FWE ASU-9 AIR SUPREMACY AIR SCREEN
PERFORMANCE, INTENDED USE & CABINET FEATURES
-7-
PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW:
The Air Screen Refrigerator is specifically designed to operate in demanding environments.
Hold 40°F (4.4°C) temperature or below for 180 minutes depending upon application and operation conditions.
Examples that may alter performance include room temp, humidity, surrounding air exchanges, voltage,
internal temperature of food product placed into the ASU-9, profile of food product, and food product density.
When the door of the unit is closed, it operates as a force air refrigerator with a highly efficient refrigeration system
that provides faster “pull down” and “recovery” times than standard refrigerators. When the door is opened, a series
of blower fans create a “wall” of air and areas of pressure, localizing a unique pattern of air from both the left and
right side walls. This movement across the cabinet opening helps to keep the cold air in and the warm air out of the
food zone and is specifically designed to help maintain and prolong the interior cabinet temperature and, thus, help
maintain internal food product temperatures for extended periods of time with the door open, contributing to safer
product storage during service hours. This Air Screen seals itself around objects and is ideal for hospital and nursing
home tray line / assembly line kitchen operations, flight kitchens, cafeterias, fast food and QSR applications.
For best results, the air curtain was designed for “low profile” food products typical of these applications.
TYPICAL OPERATING PARAMETERS:
The “SCREEN” of air is capable of maintaining 40°F (4.4°C) temperature
or below for an extended period of time up to 180 minutes conditional.
HOWEVER,
actual time
your ASU-9 will run in this temperature zone depends
on many factors, such as:
• Room ambient temperature
• Humidity levels
• Air disruption (such as a hood, vent, or air return)
• Amount of time unit was allowed to precondition the food(s)
• Food temperatures when placed into the unit
• Type of food packaging and profile of foods
• Regularly maintained and CLEANED condensing unit
FULL SWING DOOR WITH MAGNETIC HOLD OPEN CATCH:
Door opens to lay flat against cabinet and is secured by a magnetic door
edge “catch”. In addition, when the door is closed, it also is secured
magnetically, thus removing the need of a cumbersome door latch.
TRAY SLIDES:
Nine (9) pairs of removable stainless steel tray slides
are provided standard at 4-1/2'' spacing. Each tray slide can
accommodate one (1) 18'' x 26'' pan / tray.

OPTIONAL COMPRESSOR CYCLING FEATURE:
A Conditional Performance Preference Setting
Door Open
OPTIONAL SETTING
results in an alternative compressor performance mode.
During
Door Open Standard Mode
(factory default setting), the compressor is
CONTINUOUSLY ON
.
This may become too cold for some delicate food products or some produce may freeze, such as lettuce.
For some applications or conditions, you may prefer the
Door Open Optional Setting Mode
.
The compressor will
CYCLE
rather than be ‘continuously on’ and adjusts compartment to set temperature.
To place into
Door Open Optional Setting Mode
