Multi-directional air flow creates a "curtain" of cold air that allows the door to remain open during mealtime tray assembly. Airflow is directed across the cabinet opening to keep hot air out and cold air in. ACRs are designed to maintain cold food at temperatures of 41°F or less while the door is open. Designed for mobility and greater stability, ACRs are equipped with casters and a refrigeration condensing unit mounted at the bottom of the cabinet.
