Dual Temp Multideck Cabinet The Dual Temp Multideck Cabinet advances commercial refrigeration effectiveness significantly with its zoned temperature control and high-density storage configuration. For instance, a supermarket chain implements double-temperature shelf cabinets (upper shelf 0-5℃, lower shelf -2~3℃), one shelf for keeping dairy products and fresh meat at the same time, storage density 45kg/m³ (the conventional single temperature shelf cabinet is 30kg/m³), 50% increase of shelf utilization rate, US $12,000 annual electricity saving (energy efficiency A++, energy consumption 0.8kW/h, 35% less than the single temperature shelf cabinet). According to Grand View Research statistics, in 2023 the market size of the global double temperature shelf was 2.7 billion US dollars, including the food retail penetration rate of 62%, because the independent control of the temperature zone (error ±0.5℃) can reduce the commodity loss rate from 8% to 2.5%, saving the annual cost of fresh returns of about 180,000 US dollars.
Regarding multi-functional suitability, the Dual Temp Multideck Cabinet provides dynamic temperature zone flipping (between -18 ° C to 10 ° C), for instance, a fresh food shop in the morning at 5 ° C for salad (85%±5% humid conditions), and in the noon switch to -5 ° C for frozen seafood (3 ° C/min cooling rate). Daily turnover per individual container is 1,200 pieces (40% improvement in efficiency) and 30% less capital purchasing to buy additional equipment (2 single temperature cabinets are required with conventional solution). Industry trials show that its shelf carrying load is up to 80kg/layers (EN 16825 standard), and the air circulating system (wind speed 0.4m/s) ensures temperature evenness (standard deviation ±0.3℃), and its product shelf life is extended by 25% (HACCP certification).
In terms of operating and maintenance expense, Dual Temp Multideck Cabinet utilizes antibacterial stainless steel inner liner (bacteriostatic rate 99.9%, ISO 22196 standard) and self-draining design (drainage flow rate 2L/min), reducing the cleaning cycle from 2 times a day to 3 times a week, with 60% of maintenance time saved. After deployment of a catering firm, after FDA 21 CFR and EU 1935/2004 regulations, there was a decrease in the annual health penalty by $50,000, an extension of equipment life to 12 years (8 years for standard cabinets), and a failure rate of less than 0.3 times/year (industry average is 1.2 times/year). According to the AHRI (Air Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration Association), its dual-cycle refrigeration system (R290 refrigerant, GWP=3) reduces carbon emissions by 85% compared to the conventional R404A model, and the carbon credits benefit is $4,200 every year.
Under extreme environments, the Dual Temp Multideck Cabinet provides stable internal temperature (fluctuation ±0.8 ° C) in tropical environments with double-layer insulating glass (thermal transfer coefficient K≤0.4W/m²·K) and wide-temperature compressor (versatility to ambient temperature 43 ° C). After the implementation of a Southeast Asian supermarket, the hot season fresh loss rate decreased from 15% to 4%, average daily traffic increased by 22%, due to transparent cabinets (92% light transmittance) to increase product visibility, impulse purchase rate increased by 18%. According to Intertek, when the humidity inside such cabinets is 90%RH, the defrosting frequency is reduced from 3 times a day to 0.5 times, and 28% energy is conserved.
Regarding return on investment, Dual Temp Multideck Cabinet is costly at first (approximately $8,000- $15,000), but has multi-category mixed display capacity, and a neighborhood supermarket saves 30% of floor area by reducing the number of devices from four to two. Efficiency increases to $650 / sf/year (industry average $480) and payback period decreases to 2.1 years. MarketsandMarkets expects that by 2027, the share of dual-temperature shelf cabinets in smart retail applications will reach 74%, because its IoT temperature control module (remote alarm response < 10 minutes) can reduce 45% of the cost of operation and maintenance risk, and become the primary solution for the upgrading of food cold chain.
