For the purpose of increasing flexibility a home appliance device, in particular a home chiller appliance device, is proposed. The novel device includes at least one functional housing, which is arranged at least largely within an insulation-receiving chamber and defines at least one receiving space for receiving at least one functional unit, the functional housing being implemented self-supporting by having a reinforcement feature for at least substantially maintaining a shape of the functional housing during a foaming process of the insulation-receiving chamber.

For the purpose of improving a usability, a home appliance door, in particular a home chiller appliance door, is proposed: The home appliance door has an inner wall section; an outer wall section; a valve connecting the inner wall section and the outer wall section; and a cover element which is separate from and fixed to the valve and at least partly covers the inner wall section.

A refrigerated display cabinet (10) includes a refrigeration loop including a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element and an evaporator which are connected; a main body (12) including a storage space (14), wherein the evaporator (16) is located within the main body and is for supplying cooling to the storage space (14); and a container (18) located outside of the storage space (12) and containing at least one of the compressor, condenser and throttling element, wherein the container (18) comprises a vent (20) configured to discharge any build-up of gases within the container (18) outwardly.

A pressure relief facility for a refrigeration appliance with a body defining a chamber and having a peripheral rim, the appliance having a door with a peripheral gasket operable between an open position in which the gasket is away from the rim and a closed position in which the gasket sealably contacts the rim. The relief facility includes a planar body having opposed major faces and having opposed first and second peripheral edges. The body has a number of passages adjacent to each other, each passage having a first opening at the first peripheral edge, and a second opening at the second peripheral edge. An adhesive element is attached on one of the major faces adapted to secure the body to the rim of the appliance body in registration with to the gasket with the first openings in communication with the chamber, and the second openings in communication with ambient air. The planar body may be an elongated rectangular piece of corrugated plastic, with the passages running transverse to the length.

A refrigerator includes a storage chamber; an evaporator; an evaporator receiving portion and a defrost water tray slantingly arranged at a lower side of the evaporator receiving portion; a machinery chamber having an evaporation tray; an upper hose communicated with the defrost water tray; a lower hose connected to the upper hose while extending to the evaporation tray, the lower hose being provided, at one side thereof, with an air inlet hole to introduce outside air. The air inlet hole is formed at a slanted mounting surface protruding inside of a vertically-extending portion of the lower hose while being slanted downward. An opening and closing unit is provided in the vertically-extending portion of the lower hose that is configured to open the air inlet hole by an internal pressure of the storage chamber during opening of the door, and to close the air inlet hole by gravity.

A refrigerated storage or display device includes a pressure relief valve in an insulated wall of an evaporator enclosure and a frosting chamber between the pressure relief valve and the evaporator assembly. The pressure relief valve is heated so that no frost forms on the valve. The frosting chamber can be defined by a baffle that directs air entering through the pressure relief valve to flow along the evaporator. When outside air enters through the valve, moisture forms as frost on the frosting chamber walls and the evaporator. A defrost heater and condensate removal system can remove the frost during periodic defrost cycles. The pressure relief system can be deployed on individual refrigeration system modules of a modular merchandiser kit so that the required amount of pressure relief capacity is automatically provided during field installation.

A combination light and pressure relief vent (10) is disclosed which includes a housing (11), a valve assembly (12), and a light assembly (13). The housing include a valve body (16), port tube (17), and an outside louver (18). The valve body has a low pressure intake port (25), a high pressure intake port (26), and a low pressure exhaust port (27). The valve assembly includes a low pressure intake valve (40), a high pressure intake valve (42), and a low pressure exhaust valve (44). The light assembly includes a heat sink casing (51) which partially defines a heat chamber (52). The casing has a front wall (55) to which is mounted an LED module (57). A lens cover (61) is coupled to the front surface of the casing. Heat generated by the LED module is transferred through the casing to the heat chamber to warm the valve assembly.

A refrigeration appliance includes a freezer compartment fluidly coupled to an ice maker compartment via an ice maker return duct. An internal sensor is positioned within the freezer compartment and configured to sense a first condition within the freezer compartment. An external sensor is coupled to said refrigeration appliance and configured to sense a second condition external to said refrigeration appliance. A return fan is positioned within the ice maker return duct. A controller is operably coupled to the internal and external sensors to receive sensed first and second conditions. The controller is configured to determine a differential between the sensed first condition within the freezer compartment and the sensed second condition external to said refrigeration appliance. The controller activates the return fan to blow air from the ice maker compartment into the freezer compartment in response to the differential.

In a transport container for transporting temperature-sensitive transport goods, comprising a chamber for receiving the transport goods and a casing which surrounds the chamber and is equipped with a door device, the door device comprises at least one door leaf for closing a door opening of the casing, wherein at least one inner circumferential seal is provided between the at least one door leaf and the door opening and at least one outer circumferential seal is provided between the at least one door leaf and the door opening. The inner and outer seals each comprise at least one sealing element that can be displaced by a pressure difference and that, when a predetermined pressure difference is exceeded, opens an air passage from the outside to the inside or vice versa, wherein a buffer space delimited by the inner and outer seals is arranged and that a temperature control element is provided to cool the buffer space.
