Definitions
- the present invention relates to displays of exposure of food products, especially for sales areas.
- sales areas to preserve the freshness of certain food products, such as seafood (fish, seafood, shellfish ...), fruits or vegetables, and thus to promote their conservation, it is known to diffuse fine droplets of water around these food products.
- the generator must provide a predetermined minimum flow rate, usually 0.6L / hr / m 2 (Liter per hour per square meter), to be sufficiently efficient.
- a predetermined minimum flow rate usually 0.6L / hr / m 2 (Liter per hour per square meter)
- the object of the invention is in particular to remedy this disadvantage by providing a display of food products including a generator of small size and of sufficient power.
- the subject of the invention is an exposure display of food products, comprising
- the fine droplet generator comprises: a tank intended to receive the liquid to be diffused,
- an ultrasonic transmitter housed in the tank, intended to emit ultrasound in the liquid of the tank,
- An ultrasound focusing nozzle housed in the tank, for focusing the ultrasound to a point of the liquid.
- the generated ultrasound creates a depression in the liquid of the tank, which induces the creation of a jet of liquid at the outlet of the nozzle.
- the nozzle focuses the ultrasound to a precise point of this liquid, usually in the liquid jet.
- this fog being conveyed to the diffusion member by conventional means, for example by means of a stream of air carrying the droplets, then diffused towards the space d exhibition thanks to this diffusion organ.
