Door module for a refrigerated case
First Claim
1. A door module for a temperature controlled display device, comprising:
- a substantially transparent central panel having a planar portion integrally formed with a flange portion, the flange portion extending substantially about a perimeter of the planar portion and having a channel with a desiccant material disposed therein;
a first lateral panel disposed on a first side of the central panel in parallel relation to the planar portion and supported by a first side of the flange portion;
a second lateral panel disposed on a second side of the central panel in parallel relation to the planar portion and supported by a second side of the flange portion;
a first opening extending from the channel to a first space between the first lateral panel and the planar portion, and a second opening extending from the channel to a second space between the second lateral panel and the planar portion; and
a frame coupled to the flange portion.

Abstract
A door module for a refrigerated case includes a central panel with a peripheral flange. A first panel is disposed on one side of the central panel and is supported by the flange. A second panel is disposed on another side of the central panel and is supported by the flange. A first seal is disposed between the first side of the flange and the first panel, and a second seal is disposed between the second side of the flange and the second panel. A channel with a desiccant material is disposed within the flange. A first opening extends from the channel to a first space between the first panel and the central panel, and a second opening extends from the channel to a second space between the second panel and the central panel. A frame is coupled to the flange and overlaps the first and second panels.
