A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet with a liner spaced apart from a wrapper. A trim breaker is operably coupled with the liner and the wrapper. A trim adapter assembly is coupled with the trim breaker and includes an adapter member and a corner member. The trim breaker defines a forward receiving space and a protrusion of the trim adapter assembly is received by the forward receiving space. A heat loop assembly is operably coupled with the adapter member. The heat loop assembly includes a cover and a heat loop disposed between the cover and the trim breaker.

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 refrigeration appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, includes a storage chamber which can be cooled to below 0° C. A water supply feeding into the storage chamber is formed by a resiliently expandable pipeline, at least inside the storage chamber.

A refrigerator having a cool air circulation unit for directly supplying heat-exchanged cool air to a storage compartment is disclosed. The cool air circulation unit supplies and discharges the cool air, which has been heat-exchanged in an evaporator, to and from the storage compartment through a flow passage provided inside a partition.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet that includes a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment. The refrigerator includes a refrigerator compartment door that is located at a left or a right side of the refrigerator compartment, wherein an ice maker and a dispenser are located at the refrigerator compartment door. The refrigerator includes a main water tank that is located in the refrigerator compartment, and that is configured to cool water. The refrigerator includes a water purifying device that is located at the cabinet, and that is configured to purify water. The refrigerator includes a sub-water tank that is located on the refrigerator compartment door, and that is configured to additionally cool water cooled by the main water tank. The refrigerator includes a water supply path that is defined by connections between the water purifying device, the main water tank, the sub-water tank, the dispenser, and the ice maker.

This invention relates to a portable temperature-controlled container comprising a body defining a storage compartment and an opening to permit access to the storage compartment, with a lid selectively covering the opening in the body and a camera integrated into an external surface of the body. The container further has a control panel integrated into the external surface of the body, wherein the control panel locks and unlocks the lid. A speaker is integrated into the external surface of the body, wherein the speaker is configured to provide updates or communication from a person sending the portable temperature-controlled container to its destination and the control panel only unlocks the lid upon the entering of a specific sequence of inputs.

Provided is a refrigerator including an inner case, a storage compartment formed inside the inner case, an outer case provided outside the inner case, and a plurality of vacuum insulation modules provided between the inner case and the outer case to insulate the storage compartment, and each of the plurality of vacuum insulation modules includes a vacuum insulator, and a cartridge which accommodates the vacuum insulator and supports the inner case and the outer case. The cartridge has a mutual coupling portion coupled to the cartridge of an adjacent vacuum insulation module. Accordingly, the vacuum insulator can be easily manufactured without an additional support frame or a foaming process, and sufficient strength and coupling force can be secured by using only the vacuum insulator.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a freezing compartment below a refrigerating compartment, an ice making compartment at a side of the refrigerating compartment, an evaporator, a shroud that is disposed at a front side of the evaporator, a grille panel coupled to a front surface of the shroud, a first cool air guide channel defined between the grille panel and the shroud and configured to guide cool air to a freezing compartment, a second cool air guide channel defined between the grille panel and the shroud and configured guide cool air to the ice making compartment, a freezing fan module disposed between the grille panel and the shroud and configured to supply cool air to the first cool air guide channel, and an ice making fan module disposed between the grille panel and the shroud and configured to supply cool air to the second cool air guide channel.

An evaporation unit includes a first and second pipe conduits. The first and second pipe conduits each include a near-end part, a long circumference part, a junction part, a short circumference part, and a far-end part. Around a storage chamber, the first long circumference part extends in a first direction, the first junction part turns, and the first short circumference part extends in the first or second direction. The second short circumference part extends in the first direction, the second junction part turns, and the second long circumference part extends in the first or second direction. The first and second turning part located at the same position counted from the respective near-end part sides are disposed respectively on wall surfaces facing each other.
