Abstract
A merchandiser including a case that defines a shelf configuration and that has a base and a rear wall cooperating to at least partially define a product display area. The merchandiser also includes an air passageway that extends through base and at least partially along the rear wall, and a fan that is in communication with the air passageway and that generates an airflow through the air passageway. The merchandiser further includes a discharge grill and a vane control. The discharge grill is positioned in the air passageway and has one or more vanes with a discharge angle to direct the airflow through the case. The vane control is coupled to the one or more vanes and has a mechanism that adjusts the discharge angle of the one or more vanes to control the airflow through the merchandiser based at least in part on the shelf configuration.
