A drain pan utilizing an open front and a trench includes a bottom pan member, the trench, a drain hole, and a trench cover. The bottom pan member includes the open front. The trench is positioned below the bottom pan member adjacent the open front of the bottom pan member of the drain pan. The trench is configured to capture fluid flowing onto the bottom pan member of the drain pan and before the fluid flows out of the open front. The drain hole is in communication with the trench. The drain hole is configured to evacuate any fluid from the bottom pan member that flows into the trench. The trench cover is configured for providing a flat trench surface over the trench. The trench cover includes perforations to allow fluid to flow into the trench from the bottom pan member of the drain pan.

A refrigerator includes: an inner case defining a storage room; an outer case coupled to an outer side of the inner case; an insulator between the inner case and the outer case; an evaporator disposed on a rear inner surface of the inner case; and a drain device disposed below the evaporator and configured to drain defrost water falling from the evaporator, wherein the drain device may include: an upper insulator disposed on the rear inner surface of the inner case; a drain housing disposed below the upper insulator and through with the defrost water is drained; and a middle insulator disposed on a lower portion of the upper insulator, such that the drain housing is between the upper insulator and the middle insulator, the middle insulator including a fixing portion to which the drain housing is fixed.

A refrigerator includes a body including at least one storage compartment and a cooling module accommodating space, a door to open and close the storage compartment, and a cooling module accommodated in the cooling module accommodating space. The cooling module may include a heat radiating part, a heat absorption part, and a cooling module barrier to separate the heat radiating part and the heat absorption part. The heat radiating part may be disposed eccentrically on one of lateral sides of the cooling module and the heat absorption part may be disposed at a lateral side of the heat radiating part.

Provided is a vacuum adiabatic body. The vacuum adiabatic body includes a thin pipe passing through the main body to connect an inside of the accommodation space to an outside of the accommodation portion, a drain pipe provided inside the thin pipe to discharge the defrosting water, and an adiabatic material having an extension extending along the drain pipe to block heat transfer between the drain pipe and the thin pipe and a head provided at one side of both sides of the extension, which is close to the accommodation space.

A refrigerating appliance, or household refrigerating appliance, includes a refrigerated goods container and a machine compartment having a wall facing the goods container, an insulating material region between the goods container and the machine compartment wall, and a water outlet arrangement conducting condensate from the goods container through the insulating material region and machine compartment wall into an evaporation container in the machine compartment. The water outlet arrangement has a trough-shaped wall region of the goods container oriented towards the machine compartment wall and extending funnel-like to a drip edge. A tube facility extends from the wall region through the insulating material region and an opening in the machine compartment wall into the machine compartment. A positioning device mutually positions the wall region and tube facility, securing the drip edge radially in the tube facility and circumferentially spaced from an inner wall of the tube facility.

A drainage assembly for an insulated structure includes a flexible body that has a plurality of flexures and defines an opening and notches that extend radially from the opening. A first drainage tube extends through the opening and includes receiving flanges disposed within the notches defined by the flexible body. A second drainage tube is in fluid communication with the first drainage tube. The second drainage tube includes engagement flanges disposed within the receiving flanges of the first drainage tube.

A refrigeration unit includes a water tray. The water tray includes at least one side wall that extends from a floor of the water tray to an upper rim of the water tray to define a cavity. A guide feature is coupled to the upper rim of the water tray. The guide feature includes a connection feature that is aligned with the cavity of the water tray. A drain conduit is coupled to the connection feature of the guide feature. Water conveyed by the drain conduit is configured to be received within the water tray.

An insulated structure includes a wrapper that defines a first aperture. A liner defines a second aperture and is coupled to the wrapper. A negative pressure is maintained between the wrapper and the liner. A drainage assembly extends between the liner and the wrapper and is disposed within the first aperture and the second aperture. The drainage assembly includes a flexible body that has a plurality of flexures, first and second surfaces, and an opening that is defined between the first and second surfaces. The flexible body has at least one notch that is defined on the first surface that extends from a portion of the opening. A drainage tube extends through the opening that is defined by the flexible body and is operably coupled to the flexible body. The drainage tube includes at least one flange disposed within the at least one notch of the flexible body.

A refrigerated device includes a compartment including an access door. A refrigeration circuit for cooling the compartment includes an evaporator coil with an associated evaporator fan and a condenser with an associated condenser fan. A temperature sensor is provided for indicating a compartment temperature within the compartment. A controller is configured to: (i) monitor the compartment temperature in order to approximate a number of door openings, (ii) compare the approximated number of door openings to a data point and (iii) take a control action based upon a certain result of the comparison.

A refrigerated device includes a compartment including an access door, and a door sensor for identifying an open condition of the access door. A refrigeration circuit for cooling the compartment includes an evaporator coil with an associated evaporator fan and a condenser with an associated condenser fan. At least one heat source is selectively activatable to provide heat. A controller is configured to selectively activate the heat source based upon an approximated an amount of water that enters the compartment during door open conditions.
