A refrigerated merchandiser includes a display case 10 having an open
front
and defining a product display space 30 wherein product 15 is hung
for display and customer access on a peg bar support system 50. Refrigerated
air passes into the product display space 30 through a back panel 24
perforated with air inlet holes 48. A baffle plate 60 lies superadjacent
the peg bar support system 50 and is positioned relative thereto so as to
provide an airflow gap 65 between its rearward edge 64 and the back
panel 24 and an airflow gap 63 between its forward edge 62 and
the tag moulding 58 of the peg bar support system 50. Refrigerated
air passes through the rearward and forward airflow gaps to cool the product displayed
on the peg bar support system. Additionally, the baffle plate may be perforated
with a plurality of holes to provide additional airflow passages 70 through
which further refrigerated air may pass to cool the product displayed on the peg
bar support system.
