display case glass. Current methodologies for limiting condensation are energy intensive, typically requiring the installation of_x000D_
heaters near the glass, fans, or evaporator units. In addition, the build-up of condensation can create an environment that leads to_x000D_
food spoilage, and counter to the purpose of the display case, can impede the customers' view of the chilled food products on_x000D_
display. In an effort to inhibit the formation of condensation on display cases for chilled food products that is less energy intensive_x000D_
than the existing technology, we are proposing to develop a silicone coating that would prevent the glass from fogging up and_x000D_
would permit the easy removal of any condensed water from the surface of the glass., program purpose french : A major challenge in the production of display cases for chilled food products is avoiding the build-up of condensation on the_x000D_
