The hot water module is configured to heat, by induction heating, water supplied to the hot water module and to supply the heated water to the extraction nozzle, and the hot water module case couples to a rear wall of the dispenser case.

A control method for a refrigerator and a refrigerator are provided. The refrigerator includes a compartment, an evaporator, and a heating module. The method includes: acquiring a current temperature of the compartment; and adjusting an operating power of the heating module according to the current temperature, so that the heating module heats the compartment to a target temperature according to the operating power, where different temperature ranges correspond to different operating powers.

A refrigerator includes a body having a storage space; a door coupled with the body and for opening/closing the storage space, and an ice particle maker equipped in the door, wherein the ice particle maker includes a water feed nozzle for injecting water supplied from a water supply source into an ice particle making area; a cold air flow path for supplying cold air to the ice particle making area; and a dispenser for discharging ice particles made from the ice particle maker.

A refrigerator has a thawing device. The thawing device includes a cylinder, having a thawing chamber with a forward opening; a device door; and a radio frequency generation module, upper and lower electrode plates electrically connected thereto generating radio frequency waves in the thawing chamber; and at least one temperature sensor is disposed on the inner wall of the thawing chamber and configured to sense the temperature of an object to be processed, thereby adjusting the power of the radio frequency generaton module to prevent the object to be processed from being excessively thawed.

A container with active temperature control is provided. The container has a body with a chamber that receives a liquid. A temperature control system housed in the portable body has one or more heating element in thermal communication with at least a portion of the chamber to heat the liquid. Control circuitry controls the operation of the one or more heating elements and one or more power storage elements to provide electrical energy to the one or more heating element and/or control circuitry. The control circuitry controls the one or more heating elements to add heat to the liquid in the receiving portion to maintain the temperature of the liquid at a predetermined temperature or increase the temperature of the liquid above said predetermined temperature. The container can have a cooling element (e.g., a phase change material) that can remove heat from the liquid poured into the chamber.

The refrigeration system is configured to adjust a temperature inside a vehicle compartment of the transport vehicle, the refrigeration system including an evaporator disposed in the vehicle compartment and the evaporator including evaporator coils (120) through which a refrigerant flows and a housing (110) for accommodating the evaporator coils; wherein the housing is further provided with a heating element (130); and the refrigeration system further includes a control module (140) configured to control the heating element. According to the refrigeration system for a transport vehicle, the control method thereof and the transport vehicle of the present disclosure, by disposing the heating element inside the housing of the evaporator, which is controlled to perform heating and stop heating according to actual situations, ice is prevented from being formed on the inner side of the housing, and condensation water is prevented from being formed on the outer side of the housing, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the preservation of goods.

A refrigeration appliance includes an ice maker is disposed within a freezer compartment. The ice maker includes a water fill assembly for conveying water from a source of pressurized water to an ice tray. The water fill assembly includes a water fill tube fluidly connected to the source of pressurized water. A removable fill and heater assembly includes a plate disposed above the ice tray of the ice maker. The plate has an opening positioned above the ice tray. A shroud extends from an upper surface of the plate and has an inlet end fluidly communicating with the water fill tube. An outlet end of the shroud directs water into the ice tray in a predetermined direction. A heating element is disposed on the upper surface of the plate for applying heat to the plate to maintain a portion of the plate at a temperature in excess of 0° C.

A portable water bottle has a bottle body, a lid assembly detachably connected to an upper end of the bottle body, a filter mounted in the lid assembly, a base detachably connected to a lower end of the bottle body, a temperature control module mounted in the base, and a power module mounted in the base. Liquid stored in the bottle body can be filtered by the filter when being poured out of the bottle body, so as to allow a user can drink the liquid directly and immediately. Moreover, the temperature control module is capable of heating or cooling down the liquid in the bottle body, so as to provide the user with the liquid having the temperature that is suitable for ambient it temperature or physical conditions of the user.

The present invention relates to a cooling device comprising a body; a thawing body that is disposed in the body, wherein the frozen foods are placed; a heater that heats the thawing compartment and a sensor that provides the measurement of the humidity of the ambient air of the thawing compartment.

An ice piece making assembly and a refrigeration appliance containing the ice piece making assembly is disclosed. The ice making assembly produces ice pieces by directional freezing and includes: an ice piece forming tray having a motor engaging end, a distal end, a first side, a second side and a bottom surface, a plurality of ice piece making compartments divided by divider walls, and a plurality of heat sinks engaged to the bottom surface of the ice making compartments and deliver defrost water to a drain or defrost water catch tray positioned at at least one of the distal end and the motor engaging end; and an ice piece forming tray canopy spaced a distance above the ice piece forming tray wherein the ice piece forming tray canopy comprises a heater and a temperature sensor.
