A heat exchanger includes fins that are spaced apart from each other, and that each include one or more tube slots. A coil is coupled to the fins and includes a tube section extending through axially aligned tube slots. A heater insert extends through one or more of the axially aligned tube slots adjacent an exterior of the tube section to defrost the heat exchanger.

Heat exchanger with heater insert

A refrigerated merchandiser including a case defining a product display area configured to support product, a refrigeration circuit in which a refrigerant circulates, and a dilution device coupled to the refrigeration circuit. The dilution device includes a valve assembly and a container supporting a pressurized fluid. The valve assembly is in fluid communication with the refrigeration circuit and is selectively variable to an open state to fluidly couple the container to the refrigeration circuit such that the fluid is discharged into the refrigeration circuit in response to a condition of the refrigeration circuit reaching or exceeding a predetermined threshold value.
