Glacier Bay's Trimline^tm Hybrid Plates are very different from the flat plate evaporators and antifreeze "holding plates" made by manufacturers and include several features exclusive to Glacier Bay.  Two of the most important of these features are our patented, 100% stainless-steel internal evaporator tubing coil known as the "Spider Coil" and, our proprietary chemical Eutectic Solutions TSS+26 or TSS-12. By incorporating the Spider Coil evaporator coil and TSS eutectic solutions, Glacier Bay Holding Plates provide energy efficiency, box temperature stability and holdover capacity superior to any system on the market.

Trimline^tm Plates come in four standard sizes.  Custom sizes are also available.  To determine which size is required for your installation you'll first need to work out your icebox heat load.  Or, if you prefer, contact your local Glacier Bay authorized dealer or Glacier Bay sales department directly for a computer heat load analysis.

* The dimensions given are the total space required for the plate and include the expansion valve and tubing connections. All plates are 2.25" thick and have a .5" standoff. Custom sizes are available at an additional charge.

**  The "cooling capacity" is the amount of heat that the the plates will remove per hour with a 10^o F temperature differential between the eutectic and surrounding air.  Trimline plates are not sized by "holdover".  When sized to match the heat load, the box air temperature will be 10^o F higher than the eutectic solution (+26^oF refrigerator, -12^oF freezer).  To determine the plate(s) needed, take the total box heat load from our Box Heat Load Calculator and divide by 24.  Choose a plate or combination of plate with a cooling capacity equalto, or greater than, that number.
