring even distribution and preventing warm spots. The glass sides allow customers to see the products without opening the cabinet, reducing temperature fluctuations and energy waste.

The operator loads the shelves through the front opening, arranging products so they are clearly visible. Adjustable shelves with a tilting function let the operator angle each shelf slightly forward, making the front items easier to reach and more appealing. Once loaded, the unit maintains the set temperature range of +2 to +8 °C, suitable for dairy, deli items, and pre-packaged foods. A night blind or curtain can be drawn across the front when the shop is closed, reducing energy use and protecting the contents. The soft-release mechanism ensures the blind moves smoothly without jarring the cabinet.

The showcase is constructed with a black exterior, glass sides, and an aluminium or stainless-steel interior frame. The evaporator coil and fan assembly are housed in the base or rear of the unit, while the compressor is mounted at the bottom to keep the centre of gravity low. Adjustable feet allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors. The LED interior light illuminates the products without adding heat, preserving the internal temperature.

Controls include a thermostat to set the desired temperature within the +2 to +8 °C range. The power requirement of 1.613 kW indicates the load on the electrical circuit, which must be capable of handling this demand continuously. The voltage specification of 220-240 V at 50 Hz means the unit plugs into a standard UK single-phase supply. The 242 L volume provides space for a substantial display of chilled goods, while the 164 kg weight requires two people or a trolley for safe movement.

Cleaning involves wiping the glass sides and interior surfaces with a mild detergent to remove fingerprints and spills. The shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the evaporator coil should be checked periodically for dust build-up, which can reduce efficiency. The night blind should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions to prevent damage to the soft-release mechanism.

The ODC90 BLACK is a single model with a black exterior finish. It is categorised as a refrigerated display showcase for impulse sales, typically positioned near checkout areas to encourage last-minute purchases.
