ABSTRACT:
A modular refrigerated food container system for use in buffet bars in restaurants and the like includes a plurality of food storage receptacles for receiving food and a plurality of receptacle temperature maintaining modules where each temperature maintaining module is configured to receive the food storage receptacle and is configured to thermally communicate with the food storage receptacle to maintain a predetermined temperature of the food storage receptacle. Each temperature maintaining module is fluidly connected to adjacent temperature maintaining modules and a refrigeration device operatively coupled to the plurality of temperature maintaining modules provides thermal exchange fluid to each temperature maintaining module. Each temperature maintaining module further includes a thermally conducting inside wall, a substantially insulating outside wall, and a heat exchange device disposed therebetween. A thermostat regulates the temperature of each temperature maintaining module independent of the temperature of adjacent temperature maintaining modules.
