ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are directed to positioning proximate cooling units in novel ways in refrigerated food service and display units. Preferred embodiments include one or more of the following: (1) positioning the top of a side-pan cooling element above the top of an adjacent food pan; (2) positioning at least a portion of a side-pan cooling element above a portion of the opening of a food pan; (3) positioning multiple side-pan cooling elements between adjacent food pans; (4) movably positioning a side-pan cooling element relative to an adjacent food pan; (5) positioning a plate type side-pan cooling element as a non-linear divider among adjacent food pans, and (6) providing a pan cooler with a low capacity fan which allows cooled air to be recirculated about the food pans substantially independently of air circulation within any storage area of the refrigeration unit. In most preferred embodiments, the pan cooler has a finless sub-pan cooling element.
