Why refrigerated cabinet need plastic honeycomb?

March 12, 2025

The air outlet of the refrigerated cabinet is always exposed to cold air and moisture. When choosing materials, it is necessary to consider materials that with high air passage rate, corrosion - resistant and are lightweight. The plastic honeycomb structure has thin walls and uniform pore sizes. It is convenient for installation and maintenance, making it very suitable for being placed at the air outlet of the refrigerated cabinet.

Installing a through-hole plasticPChoneycomb core stripe enables the refrigerator to achieve the following effects

 

1.    Isolate air flow: Installing the plastic honeycomb mesh at the air outlet or inlet of the refrigerator can effectively isolate airflow, preventing cold air from directly blowing onto food and preventing the food from cooling or freezing too quickly. At the same time, the design of the honeycomb mesh is usually adjustable, allowing the direction and intensity of the cold air to be adjusted as needed, further optimizing the refrigeration effect.

2.    Improve refrigeration effect: The honeycomb mesh can create a cold air zone, gathering the cold air which accumulates at the bottom, thus enhancing the refrigeration effect. This design ensures a more even temperature inside the refrigerated cabinet, preventing local over-cooling or overheating, and thereby extending the freshness-keeping time of food.

3.    Flow equalization function: The honeycomb mesh plays a role in flow equalization when applied at the air outlet of the freezer. It ensures that the cold air is evenly distributed, preventing the cold air from directly blowing onto the food at the air outlet and causing local over-cooling. This design not only improves the refrigeration effect but also reduces energy consumption.


The flow-equalizing mesh for the vents of refrigerated display cabinets is usually made of PC plastic (polycarbonate). This material has minimal deformation at low temperatures, can withstand low temperatures down to - 40°C, and has an air permeability rate as high as 97%. It can ensure the even distribution of cold air and enable the cold air to reach farther distances. In addition, the structural design of the honeycomb mesh results in smooth and clean inner walls and a flat surface, further optimizing the circulation effect of the cold air.

 

Qingdao Achieving has been committed to producing environmentally - friendly and recyclable PC through-hole honeycomb cores for nearly two decades. The high-quality brand-new PC raw materials it selects are sourced from Sinopec, and these materials exhibit excellent performance in aspects such as recyclability, durability, heat resistance, chemical resistance, environmental friendliness, energy conservation, and recyclability. The aperture range of our PC honeycomb panels is: 3.5mm-8mm, the regular size of PC honeycomb panels is: 1220mm*2440mm, and the thickness of PC honeycomb panels is 5mm-100mm (the above can be customized according to customer requirements). In addition to customizing normally through-hole honeycomb core strips, we also provide the angles of honeycomb tubes customized service and cutting services for bevelled honeycomb strips Standard cell sizes are 3.5 and 8mm, and thicknesses range from 5 to 500 mm.
