A refrigerated merchandiser includes a case having a base and a canopy at least partially defining a product display area. One or more eutectic plates are positioned in the product display area. The eutectic plates include a fluid contained in a housing. A heat exchanger including a coil is positioned in the housing to cool the fluid. The coil has an inlet, an outlet spaced from the inlet, a first portion, and a second portion adjacent and in thermal communication with the first portion to define a tube-to-tube heat exchanger.

A refrigeration appliance includes a refrigerated goods container having an interior. Disposed on the refrigerated goods container outside the interior is a first tube evaporator which is wound round the refrigerated goods container, and a second tube evaporator is disposed on the refrigerated goods container in a top region thereof inside the interior.

A refrigerator includes a refrigerated compartment, at least one door that selectively seals the refrigerated compartment and a cold plate shelf assembly mounted in the refrigerated compartment. The shelf assembly includes a front trim, a rear trim and a first plate directly coupled to the front trim and the rear trim. A second plate extends from the front trim to the rear trim, the second plate being positioned so that a food item supported on the shelf assembly contacts the second plate. The second plate is made from a material having a higher thermal conductivity than glass. In one arrangement, the refrigerator further includes an air duct having an air vent. Air exiting the air duct through the air vent either impinges on and travels across the second plate or enters an interior of the shelf assembly.

A refrigerator and a basket assembly thereof are disclosed. The basket assembly includes a basket, a cover for covering the basket, a knob provided at the basket, and a protruding portion provided at the cover and fastened to the knob. The knob includes a first extension portion extending from the basket in an upwardly inclined direction to a higher position than a distal end of the protruding portion so as to support a rear surface of the protruding portion, a second extension portion extending from the first extension portion in a downwardly inclined direction, and a third extension portion extending downwards from the second extension portion. When force is applied to the third extension portion in a forward direction, the first extension portion is elastically deformed such that the distal end of the first extension portion is moved to a lower position than the distal end of the protruding portion.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator comprising a storage container that has a crisper wherein the fruits and/or the vegetables are stored and a body that supports the crisper and that facilitates the placement of the crisper into the refrigerator.

A refrigerator appliance may include a cabinet having a temperature-controlled compartment defined therein, a shelf ladder disposed in the temperature-controlled compartment and providing a plurality of shelf mounting positions, an electrical connector corresponding to each of the plurality of shelf mounting positions, wherein each of the electrical connectors comprises an actuator movable from a first position to a second position and an electrical contact configured to automatically move from a disengaged position to an engaged position in response to the actuator moving from the first position to the second position, and an adjustable shelf removably mountable in one of the plurality of shelf mounting positions such that the actuator of the corresponding electrical connector is held in the second position by a weight of the adjustable shelf and the electrical contact of the corresponding electrical connector engages the adjustable shelf.

A refrigeration appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, includes an ice maker that ejects finished ice cubes in a downward direction and a drawer disposed below the ice maker, which can be moved between a pushed in and a pulled out position. An ice storage container can be positioned in two non-overlapping positions in the drawer, only one of which is below an ejection region of the ice maker in the pushed in position.

A shelf includes a shelf panel and an illumination module. The shelf panel has an upper surface, a lower surface, and an edge extending between the upper and lower surfaces. The upper surface is capable of supporting articles thereon. The illumination module is coupled to the shelf panel and includes a first plurality of lights emitting visible light when powered, and a second plurality of lights emitting light having a germicidal effect when powered.

A system and method for freezing cold packs. The system includes at least one plate containing a low-temperature refrigerant and a mechanical refrigeration system. The system is configured to receive a cold pack on the at least one plate and freeze the cold pack by contacting one of its major faces.
