FAQs

Why do you need an evaporator fan for your commercial refrigerators?

The function of the evaporator fan motor in the refrigerator is to enhance the circulation of cold air inside the cabinet to maintain an even temperature. It enables the fridge to achieve the best cooling effect and keeps your foods or beverages always cool enough for your consumers.

The evaporator fan stops running when you open the fridge door. What’s that for?

“Door Opens, Fan Stops” will help you save energy and extend the lifetime of your fridge. In other words, the only reason for this function is to save your money. Imagine that if the fan does not stop working when the door is open, it will continuously blow the cold air out of the cabinet, and more hot air will come in. The increase of the inside temperature will make the other parts like compressor and condenser spend more time and energy to work.

It’s a small change in the buildup, but a big advantage for you. If you’re a seller of refrigeration appliances in the market, you will hear less repair or troubleshooting problems from your customers. If you’re a frozen food or beverage promoter, you will see your consumers’ happy smile from more ice-cold drinks.

Have you ever calculated how many times will the door be open by consumers in one day? There might be 100 at least, right? And you must know that many consumers are used to opening the door before they have decided which products to buy. So it would not be a short moment. Now you know why you receive higher electricity bills every month than your competitors but your refrigerators have a shorter lifetime.

How does “Door Opens, Fan Stops” work? Will it cost you a lot?

We will install an elastic switch on the door and the cabinet to control the fan. Whether it is a hinged door or a sliding door, the working principle is the same, except that the switch structure and installation position are different. When the door is closed, the elastic switch is pressed and the fan is turned on to run. When you open the door, the switch is not pressed and the fan is turned off and stops running.

The installation of this function is a low and one-time cost. But the extended operating time of the refrigerator without this function is a long-term cost. And don’t forget that the worst problem is that your refrigerator is easy to be scrapped earlier than it should be.

Is “Door Opens, Fan Stops” a Must function for all glass door refrigerators?

Yes, if it’s a freezer (inside < -18 °C). But it is not a must for refrigerators (inside 2~8 °C). That is because the inside temperature of the freezer is lower than that of the refrigerator, the cooling time is longer and the energy consumption is higher. Therefore, our upright freezers come standard with the function of “Door Opens, Fan Stops”.

Meanwhile, this function can also be used in the refrigerators, depending on your needs. For example, if your POS is in the tropics, such as the Middle East, the temperature contrast between the inside and outside of the refrigerator is very large and we’ll recommend you add this function to reduce energy consumption.
