A tool configured to assemble a drain to a household appliance wall, the drain formed by an interior tube and an exterior tube, the tool including a jaw, a housing, a spring and a guide member. The jaw is formed by a pair of arms and configured to move between a closed position, in which the jaw is configured to be inserted through an aperture formed by the household appliance wall, and an open position in which the jaw is configured to engage the interior tube. The housing houses the jaw and the spring is fixed to the housing and configured to bias the jaw towards the closed position. And the pair of arms are configured to move from the closed position to the open position as the jaw is inserted through the aperture.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, machine, device, and/or manufacture that is configured for operably releasing condensate from a condensate producing system to a drain without allowing a substantial quantity of air to enter the condensate producing system from the drain or a substantial quantity of air to exit the condensate producing system to the drain.

An information pushing method and system for a display screen of a refrigerator, and a refrigerator having the same are provided. The method includes: collecting ingredient information of the refrigerator; uploading the ingredient information to a server; analyzing by the server the ingredient information uploaded this time and historically uploaded ingredient information so as to acquire ingredient pushing information; transmitting the ingredient pushing information to the refrigerator and pushing the ingredient pushing information through the display screen of the refrigerator. In the method, the ingredient information of the refrigerator is collected and uploaded to the server, the ingredient information uploaded this time and historically uploaded ingredient information are analyzed so as to acquire the ingredient pushing information, such that the pushing information directed to the customer's needs can be provided and pushed through the display screen of the refrigerator with high pertinence and high user satisfaction.

A refrigeration appliance, particularly a domestic refrigeration appliance, has an inner chamber surrounded by a thermal barrier coating, an evaporator which cools the inner chamber, and a condensate drain which leads into the open from the evaporator through the thermal barrier coating. The condensate drain includes a siphon, which is arranged on the inner side of the thermal barrier coating and which is heatable by a defrost heater.

A jumper drain for a refrigerator appliance, the jumper drain including a housing with a cavity defined therein and that is in fluid communication with a storage compartment of the refrigerator appliance. An inlet and an outlet extend from the housing and are both in fluid communication with the cavity. The outlet is disposed at a location that is offset from the inlet. A pressure equalizer opening is formed in the housing. The pressure equalizer opening is configured to provide fluid communication between the cavity and an ambient environment external to the refrigerator appliance in order to equalize a pressure differential within the refrigerator appliance.

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 condensation collection system including a housing, a heat-exchanging coil located in the housing, a drain pan located in the housing and underneath the heat-exchanging coil, a water-sensitive element located in the housing and underneath both the heat-exchanging coil and the drain pan. The drain pan is configured to collect condensation from an interior of the housing. The drain pan includes a bottom, three or more exterior walls that generally conform to an interior perimeter of the housing, a primary drain located on a first exterior wall selected from the three or more exterior walls, and a controlled overflow drain located on a second exterior wall selected from the three or more exterior walls. The primary drain is configured to drain collected condensation from the drain pan. The controlled overflow drain is configured to drain the collected condensation from the drain pan.

A defrost heat discharge system includes a drain duct configured to discharge heat from a defrost heater and to discharge condensed water that results from melting of frost on an evaporator by heat generated by the defrost heater, a drain pipe that connects a first space to a second space, that is configured to allow condensed water to flow from the first space to the second space, and that is configured to discharge heat generated by the defrost heater from the first space to the second space, a drain cap located at an end of the drain pipe and configured to open and close at least a portion of the drain pipe; and a condensing fan configured to receive heat from the defrost heater and discharge heat toward an outside of the second space based on the drain cap opening the portion of the drain pipe.

A refrigerator includes: a compressor; an evaporator; a main condenser; a dew-prevention pipe; a bypass provided in parallel with a first channel from the main condenser to the dew-prevention pipe, and connected with the evaporator; a switching section provided on a downstream side of the main condenser, in which the switching section opens and closes the first channel, and a second channel from the main condenser to the bypass; and a control section. When defrosting the evaporator, the control section operates in such a manner that a refrigerant staying in the evaporator, the dew-prevention pipe, and the bypass is collected in the main condenser by closing the first channel and the second channel during an operation of the compressor, and thereafter, a high-pressure refrigerant collected in the main condenser is supplied to the evaporator through the bypass by stopping the compressor and opening the second channel.

A condensate drainage enhancing device is provided for an evaporator. An integrally molded plastic part snap fits around the conventional lower manifold, with rails maintained in tight engagement with the front and rear edges of the refrigerant flow tubes. These interrupt the meniscus films of columns of retained water that would otherwise form and, which instead drains down ribs that depend from the rails.
