ABSTRACT:
A storage apparatus is provided that comprises a display case part with an inside thereof being dividable into a plurality of zones, a supply duct that is connected to supply openings for supplying conditioning air for controlling environmental conditions to the plurality of zones respectively, and an exhaust duct that is connected to exhaust openings for taking in air from the plurality of zones. In this storage apparatus, conditioning air such as cold air or hot air is circulated in the respective zones, and the environmental conditions can be adjusted efficiently in zone basis. Therefore, in a storage apparatus equipped with an open-type display case part, it is possible to dispense with an air curtain covering the entire open side, so that a storage apparatus with a high storage capacity is provided.
