Refrigerated showcases are very different. They differ in the type of cooling of the inner chamber, the temperature regime, the dimensions, the defrosting method, the shape of the glass, and the like. Therefore, when choosing this equipment, consider the following indicators:
- Temperature mode
According to this criterion the showcases are divided into low-temperature (-9 ... -13 ºС), medium temperature (0 ... + 8 ºС) and universal (+ 5 ... -5 ºС). Please note that for the storage of semi-finished products, meat and fish, universal units are most suitable. Frozen products should be stored in low-temperature plants, and dairy products and sausages should be stored in medium-temperature ones.

- type of cooling
The cooling system for showcases can be static (natural) or dynamic (forced). The static cooling system implies the supply of air to the work area from a certain point of installation. As a rule, in this equipment the temperature inside the chamber can vary throughout the day.
Dynamic cooling system is carried out with the help of fans. Thus, the flow of cold air is uniformly distributed throughout the chamber. The temperature inside this installation does not change. So, it's better to give your preference to models from the dynamic type of cooling.

- Compressor
This is the heart of the refrigerated display case. Therefore, it must be qualitative and powerful. The most reliable and popular are the compressors of Danfoss and Aspera trademarks.
- Material of the area for the calculation of goods
The best material for the demonstration area of the display case is stainless steel. It is safe to use and sturdy.
- Housing insulation
For the insulation of the housing in modern models of refrigeration equipment, polyurethane foam is used most often, which minimizes the cold-bottom losses perfectly. So, get showcases with a similar thermal insulation.
- Defrost type
Automatic or manual? Please note that the manual mode of thawing is "yesterday's" day. Make it easy for yourself - buy a showcase with an automatic defrost system.

- shape of glass
Typically, for glazing of similar equipment, bent or straight glass is used. Please note that bent glass visually increases your product, so the buyer will have a better view. For the front of the display case, it is preferable to use tempered glass. It is durable and resistant to minor damage.
- highlighting the internal volume of the camera
The illumination inside the camera is an important element of the display case. It can be simple (ordinary bulbs), LED or LED. The most economical - LED.
- ambient temperature and humidity, which are necessary for the normal operation of the display case
The room should not be above +32 degrees. Also, it is desirable that the relative humidity does not exceed 55%. These are the optimum conditions for the uninterrupted operation of the refrigeration system.
- location in the trading floor
Concerning this indicator showcases are island (bonnet), regalia, table and corner.
Bonuses can be placed not only at the wall, but in the center of the trading hall. They are functional and practical. The regalia are installed only along the wall. Desktop display cases are used in small shops. They are usually located near the ticket office. Compactness and affordable cost are key advantages of this type of refrigeration equipment. Angular shop windows are used in rooms with an unusual layout. They allow you to use the trading space as useful as possible.
