The Function of Curtains in Open Chillers
Open chillers, whether used for preservation or refrigeration, typically come equipped with a curtain. This is a crucial design element that is usually located at the top of the open chiller. If you have an open chiller and don’t see a curtain, it’s advisable to check the top area of the open chiller display thoroughly.
Although the term “curtain” may sound similar to “window curtain,” their functions are quite different. While window curtains block sunlight, curtains—also known as night blinds, air curtains, night shields, or night covers—are an essential part of open chillers. They are primarily used during non-operational hours or at night to maintain the internal temperature, reduce the leakage of cold air, decrease the compressor’s operating time, save energy, and prevent insects from entering the open chiller.
Structure of the Curtain
The night curtain operates on a mechanism similar to that of a roll-up door. It is typically fixed at both ends of the open chiller, with rollers facilitating the extension and retraction of the curtain. By pulling the handle ring at the end of the curtain, you can either roll it up or pull it down. Made from transparent material, the curtain does not obstruct the display of products even when it’s down. However, it can be slightly inconvenient for customers to access products when the curtain is in use, so it is recommended to use the curtain during low traffic periods or after business hours.
Benefits of Using a Curtain
- Temperature Maintenance: The curtain helps in maintaining the internal temperature of the open chiller, ensuring that products remain fresh for longer periods.
- Energy Efficiency: By reducing the leakage of cold air, the night curtain decreases the compressor’s workload, leading to significant energy savings.
- Protection from Insects: The curtain acts as a barrier against insects, keeping the open chiller’s contents hygienic and safe.
- Operational Efficiency: Reduced compressor operation not only saves energy but also extends the lifespan of the open showcase chiller.
