Overview 

Open-fronted display cabinets are widely used in commercial refrigeration, but retrofitting doors can present a number of practical considerations for end-users and those involved in the design, installation and maintenance of refrigeration systems.

This CoolTalk will introduce the new IOR Technology Brief and provide an opportunity to learn more about the issues that should be considered when retrofitting doors to existing open-fronted display cabinets.

The session will also place the guidance in the context of the IOR's wider environmental work and the findings of the Transport, Industrial and Commercial Refrigeration (TICR) project, which investigated energy use and greenhouse gas emissions across the TICR sectors.

Who should attend?

  • End-users
  • Designers
  • Consultants
  • Installers
  • Service and maintenance engineers
  • Anyone involved in the specification, retrofit or operation of refrigerated display cabinets

What will you take away?

The webinar will provide an opportunity to:

  • Understand the key considerations when retrofitting doors to open-fronted display cabinets
  • Consider the potential energy and environmental benefits of cabinet door retrofits
