Shop fittings

Choosing refrigeration for a shop

Shop refrigeration includes multideck displays, serve-over counters, cabinets and refrigerated wells. First choose self-contained units, with an integral compressor and electrical connection, or remote equipment connected by pipework to a central refrigeration system. Consider installation flexibility, noise and heat released into the shop.

Compare temperature ranges (+2…+8 chilled, −18…−22 frozen), length, shelf number, night blinds, doors and lighting. Decide whether customers serve themselves or staff serve them.

What to check

• Shop size: a group of 5–6 self-contained units may be practical; for a larger installation, assess a central system.
• Heat and noise: a self-contained unit rejects heat into the sales area.
• Doors can reduce multideck display energy use by up to 40 %, although customers must open them to reach products. Actual savings depend on the installation.
• Night blinds and LED lighting.
• Consider a single installation and maintenance partner for the whole fit-out.

Where to use it

Small shops and kiosks can use self-contained displays and counters. Larger shops may benefit from a central system. Serve-over counters suit bakery products and delicatessen food; self-service multidecks suit drinks and dairy.
