Abstract
A refrigerated display cabinet (10) includes a refrigeration loop including a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element and an evaporator which are connected; a main body (12) including a storage space (14), wherein the evaporator (16) is located within the main body and is for supplying cooling to the storage space (14); and a container (18) located outside of the storage space (12) and containing at least one of the compressor, condenser and throttling element, wherein the container (18) comprises a vent (20) configured to discharge any build-up of gases within the container (18) outwardly.
Claims18
A refrigerated display cabinet, comprising:
- a refrigeration loop comprising a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element and an evaporator which are connected;
- a main body comprising a storage space, wherein the evaporator is located within the main body and is for supplying cooling to the storage space;
- and
- a container located outside of the storage space and containing at least one of the compressor, condenser and throttling element,
- wherein the container comprises a vent configured to discharge any build-up of gases within the container outwardly in a high velocity stream and in a jetting fashion.
A method of refrigerant leak mitigation for a refrigerated display cabinet, the method comprising:
- capturing leaking refrigerant from refrigerant loop components of a refrigerated display cabinet within a container;
- and
- venting the build-up of refrigerant from the container outwardly in a high velocity stream and in a jetting fashion.
A method for manufacturing a refrigerated display cabinet with refrigerant leak mitigation, the method comprising:
- providing a refrigerated display cabinet including:
- a refrigeration loop comprising a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element and an evaporator which are connected;
- a main body comprising a storage space, wherein the evaporator is located within the main body and is for supplying cooling to the storage space;
- a container located outside of the storage space and containing at least one of the compressor, condenser and throttling element;
- and
- forming a vent in the container configured to discharge any build-up of gases within the container outwardly in a high velocity stream and in a jetting fashion.
