Summary

IT APPEARED POSSIBLE, UNDER CONDITIONS AS PRESENTED IN THE INVESTIGATION, TO OBTAIN A PRODUCT TEMPERATURE IN THE MODEL CABINET LOWER THAN 258 K (-15 DEG C), MEASURED AT 25 MM DEPTH IN THE TEST PACKAGE. FLUCTUATIONS IN TEMPERATURE WERE AT 255 K (-18 DEG C), PLUS OR MINUS 2 K. ONLY ONE DEFROSTING WAS NECESSARY IN 24 HOURS.< STANDARDISED > ENERGY CONSUMPTION AMOUNTED TO 2.98 KILOWATTHOUR/DAY PER M OF DISPLAY OPN THIS IS 60 % LOWER THAN THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF CURRENT CABINETS AT THE TIME THE RESEARCH STARTED. INCOMING RADIATION HEAT SEEMED TO PRESENT A HIGH BURDEN ON THE REFRIGERATION UNIT, REQUIRING MORE ATTENTION.
