Abstract
A refrigerated display merchandiser is provided that includes a microchannel evaporator positioned within the merchandiser such that both the fins and the tubes of the microchannel evaporator are vertically oriented or substantially vertically oriented with respect to a vertical axis of the refrigerated display merchandiser, thus more reliably ensuring removal of condensate from the microchannel evaporator.
