ABSTRACT:
This open show-case has inner and outer air ducts, a first evaporator and a first blower in said inner duct (an inner evaporator and an inner blower, respectively), and a second evaporator and a second blower in said outer duct, said blowers circulating the air to form at least two layers of air curtains running between respective upper ports at the upper end of the front opening of said show-case and respective lower ports at the lower end of said opening. The show-case is operated by: providing high pressure refrigerant only through the inner evaporator via a decompression valve to thereby evaporate the refrigerant therein during refrigeration operation by the inner evaporator, without passing the refrigerant through the outer evaporator; and providing high pressure refrigerant to the inner evaporator and to the outer evaporator via a decompression valve during defrosting operation for the inner evaporator, with the outer blower driven at a higher speed than a normal speed and the inner blower driven in a reverse direction at a slower speed than a normal speed.
