The Hydra-Kool KGV-MO-4-R Open Air Merchandiser
The Hydra-Kool KGV-MO-4-R is a four-section open-front grab-and-go case that spans nearly 100 inches, providing 71.31 cubic feet of refrigerated display with nothing between the customer and the product. Four sections give you enough room to dedicate individual bays to beverages, sandwiches, dairy, and desserts, keeping categories visually separated while maintaining consistent temperature across the entire run. The open front is ideal for supermarket perimeter aisles, large deli areas, or institutional cafeterias where high throughput and easy access matter more than the energy savings a doored case would provide.
Open Front Display with Forced Air Cooling and Adjustable Shelving
The completely open front eliminates any barrier between customers and product, so shoppers can grab a drink, a sandwich, or a prepared salad without pulling a handle or waiting for a door to close. Each section holds five adjustable shelves that can be tilted and fitted with product stops, letting you angle bottles and packaged items toward the aisle for better visibility while keeping them from sliding forward. Forced air refrigeration circulates cold air across all shelf levels and maintains the interior between 33 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit even with the front fully exposed to the store environment.
Because there are no doors to contain cold air, the remote condensing unit needs to provide significantly higher BTU capacity than a doored model of the same width. A retractable night curtain pulls down across the open front after hours, reducing cold air loss and compressor run time overnight. Temperature and defrost are managed by a digital controller, and the case requires a hard-wired electrical connection and a floor drain for condensate removal.
LED Lighting and Multiplexable Construction
LED strips in the canopy and under each shelf light products from above and below, keeping labels and colors accurate without adding meaningful heat to the cabinet. On an open-front case where the compressor is already working harder to maintain temperature, every bit of reduced heat load from the lighting matters. LEDs also last longer than fluorescent tubes, so you spend less time swapping bulbs on a case that may stretch 10 or 12 feet across an aisle.
The exterior features a silver PVC-coated steel front panel with foamed polystyrene black end panels and a black steel kick plate. Multiple cases can be joined side by side with optional joining kits to create an extended merchandising run, and the interior end panels on connected units can be removed for a seamless look. The interior is PVC-coated steel in gray for easy wipe-down cleaning, and CFC-free injected foam insulation lines the cabinet walls. Standard leveling feet keep the unit stable on uneven floors. The case uses R404a refrigerant and is rated for environments up to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 55 percent relative humidity.
The KGV-MO-4-R measures 99-3/8 inches wide by 31-1/2 inches deep by 77-3/4 inches high. As a remote unit, the case draws 2.8 total amps and requires 18,436 BTUs from the condensing unit. Net weight is 912 lbs and shipping weight is 1,332 lbs. The unit ships in a crate measuring 104 by 36 by 85 inches.
