An open display merchandiser can be broadly classified into two types - Self-contained Refrigeration and Remote Refrigeration. The classification is done on the basis of the condenser and compressor and their functionality. Thus, as a business owner, it is quite important to have an understanding of open display merchandisers so that you can choose the right one for your business.

Here is a brief discussion on the two categories of open display merchandiser that you can consider for your business.

THE PROS:

  • One purchase of a unit - all in one
  • All-in-one units are more accessible
  • Simple setup and installation
  • No external condensing unit

THE CONS:

  • These can increase the temperature of the room significantly high in which they are kept
  • They come with less interior space as compared with remote controlled 
  • Nosier than other units
  • Requires proper ventilation space

Remote Refrigeration
This remote refrigeration system comes with built-in evaporators and is made up of a fully insulated cold storage. The condenser and compressor of the remote refrigeration system are located in an entirely separate unit. They are connected by an extensive framework that transports coolant between the two units. The units that have both the condenser and compressor are installed outside the building, though specific interior rooms can be used. They have each unit separately controlled on its own to provide the most efficient and effective refrigeration.

THE PROS:

  • Remote Refrigeration unit has a specific place for the hottest unit for more conducive area
  • Reduced noise
  • As not all components are located inside the unit thus the unit is cooler overall 
  • Increased efficiency

THE CONS:

  • Has the possibility to use more energy based on the size of the unit
  • Require proper installation of all parts
  • More extensive to service
  • Difficult to relocate

Having the right information about these open display merchandisers can not only help you choose the right one for your business but will also ensure that your sales grow.
