We often see supermarket fridges that have no doors – called open fridges or open display fridges. Are they wasteful?
Power Consumption
An open display fridge consumes about 42kwh/24h compared to 6.4kwh/24h for a glass door display fridge. Open display fridges have significantly higher power consumption.
Why Do Supermarkets Use Them?
- Merchandising: Excellent visibility and easy access
- Convenience: Quick grab without opening doors
- Aesthetics: Open and inviting atmosphere
- Sales Increasing: Higher profits despite power costs
Conclusion
Open display fridges are worth investing in for hypermarkets and large grocery stores. Contact Acenox for customized commercial refrigeration solutions.
