Refrigerated food bar arrangement and a cooling system for such a food bar

A food bar, comprising:

• a holding arrangement configured to receive a plurality of pans for holding food, the holding arrangement including a cabinet and being configured with at least one cold well, the food bar being adapted to hold the plurality pans such that food in the pans is accessible via pan openings to a user at least from a first outer side section of the food bar;
• a cooling system comprising a refrigerator for cooling the food bar in at least two separate climate zones and a cooling arrangement in communication with the refrigerator, the cooling arrangement being arranged with respect to the holding arrangement such that the cooling arrangement is located close to and above a location where back walls of the pans are located when the pans are received in the holding arrangement and adjacent to a rear section of an openable covering arrangement that covers the received pans in a closed position;
• the cooling arrangement being arranged such that cooled air flows in a first cooling flow from a lower edge of the cooling arrangement outward above the received pans, and upward in toward an upper edge of the cooling arrangement due to self-convection, thereby forming a first climate zone;
• the holding arrangement comprises a bottom section disposed at a distance from pan holder elements disposed in the holding arrangement such that the at least one cold well is provided below and on lateral sides of the received pans and forms a second climate zone;
• the cooling system is adapted to separately control cooling of the second climate zone by a separately controlled second cooling flow, and the cooling system comprises a main cooling chamber and a recirculation chamber;
• the refrigerator having a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator, the evaporator being arranged such that air flows through the recirculation chamber to the evaporator and then the main cooling chamber;
• and
• the main cooling chamber comprises at least one zone outlet for each climate zone, the zone outlets comprising separate zone conduits connected to each respective climate zone, and for each climate zone the cooling system includes at least one separately controllable shunting fan connected to respective zone conduits and configured to separately control cooling of the climate zones by controllable injection of a cooling medium into the climate zones.
