Abstract
A refrigerated merchandiser includes a case defining a product display area and an air passage separate from the product display area. The case includes a rear wall separating in part the product display area from a vertical portion of the air passage. The rear wall includes apertures near a lower portion of the product display area. The apertures communicate between the vertical portion of the air passage and the lower portion of the product display area. The refrigerated merchandiser also includes a fan positioned in the air passage to generate an airflow through the passage and an evaporator positioned in the vertical portion of the air passage adjacent the rear wall and at an oblique angle to allow the airflow to pass through the evaporator, through the apertures, and into the lower portion of the product display area.
