A refrigerated display cabinet comprising:
- a case comprising one or more shelves disposed between side walls of the case to form a conservation space to support and store one or more products therewithin;
- a duct extending from a bottom front side of the cabinet to a top front side of the cabinet via a rear side of the cabinet;
- and
- at least one heat exchanger comprising one or more headers, and a plurality of flat microchannel tubes,
- wherein the at least one heat exchanger is disposed within the duct on the rear side of the cabinet with the plurality of flat microchannel tubes inclined at a first predefined angle with respect to a horizontal plane such that the headers on both sides of the flat microchannel tubes are at different elevations.
A heat exchanger for a refrigerated display cabinet, the heat exchanger comprising:
- a first header and a second header disposed within a rear side of a duct associated with the cabinet, wherein the duct extends from a bottom front side of the cabinet to a top front side of the cabinet via the rear side of the cabinet;
- and
- a plurality of flat microchannel tubes extending parallelly between and fluidically connecting the first header and the second header, wherein the plurality of flat microchannel tubes is inclined at a first predefined angle with respect to a horizontal plane such that the first header and the second header on both sides of the flat microchannel tubes are at different elevations.
A refrigerated display cabinet comprising:
- a case comprising one or more shelves extending between side walls of the case to form a conservation space to support and store one or more products therewithin;
- a duct extending from a bottom front side of the cabinet to a top front side of the cabinet via a rear side of the cabinet;
- and
- at least one heat exchanger comprising one or more headers, a plurality of flat microchannel tubes, and louvered fins disposed between at least some of the plurality of flat microchannel tubes such that a louvered airflow path is formed between the adjacent louvers;
- wherein the at least one heat exchanger is disposed within the duct on the rear side of the cabinet with the plurality of flat microchannel tubes inclined at a first predefined angle with respect to a horizontal plane such that the headers on both sides of the flat microchannel tubes are at different elevations.
