A refrigerator includes a main body that has a storage chamber and a drying chamber; a thermoelectric module that includes a heat absorber and a heat dissipater; a cooling fan that circulates air in the storage chamber to the heat absorber and the storage chamber; a heat-dissipating fan that blows air to the heat dissipater; an air guide that has a passage for guiding air heated by the heat dissipater to the drying chamber; a heater that is disposed in the passage; and a damper that controls a flow of air in the passage between the heat-dissipating fan and the heater. Heat of the heat dissipater transfers to the drying chamber through the passage of the air guide and the damper, thereby being able to dry an object to be dried.

A storage chamber for a house entrance includes an entrance refrigerator, a first storage disposed adjacent to the entrance refrigerator, and a cold air supply assembly including a heat absorption part and a heat dissipation part to supply cold air to a storage space of the entrance refrigerator, wherein the heat dissipation part of the cold air supply assembly is disposed in the first storage.

A cooler can include a game table formed in a top surface thereof. The game table can include a game surface surrounded by side walls about its perimeter for storage of the game elements and to prevent game elements, such as game balls, from escaping from the recessed game surface. The game surface can include elements for various games, including foosball, hockey, football, pool, craps, roulette, chess, checkers, backgammon or the like. In some embodiments, the game elements may be interchanged to provide multiple different games that can be played in the recessed gaming surface. In some embodiments, game players may be disposed on arms that extend across the game table in a manner similar to conventional foosball players. Such arms may be made removable to permit changing between game player-based games and games that can be played directly on the recessed surface.

A refrigerated delivery receiving furniture system for discretely securing refrigerated items outside a structure such as a dwelling until the items can be brought into and stored within the structure includes a piece of furniture having a frame and a seat coupled to the frame. A container having an interior space is coupled to the piece of furniture. A lid is movably coupled to the container to selectively cover the interior space. The lid is movable between an open position and a closed position. A refrigeration is coupled to the container includes a compressor such that the refrigeration assembly cools the interior space.

A hatch device comprised by a main support body (3), a flow guide piece (24) and an optional plug (30), which allows for minimum modifications in the service hatch cover's (2) structure during installation, as shown in FIG. 7/9.

The present disclosure discloses a refrigeration mechanism and a cold storage warehouse. The refrigeration mechanism includes a compressor, configured to compress a refrigerant, so that the refrigerant flows in a pipeline; a condenser, configured to absorb heat of the refrigerant conveyed by the compressor, so that the gasified refrigerant becomes a liquid; an expansion valve, configured to perform throttling and pressure reduction to the liquid refrigerant; an evaporator, configured to exchange heat with outside air by using the refrigerant to implement refrigeration; and a driving component. The driving component includes an external combustion engine for driving the compressor and a material supply mechanism for providing fuel for the external combustion engine. Therefore, use of the electrical energy is reduced and the cost is reduced.

A remotely controlled, self-propelled floating cooler includes a main body member that generally has an ovoid shape, as shown, for streamlined movement through the water. The main body member is generally hollow, which allows for ice, drinks, food, and the like to be placed inside of the main body member through an opening or hatch on top. A lid may be removably secured to the opening on top, and preferably includes securing means for maintaining the lid in a closed position, even in rough water. Remotely controlled propulsion means are attached to an underside of the cooler on one end thereof. Other features include an audio receiver with speakers, port and starboard running lights, GPS navigation, submerged spotlights, and video cameras mounted above and below the waterline, all of which may be operated via a remote control device.

A control method for a refrigerator comprises: driving a first cooling fan to cool a first storage chamber; adjusting a damper to cause cold air to simultaneously flow through first and second cold-air passages; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the first cold-air passage, when the temperature of a high-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the high-temperature chamber; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the second cold-air passage, when the temperature of a low-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the low-temperature chamber; and driving a second cooling fan to cool a second storage chamber. When a predetermined time elapses or the sensed temperature of the high-temperature chamber reaches a first set temperature, the damper is adjusted to increase the opening angle of the first cold-air passage.

A dual-phase refrigeration system for chilled storage containers (CSC) aboard boats maintains cold temperatures in the CSC by chilling the airspace in the upper portion of the CSC. A cooling liquid is circulated through coils installed on an interior sidewall about an upper margin of the CSC. The cooling liquid chills the air in the upper portion of the CSC which creates a thermodynamic airflow within the CSC which aids in cooling. The temperature of the cooling liquid is maintained by a heat exchange with a Non-Ozone Depleting Hydrofluorocarbon (NODHFC) refrigerant which, in turn, is cooled by a heat exchange with circulating water sourced from the body of water supporting the boat. If ice is added to the CSC, the cooling liquid in the coils reduces the air temperature and optimizes thermodynamic airflow to eliminate the temperature differential across air/ice interface and maintains the quality of the ice.

The present disclosure relates to a cryocooling system and method. The system includes a sample well and a sample chamber, each of which having an interior that is sized and shaped to hold a cryocooling gas at cryogenic temperatures and a pressure below 1 atm. The sample chamber is also sized and shaped to hold a sample substance to be cryocooled. An impedance tube connects the interior of the sample well to the interior of the sample chamber to allow cryocooling gas to move from the sample well to the sample chamber. A vacuum tube is connected to the interior of the sample chamber on one side and to a vacuum pump via a vacuum port on the other. The vacuum tube is sized and shaped to allow cryocooling gas within the sample chamber to be pumped out of the sample chamber by the vacuum pump.
