Freezer IGLOO LVL180L

A supermarket freezer showcase keeps frozen food visible and accessible while maintaining a steady low temperature. The unit circulates chilled air through a ventilated system, drawing heat away from the products and expelling it through an external condenser. This dynamic cooling method ensures even temperatures across the entire display area, preventing warm spots that could compromise food safety. The external power supply moves the heat-generating components outside the shop, reducing noise and heat inside the sales space while improving energy efficiency.

To operate the showcase, the external condenser is connected and powered on. The electronic temperature regulator is set to the desired range between -22 and -18 °C, and the automatic defrost cycle begins once the system reaches the target temperature. Sliding glass covers and folding doors allow staff to load or restock products without exposing the entire display to ambient air. The two-level shelving system can be adjusted in height to accommodate different package sizes, while price sheets and LED lighting highlight the products for customers. Thermometers placed within the display area provide a visual check of the internal temperature, ensuring compliance with food safety standards.

The showcase is constructed with a stainless steel base plinth and coated aluminium and steel panels, available in various colours to match shop aesthetics. Triple-glazed doors and a quadruple-glazed front pane reduce heat transfer while maximising product visibility. Ecological polyurethane foam insulation further improves thermal efficiency, and a siphoned condensate drain with a 40 mm connecting pipe handles moisture removal. The mechanical expansion valve regulates refrigerant flow, adapting to different refrigerants such as R448 A, R449 A, R450 A, R407F, R404 A, or R507.

A 5.04 kW power rating indicates the load the unit places on the electrical supply, requiring a dedicated circuit to avoid overloading. The 230 V, 50 Hz voltage specification matches standard UK commercial power outlets, simplifying installation. The unit's footprint of 3750 mm long, 1050 mm wide, and 2040 mm high, plus an additional 10 mm clearance, dictates the floor space required in the shop layout. The weight, though not specified, suggests the need for a stable, level surface and possible assistance during movement.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel and coated surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The sliding glass covers and folding doors should be removed periodically for thorough cleaning to maintain clarity and hygiene. The condensate drain must be checked regularly to prevent blockages, and the LED lighting system requires no maintenance beyond occasional dusting. The electronic temperature regulator and thermometers should be inspected to ensure accurate readings, and the automatic defrost cycle reduces the need for manual defrosting.

The showcase is designed for remote operation, meaning the condenser unit is installed separately, typically outside or in a utility area. The front panels, price sheets, and shelving are available in various colours to suit different shop designs. The unit is categorised as a supermarket freezer showcase, placing it in the refrigeration section of professional catering equipment catalogues.
