- •
2D CFD models were developed for a refrigerated display cabinet with or without integrated PCM.
- •
The simulation results showed that energy savings could be achieved for the cabinet with PCM.
- •
Further benefits included greater stabilization of product temperatures for the cabinet with PCM.
- •
The validated models can be used to evaluate the cabinet performance and control strategies.
