A vacuum insulated refrigerator structure with a vacuum core material filled in around an elongated umbilical. The vacuum insulated refrigerator structure is made of a shell having a liner and a wrapper wherein the shell forms an internal cavity. A gas permeable casing surrounds the entire length of the elongated umbilical passing through the internal cavity of the shell. A vacuum tube is inserted at a first opening between the gas permeable casing and the elongated umbilical and a second end of the elongated umbilical is coupled to the shell at a second opening in the liner. A vacuum is formed in the internal cavity of the shell through the vacuum tube while adding the vacuum core material fill. In the shell, an elongated umbilical has one or more elongated internal passageways wherein the one or more utility lines may be routed through the one or more elongated internal passageways.

The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising a storage compartment and a mixed air passage. Both ends of the mixed air passage have air inlets, the middle portion of the mixed air passage comprises a mixed air outlet communicating with the storage compartment, and the mixed air passage is configured to receive air flows from the two air inlets such that two air flows enter the storage compartment in a mixed manner via the mixed air outlet. The refrigerator of this invention comprises a mixed air passage, so that the air in an area of the storage compartment with a relatively high temperature can enter the mixed air passage earlier than external air or the air in the storage compartment with a relatively low temperature. Then, the two air flows are blown to the storage compartment in a mixed manner, realizing even temperature distribution in the storage compartment.

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator having an improved configuration of an inner wall forming a storage compartment and capable of improving an appearance of the storage compartment. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, an inner case forming an inner space of the main body, and a cover plate installed inside the inner case to form an exterior of the storage compartment and formed of a ceramic material.

A modular container comprising a housing, a contained volume defined within the housing, and a door panel providing access to the contained volume in an open position and preventing access to the contained volume in a closed position. One or more interengagement features can be provided with the container such that a plurality of containers can be stacked atop each other to define a plurality of stacked containers. In some example embodiments, the container comprises at least one fan and one or more lights.

A refrigerator appliance and method of dispensing cooling air towards a targeted cooling zone for cooling objects within a fresh-food compartment. The dispensing of cooling air may be based in part on the temperature of the object within the targeted cooling zone.

A refrigeration appliance includes a refrigeration circuit with a variable speed compressor, an evaporator, and a variable speed evaporator fan. A controller is operatively connected to the refrigeration circuit and is programmed to calculate a heat load ratio as a ratio between the difference between the ambient temperature and the set point temperature of the fresh-food compartment and the difference between the ambient temperature and the freezer compartment reference point; calculate a speed of one or both of the variable speed compressor and the variable speed evaporator fan as a function of the calculated heat load ratio; and operate one or both of the variable speed compressor and the variable speed evaporator fan at the calculated speed. A method of controlling temperature in cavities of a refrigerator is also provided.

A reefer container configured to cool a gas inside a container body, including: the container body; a circulation line with a suction port and a blowout port each of which is disposed inside the container body; a compressor disposed in the circulation line and configured to compress the gas suctioned from inside the container body to the circulation line through the suction port; a heat exchanger disposed in the circulation line and configured to cool the gas compressed in the compressor; an expander disposed in the circulation line and configured to expand the gas cooled in the heat exchanger; and at least one separation device disposed in the circulation line and configured to separate some of components from the gas compressed in the compressor.
