In particular, the communication portion includes an upward-facing recessed surface, one or more side wall portions that extend above and at least partially bound the recessed surface, and a plurality of apertures that extend through the recessed surface and provide fluid communication between the upper space and lower space. The recessed surface and the one or more side wall portions collectively define a recess. Optionally, a wine rack is provided.

METHOD FOR OPERATING A DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION APPLIANCE, IN WHICH A MISTING RATE IS ADAPTED, AND DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION APPLIANCE

A domestic refrigeration appliance has a separate storage area in an internal space into which foodstuffs, forming storage items, can be introduced. A liquid fluid can be introduced in the storage area independently of the internal space. For keeping the storage items fresh in the storage area a first operating mode and a storage mode, different therefrom, can be carried out. In the storage mode an aerosol mist generated by a misting device of the domestic refrigeration appliance is introduced as a fluid, and a misting rate of the aerosol mist during the storage mode is matched to a setpoint misting rate in dependence on at least one misting device-specific influencing parameter and/or a fluid-specific influencing parameter and/or a storage area-specific influencing parameter. There is also described a domestic refrigeration appliance.

The storage space is composed of a top cover and a bottom box, a lower surface of the top cover is provided with a concave cavity, and the controlled atmosphere membrane component is disposed in the concave cavity.

DRAWER LID AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A DRAWER INTERIOR
20220369811 · 2022-11-24 ·

A method for monitoring a drawer interior of a vacuum drawer device when the lid is supported by the drawer airtight and closed, includes: periodic measurement of the relative humidity with a humidity sensor arranged in the path of a dehumidifying channel in the lid or, respectively, the drawer interior; comparison of the measured relative humidity with an upper threshold; and as soon as the measured relative humidity is above the upper threshold, opening the valve and inducting a ventilator arranged in a recess or in the path of a dehumidifying channel in the lid. Fresh air is sucked through an air inlet opening, circulated, and thereafter released again from the dehumidifying channel and the drawer interior communicating therewith, until the relative humidity reaches a lower threshold measured by the humidity sensor. Then the valve is closed, the ventilator is stopped, and the controller switches into the humidity monitoring mode.

REFRIGERATOR AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING A LID OF A DRAWER IN A REFRIGERATION COMPARTMENT

A refrigerator includes a drawer in a refrigeration compartment including a support on a wall of the compartment, and a work slot oblique to a lid. The lid opens or closes the drawer and includes a protruding portion on an upper surface and a motion member on a side edge of the lid moving in the work slot. A motor module includes a cam and a motor driving the cam in first rotation, to push the protruding portion to drive the motion member to move obliquely upward along the work slot, so the lid ascends to a first position, and driving the cam in second rotation opposite the first to cause the lid to drive the motion member under gravity obliquely downward along the work slot, so the lid descends to a second position lower than the first in automatically adjustment. A method for lid adjustment is also provided.

Modular humidity control and heat preservation system

A modular humidity control system is provided. An example system includes a body configured for attachment with a food storage housing. The body may define a closed circuit air flow path for circulating air through the food storage housing. The system also includes a desiccant element secured within the closed circuit air flow path that removes moisture from the moisture-laden air passing through the closed circuit air flow path, and stores the removed moisture. The system further includes a regeneration system that monitors a saturation of the desiccant element. In an instance in which the saturation of the desiccant element exceeds a saturation threshold, the regeneration system may evaporate at least a portion of the moisture stored by the desiccant element.

COOLING DEVICE AND COOLING METHOD
