Abstract
A refrigerated merchandiser (100) includes an upright, open-front, insulated cabinet (110) defining a product display area (125) connected in airflow communication with a compartment (120) via an air circulation circuit (122, 114, 116). An evaporator (40) and a plurality of spaced fans (70) are disposed in a forced draft arrangement within compartment (120) with flow baffle (150) disposed therebetween to provide increased flow resistance whereby a more uniform velocity profile is provided entering the evaporator.
