Abstract
A system for displaying the produce for sale and at least one sensor for sensing a parameter associated with the display and generating an output representative of the parameter. An overhead fan located in the space above the display regulates the airflow over the display. A controller is provided for controlling the fan based on the output of the sensor.
Claims12
A system for regulating airflow associated with product for sale in a space, comprising:
- a display in the space for displaying the product for sale, wherein the display comprises an open air case;
- at least one sensor for sensing a parameter associated with the display and generating an output representative of the parameter;
- a ceiling fan over the display;
- and
- a controller for controlling the ceiling fan based on the output of the at least one sensor.
A system for regulating airflow associated with product on display for sale in a space, comprising:
- a plurality of displays in the space, each for displaying a different type of product for sale;
- at least one sensor for sensing a parameter associated with each display and generating an output representative of the parameter;
- at least one ceiling fan over each display for regulating an airflow adjacent to each display;
- and
- a controller for controlling the ceiling fan over a corresponding display based on the output of the at least one sensor associated with the corresponding display.
A system for regulating airflow associated with product for sale in a space, comprising:
- a display in the space for displaying the product for sale;
- a sensor node including at least one sensor, the node senses air temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 concentration;
- an overhead fan located in the space adjacent to the display;
- and
- a controller for controlling the overhead fan based on the output of the sensor.
A system for regulating airflow associated with product for sale in a space, comprising:
- a display in the space for displaying the product for sale;
- at least one sensor for sensing a parameter associated with the display and generating an output representative of the parameter;
- an overhead fan located in the space adjacent to the display;
- and
- a controller for controlling the overhead fan based on the output of the at least one sensor;
- wherein the at least one sensor senses a surface temperature of the product, and the controller predicts a temperature within a pile of product based on the sensed surface temperature and uses the predicted temperature to regulate the overhead fan.
