Dual-System Convenience Store Refrigerator & Freezer Display Cabinet

The DII Series Convertible Refrigerator & Freezer Display Cabinet is designed for convenience stores, supermarkets, food retailers and commercial outlets that need one cabinet platform capable of supporting both chilled and frozen merchandising.

Its main advantage is the dual-compressor, dual-refrigeration-system design, allowing the cabinet to be configured for either 2°C to 8°C refrigeration or -18°C to -22°C freezing. This gives retailers greater flexibility when product categories change throughout the year or when different stores require different temperature applications.

The series is available in two configurations. The standard DII models use double-layer insulating tempered glass doors, while the DII-G models use upper-and-lower sliding glass doors for convenient product access and reduced opening clearance.

Inside the cabinet, food-grade pre-coated aluminum provides a clean storage surface, while adjustable shelves allow different products to be displayed efficiently. An enlarged copper-aluminum fin evaporator, Secop compressor configuration and CAREL controller support reliable commercial refrigeration performance.

Capacities range from 165L to 440L, making the series suitable for everything from compact convenience-store displays to longer commercial merchandising counters.

Features

Dual Compressor, Dual Refrigeration System

The cabinet uses a dual-compressor and dual-system architecture, providing greater flexibility than a conventional single-temperature display cabinet.

This allows the same cabinet platform to serve different chilled and frozen merchandising requirements.

Convertible Chiller and Freezer Operation

The unit supports two application ranges:

Refrigeration: 2°C to 8°C
Freezing: -18°C to -22°C

This makes the series suitable for retailers whose product mix changes seasonally or between store locations.

Double-Layer Insulating Tempered Glass

Standard DII models use double-layer hollow tempered glass doors to maintain good product visibility while improving thermal insulation.

Sliding Glass Door Option

DII-G configurations feature upper-and-lower sliding glass doors.

The sliding structure provides convenient access while avoiding the clearance required by outward-opening doors.

Food-Grade Pre-Coated Aluminum Interior

The inner liner uses food-grade pre-coated aluminum for a clean, durable and practical commercial storage environment.

Enlarged Copper-Aluminum Evaporator

The enlarged finned evaporator is designed with approximately 30% additional capacity margin according to the supplied product information.

This helps support rapid temperature pull-down and commercial refrigeration demand.

Adjustable Interior Shelves

Shelf positions can be changed to accommodate products of different heights and package dimensions.

This makes the cabinet suitable for beverages, dairy products, packaged foods and frozen merchandise.

Front Dual Protection Bars

Dual front bumper bars help protect the cabinet from accidental contact with shopping carts, stock trolleys and other equipment in busy retail environments.

Self-Evaporating Condensate System

Condensate water is automatically evaporated, reducing the need for store staff to manually empty a water tray.

Magnetic Front Panel

The magnetic front cover provides easier access during cleaning, drainage inspection and routine maintenance.

Heavy-Duty Swivel Castors

Large universal castors make the cabinet easier to move during installation, store cleaning or retail layout changes.

Technical Specifications – DII Series

Technical Specifications – DII-G Sliding Glass Door Series

Standard Door vs. Sliding Door Models

DII Standard Series

The standard DII cabinet emphasizes double-layer insulating tempered glass and straightforward chilled/frozen merchandising.

It is suitable for commercial locations where transparent product presentation and strong insulation are priorities.

DII-G Sliding Door Series

The DII-G series uses upper-and-lower sliding glass doors.

This configuration is particularly useful where the cabinet is installed in areas with limited front clearance or where customers require quick access to merchandise.

Model Selection

165L – DII-160 / DII-160G

The compact 165L configuration is suitable for smaller convenience stores, service counters or limited product assortments.

260L – DII-240 / DII-240G

The 260L models provide more merchandising space while maintaining a manageable commercial footprint.

350L – DII-320 / DII-320G

With a 1.40 m² display area, the 350L configuration is suitable for medium-volume chilled or frozen retail sections.

440L – DII-410 / DII-410G

The largest 440L models provide a 1.78 m² display area and a cabinet width exceeding 2.6 meters, making them suitable for larger stores and broader product assortments.

Application

Convenience Stores

The convertible temperature function allows operators to adapt the cabinet to different product categories.

It can be used for chilled products during one merchandising period and frozen products when store requirements change.

Supermarkets

Suitable for promotional areas, specialty food zones and commercial display sections requiring flexible temperature operation.

Chilled Beverage and Food Display

In refrigerator mode, typical applications can include:

• Bottled beverages
• Dairy products
• Yogurt
• Chilled desserts
• Sandwiches
• Packaged ready-to-eat food

Frozen Food Display

In freezer mode, the cabinet can accommodate:

• Frozen meat
• Seafood
• Frozen vegetables
• Frozen ready meals
• Frozen snacks
• Desserts

provided product storage requirements correspond with the cabinet’s operating range.

Seasonal Product Merchandising

The dual-temperature capability is particularly useful for retailers whose merchandising strategy changes throughout the year.

One cabinet can support chilled seasonal products during one period and frozen products during another.

Foodservice and Specialty Retail

The range can also be used in bakeries, cafés, specialty food stores and foodservice outlets that need flexible commercial refrigeration equipment.

Why Choose a Convertible Refrigerator Freezer?

A conventional commercial display refrigerator normally operates within one temperature category.

The DII series offers a different approach by supporting both positive-temperature refrigeration and negative-temperature freezing from one cabinet platform.

This can help retailers:

• Adapt to seasonal product changes
• Reduce the need for separate cabinet types
• Standardize equipment across multiple stores
• Use the same footprint for chilled or frozen merchandising
• Respond more flexibly to changes in product demand

This dual-mode capability is the strongest differentiation from your conventional refrigerator-only or freezer-only product series.

Dual-System Refrigeration Advantages

The dual-compressor and dual-system architecture is particularly valuable for convertible commercial refrigeration.

Instead of depending on a basic single refrigeration circuit, the system is designed to provide the refrigeration capability required for substantially different chilled and frozen temperature ranges.

Combined with the enlarged evaporator, the design provides additional refrigeration reserve for demanding retail environments.

Retail Protection and Maintenance Design

Commercial cabinets positioned in convenience stores and supermarkets can experience frequent contact with carts and stocking equipment.

The dual front protection bars provide additional protection for the cabinet body.

For maintenance, the magnetic front panel allows convenient access, while the self-evaporating condensate system eliminates routine manual water disposal.

Large swivel castors also make the cabinet easier to move when maintenance or store rearrangement is required.
