A New Level of Performance for Fresh Food Storage
Warm air rises, cool air falls.
As a refrigerator cabinet increases in size, maintaining
temperature control becomes more challenging. As a cabinet
becomes taller the air has a greater ability to settle in layers.
This is called stratification. The warmer air rises to the top of
the cabinet while to cooler air settles to the bottom.
If the temperature control is at the top of the refrigerator,
cooling the cabinet enough to satisfy the thermostat can result in
the bottom of the refrigerator being too cold for the contents. A
common result is frozen lettuce. If the temperature control is in
the middle of the cabinet the top of the cabinet may be too
warm for optimum shelf life of dairy products.
Temperature stratification can have a major impact on the
longevity of fresh foods. To minimize this effect the Jenn-Air
®
Luxury™ Series of refrigerators keeps the air moving in the
fresh food section even when the temperatures are already at their optimum. This results
in temperature differences of one degree or less throughout the fresh food compartment.
Not all fresh foods are best kept at the same temperature. Fresh cuts of meat will keep
longer at a lower temperature (31F) than vegetables (34F) and citrus (38F). If you set the
fresh food section for the optimum temperature for one of these product the others will
not be at their best storage temperature.
Produce crispers and meat drawers can help this situation but the Jenn-Air® Luxury™
refrigerator takes this concept a step further. Using a feature known as Climate Zone
Technology (CZT) the system allows three different temperatures to be maintained in the
fresh food section. The main section can be set for good storage of dairy and condiments
as well as other foods. This temperature can be set to whatever the customer wants,
which could be approximately 37 degrees. One CZT module can be set to store the citrus
at 38 degrees and the other can be set to store meats at 31 degrees. It is almost like getting
three refrigerators in one cabinet. Fresh food will remain fresh longer when stored at the
right temperature.
The CZT drawers each have a fan motor and temperature control incorporated into their
construction. The control can open
a damper and allow the fan motor to
draw cooler air from the freezer
section if needed. If the drawer
needs to be warmer than the rest of
the fresh food compartment (fresh
food 35 and citrus at 38) there is a
small heating element that will
maintain the temperature selected
by the owner.
