There are two main types of open chillers—plug-in multideck chillers and remote multideck chillers.
Plug-In Multideck Chiller
A self-contained open chiller with refrigeration unit inside. Easy to install, suitable for various store layouts.
Remote Multideck Chiller
Utilizes a remote refrigeration system located separately. Provides larger displaying spaces and better energy efficiency.
Key Differences
Design: Plug-in has higher basement for refrigeration units; remote has separate system with larger display space.
Installation: Plug-in is easier; remote requires ducts or pipes.
Energy Efficiency: Remote is more efficient as heat is isolated from display area.
