A drinking water supply arrangement is provided for a RV, which uses fluid conduits separate from the other fresh water supply lines of the RV, separates the pump from the living RV compartment, provides independent pump controls, and stores conventional containers of drinking water in an exteriorly accessible, temperature controlled compartment, isolated from the living compartment.

Disclosed is a refrigerator and, more particularly, to a refrigerator including a water tank provided at a refrigerator door to store water therein. The refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage compartment, a door provided at the cabinet, a water tank separably coupled to the door, an inlet port formed in the door to allow water, stored in the water tank, to be introduced into the door, a support structure provided at the door to support the bottom of the water tank, a fixing unit provided at the door to fix the water tank, and a handle provided at the water tank to enable separation of the water tank from the fixing unit.

A water reservoir includes a casing that defines a water chamber. A cover is disposed around a portion of the casing. The cover defines an air chamber. An air handler is operable to urge of a flow of air through the air chamber of the cover. A related refrigerator appliance is also provided.

A food dispensing system (1) including a graphite-based compound (6) that increases the heat transfer between a food storage compartment (3) and adjacent pipes (4), which may contain a propylene glycol fluid, for cooling the food product stored within the storage compartment (3). To assist with the production of a frozen food product, the system (1) may include a freezing chamber (16) adjoined via graphite-based compound (6) to pipes (23) adapted to freeze the food product. A heating chamber (26) may also be adjoined via graphite-based compound (6) to piping (28) adapted to heat the food product stored within the heating chamber (26). A controller (31) may adjust the temperature of the fluids within the pipes (4, 23, 28) to store the food products at desired temperatures.

A refrigerator that may include a cabinet to define a storage space, a door to open and close the storage space, a dispenser provided in the door to dispense hot water, a hot water tank through which water flows so as to heat water introduced into the door, a heater provided in the door to heat the hot water tank, a water inflow passage through which water is supplied to the hot water tank, a water discharge passage guiding hot water discharged from the hot water tank to the dispenser, a flow rate sensor provided in the water inflow passage to measure a flow rate of water flowing through the water inflow passage, a water inflow valve provided in the water inflow passage to adjust a flow of water in the water inflow passage, a water discharge valve provided in the water outlet passage, an input provided in the door to input a temperature of the hot water to be dispensed and a hot water dispensing command, and a controller to control the water inflow valve and the water discharge valve.

A refrigerator appliance includes a water system. The water system has a fluid circuit and valve assembly. The valve assembly is configured to control flow through the fluid circuit. The valve assembly has a valve, at least one actuator disposed on the valve, and a framework configured to secure the at least one actuator to the valve. The framework has first and second upright members, a crossmember, and an electrical connector. The first and second upright members secured to the valve on opposing sides of the at least one actuator. The crossmember is secured to opposing ends of the first and second upright members relative to the valve such that the valve, first upright member, second upright member, and crossmember form a closed loop around the at least one actuator. The electrical connector is electrically connected to the at least one actuator and is secured to the crossmember.

An herb storage assembly for storing herbs within a refrigerator appliance is provided. The refrigerator appliance includes a chilled chamber and a dispensing assembly including a water supply port for selectively discharging a flow of water. The herb storage assembly includes a lower housing defining a water reservoir and a docking port mounted to the lower housing, the docking port being configured for engaging the water supply port to receive the flow of water into the water reservoir. An herb container is seated at least partially within the water reservoir and defines a storage volume for receiving and storing herbs.

A refrigerator including a main body having a storage compartment, a door rotatably provided on the main body to open and close the storage compartment, and an automatic water supply device. The automatic water supply device includes a water supply case, a bucket detachably mounted on the water supply case, and a water level sensor provided to detect a water level in the bucket, and is configured to supply water to the bucket depending on the water level in the bucket. The door includes a dyke protruding from a rear surface of the door to form an accommodation space in which the water supply case is accommodated, and the water supply case is coupled to the dyke.

A drinking water supply arrangement is provided for a RV, which uses fluid conduits separate from the other fresh water supply lines of the RV, separates the pump from the living RV compartment, provides independent pump controls, and stores conventional containers of drinking water in an exteriorly accessible, temperature controlled compartment, isolated from the living compartment.

Examples herein relate generally to reservoirs for use in water distribution systems within an appliance. The reservoir herein allows for the combination of various components prepared by separate manufacturing processes and for reducing waste of those manufacturing components. Specifically, the reservoir herein provides a daisy-chain structure for forming a ganged reservoir system.
