Beverage cooler
Beverage coolers for storing and cooling bottled beverages. A beverage cooler may include a cooling chamber cooled by a refrigeration system, and openings in the cooling chamber for receiving bottled beverages to be chilled. The openings may have doors and/or seals to minimize heat exchange between the cooling chamber and the environment with or without bottles disposed in the openings. Each of the openings may have a visual indicator, such as a plurality of LEDs, configured to indicate the temperature of the bottle disposed in the opening.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes a cabinet, in which a cooling chamber and at least one storage space are defined, the cooling chamber being arranged at the bottom of the cabinet and directly below the storage space; a door body, which is arranged on a front surface of the cabinet so as to operably open and close the storage space; an evaporator, which is wholly horizontally placed in the cooling chamber in the shape of a flat cube, and is configured to provide cooling capacity to the storage space; and a liquid storage bag, which is arranged in the cooling chamber and connected to the evaporator. An included angle between a center line of the liquid storage bag and a horizontal line is 1° to 89°. A foam layer and a housing of the refrigerator may block the sound transmission of flow of a liquid refrigerant, to achieve a good sound insulation effect.
TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION SYSTEM WITH COUNTER-ROTATING FAN ASSEMBLY
An illustrative example embodiment of a transport refrigeration system includes an evaporator air management system having an evaporator heat exchanger and an air passage downstream of the evaporator heat exchanger. A two-stage fan assembly within the air passage includes a first fan stage having a first fan rotor, a first motor associated with the first fan rotor for selectively causing the first fan rotor to rotate in a first direction about a fan axis, a second fan stage having a second fan rotor in series with the first fan rotor, and a second motor associated with the second fan rotor for selectively causing the second fan to rotate in a second, opposite direction about the fan axis. The first and second fan stages draw air across the evaporator heat exchanger and through the air passage.
Artificial intelligent refrigerator
An artificial intelligent refrigerator is disclosed. The artificial intelligent refrigerator includes: one or more first temperature sensor that senses refrigerating compartment-internal temperature in a refrigerating compartment of the refrigerator; one or more second temperature sensor that senses freezing compartment-internal temperature in a freezing compartment of the refrigerator; and a refrigerator processor that calculates a load accumulation amount for food put in the refrigerator on the basis of the refrigerating compartment-internal temperature or the freezing compartment-internal temperature, and performs a load correspondence operation using the calculated load accumulation amount. According to the artificial intelligent refrigerator of the present disclosure, one or more of a user terminal, and a server of the present disclosure may be associated with an artificial intelligence module, a drone ((Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV), a robot, an AR (Augmented Reality) device, a VR (Virtual Reality) device, a device associated with 5G services, etc.
Transport refrigeration unit
A transportation refrigeration unit (24) to provide a flow of supply air to a selected space includes a compressor to compress a flow of refrigerant and an engine (36) powered by a flow of fuel and operably connected to the compressor to drive the compressor. An evaporator circulates the flow of refrigerant therethrough to cool the supply air and includes a substantially unitary evaporator housing (50) having a supply air inlet opening (52) and a supply air outlet opening (56). An evaporator coil (32) is located in the evaporator housing, the flow of refrigerant circulating across the evaporator coil. An evaporator fan (34) is located in the evaporator housing to urge the supply airflow into the evaporator housing via the supply air inlet opening (52), across the evaporator coil (32) and out of the evaporator housing through the supply air outlet opening (56). The evaporator fan (34) can be located upstream or downstream of the evaporator coil (32).
Under counter type refrigerator
A under counter refrigerator includes a main body defining at least one of a first and second storage compartments, an evaporator to generate cool air to be supplied to the at least one of the first and second storage compartments, and a machine room provided at a lower portion of the main body to define an installation space in which a compressor and a condenser are provided. The machine room includes a suction portion provided in front of the main body to suction outside air into the machine room, a discharge portion provided in front of the main body to discharge the suctioned air in the machine room, a guide wall to separate the installation space into a first space in which the condenser is installed, and a second space in which the compressor is installed. A condensation fan is installed at the guide wall, the condenser is provided in a front portion of the first space, a defrosting water tray is provided at a rear of the condenser, and the condensation fan is disposed on one side of the defrost water tray.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator is proposed. In the refrigerator, a cool air passage for a freezing compartment which guides the flow of cool air to the freezing compartment, and a cool air passage for an ice-making compartment which guides the flow of cool air to the ice-making compartment partially share the cool air with each other. Through the sharing of cool air, the amount of cool air supplied to the freezing compartment is increased and sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment. Accordingly, sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment, the freezing compartment, and the ice-making compartment even with a single evaporator.
Cooling assembly for refrigerator appliance
A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet that defines first and second compartments. A fan assembly is configured to direct cooled air from a cooling assembly into the first and second compartments. The fan assembly includes a housing that defines an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. The first outlet is in communication with the first compartment, and the second outlet is in communication with the second compartment. A fan is positioned within the housing and is configured to direct the cooled air from the inlet toward the first and second outlets. A damper assembly is configured to selectively obstruct one of the first outlet and the second outlet.
SELF-CONTAINED REACH-IN REFRIGERATOR
A self-contained reach-in refrigerator has self-contained refrigeration system connected to a cabinet. A drain pan is below an evaporator of the refrigeration system. A thermally conductive bridge member provides thermal conduction between a defrost heater and the drain pan. An upper wall defining a top end of a product space in the cabinet can include a drain pan section below the evaporator, a fan section extending forward from the drain pan section, and a rear lip extending upward from a rear end of the drain pan section. The evaporator fan can be supported over the fan section to draw air from the product space through the fan section. A support member can be fastened to the rear lip to support the upper wall.
HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATOR WITH AN ICEMAKER UNIT AND A COOLING DEVICE HAVING A PRESSURE CHAMBER FOR COOLING THE ICEMAKER UNIT
A household refrigerator has a housing formed with a receiving space. An icemaker unit for dispensing ice is arranged in the receiving space. The icemaker unit has a tray in which shaping regions are formed for specifying a shape of shaped ice elements that are produced from liquid poured into the tray. The icemaker unit has a cooling device with which a cooling air flow is produced for cooling the tray. The cooling device has an evaporator and a fan. A fan wheel of the fan blows the cold produced by the evaporator in a cooling air flow. The fan wheel is arranged in a separate pressure chamber.
