ABSTRACT:
A refrigerated open display case has receptacles or holders for directly receiving wet-pack shipping containers, so that flowers do not need to be repacked into vases. A laminar flow of chilled air over the flowers establishes a laminar flow boundary layer with the warmer ambient air. An array of perforations serve as chilled air supply openings on the vertical riser walls, and chilled air is discharged in a laminar flow. A return air intake grille extends across the cabinet below the front of the lowermost shelf, in an undercut transverse recess. The front part of each shelf member has a chamfer or downward slope. The receptacles for the wet-pack containers can include cutouts that extend onto the chamfered front parts of the shelves. The forward wall of the container is exposed above the chamfer, which facilitates insertion and removal. Inside the cabinet, the coldest air leaving the evaporator coil passes in contact with the underside of the shelf members and with the containers. Alternatively, the containers can be suspended on hangers supported on the perforated vertical walls.
