Open-front multi-deck chillers provide convenient access to chilled products, but maintaining refrigeration performance after store hours can add to operating costs.
Night blinds help reduce the exchange of cold air with the surrounding store environment when the supermarket is closed. Used correctly, they can reduce the refrigeration load during off-peak hours.
How Do Night Blinds Help?
Reduced Heat Gain Closing night blinds after business hours helps limit warm-air infiltration and reduce heat entering the display cabinet.
Lower Refrigeration Demand With less heat entering the cabinet, the refrigeration system may need less cooling during overnight periods. Actual energy savings depend on cabinet design, store conditions, and operating schedules.
Night blinds should be used according to the cabinet manufacturer’s instructions. Product loading, airflow openings, temperature settings, and defrost controls must remain appropriate for the equipment.
