The present invention relates to a cooling arrangement, which comprises an insulation module (1) surrounding the insulated object (7) for its main part and formed by an internal layer (8), an external layer (3) and insulation material (9) located between them. The external layer of the insulation module is adapted to be surrounded by a protective enclosure (2) in a way that at least one air gap (4) is provided between the external layer and the protective enclosure. The insulation module has at least one exchange aperture (10) penetrating it at least in part with the first cooling element (12) adapted to it. The second cooling element (12) opposite to the first cooling element is, in turn, adapted to the external air gap (4) in a way that at least one thermoelectric generator (13) is arranged between them. The protective enclosure surrounding the insulation module is provided with a venting aperture (15) penetrating it, and a fan (5) utilizing the electric power produced by the thermoelectric generator (13) is adapted to it for increasing the efficiency of the airflow in the air gap.

A refrigerator door includes an outer plate that is made of metal and defines a front surface of the refrigerator door, a door liner that is coupled to the outer plate and defines a rear surface of the refrigerator door, an insulator disposed in a space defined between the outer plate and the door liner and made of polyurethane, and a foam cushion disposed at a rear surface of the outer plate and configured to expand or contract based on a change of a volume of the insulator.

A refrigeration appliance device, in particular a household refrigeration appliance device, which achieves a high level of efficiency, includes an inner compartment, which forms a storage space for articles and which is made up at least of a first inner-compartment part and at least of a second inner-compartment part, which is adjacent to the first inner-compartment part and is formed separately from the first inner-compartment part. At least one prefabricated, in particular at least substantially panel-shaped, thermal insulation element, is fastened on at least one side of the inner compartment directed away from the storage space. A refrigeration appliance and/or freezer having the refrigeration appliance device, a modular system for manufacturing the refrigeration appliance device, and a method for producing the refrigeration appliance device, are also provided.

A refrigerator includes a first inner case, a second inner case to be coupled to the first inner case, an outer case coupled to the first inner case and the second inner case, and an insulating material between the outer case, and the first inner case and the second inner case and the outer case. One of the first lower plate and the second upper plate includes an extension extending from the one of the first lower plate and the second upper plate, and a first coupler provided in the extension. An other one of the first lower plate and the second upper plate includes a second coupler to be coupled to the first coupler, and the first lower plate is coupled to the second upper plate by coupling the first coupler to the second coupler to prevent the insulating material from leaking between the first and second couplers.

A refrigerator includes a main body defining a storage space, a cryogenic freezing compartment having an insulation space that is independent with respect to the storage space, an evaporator disposed inside the storage space to cool the storage space, and a thermoelectric module assembly disposed at one side of the cryogenic freezing compartment so that the cryogenic freezing compartment is cooled to a temperature less than that of the storage space.
