A refrigeration appliance includes a cabinet having a plurality of walls that define a chilled chamber, a door attached to the cabinet to selectively restrict access to the chilled chamber, a cooling system for providing cool air to the chilled chamber via a duct extending through a wall of the plurality of walls of the chilled chamber, and at least one air vent positioned at an end of the duct. Further, the air vent(s) is mounted to the wall. Moreover, the air vent(s) has a body defining an opening through which the cool air exits during operation of the refrigeration appliance. The body of the air vent(s) further defines an outer perimeter having at least one discontinuity that creates at least one airflow passage between the body and the wall to reduce moisture in the chilled chamber.

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a body, a storage compartment disposed inside the body, an evaporator configured to generate cold air and disposed behind the storage compartment, and a duct configured to supply the cold air generated by the evaporator to the storage compartment. The duct includes a first discharge hole through which air flowing in the duct is discharged, a plurality of second discharge holes through which air is discharged at a speed lower than a speed of the air discharged through the first discharge hole, and a damper configured to selectively regulate a flow of air to guide the air in the duct to the first discharge hole or the plurality of second discharge holes.

A refrigeration appliance includes a liner having a rear wall that is contoured to define a first vertical recess therein. A partition divides the compartment into an upper and a lower compartment and includes a first protrusion disposed in the first vertical recess in the liner. A first opening extends through the first protrusion and is aligned with the first vertical recess in the liner. A temperature control system is positioned in the upper compartment and includes a vertical partition. At least one lower opening extends through a front surface of the vertical partition and fluidly communicates with an upper end of the first vertical recess in the liner and the first opening extending through the partition. An evaporator fan is disposed in the lower compartment.

A refrigerator including a housing mounted at a rear surface of a door to define a storage space of food, a basket disposed inside the housing, a duct extending to the housing from one side of an evaporator to supply cold air generated by the evaporator into the storage space of the housing, and a fan assembly coupled to the duct to allow the cold air to be forcibly supplied.

A refrigeration apparatus for transport includes an electric component box that houses an inverter board and is arranged on a lateral side of an external heat exchanger. The electric component box has an opposing plate that faces an air entrance surface of the external heat exchanger. A heat sink is provided on the opposing plate of the electric component box. The heat sink is exposed to the outside of the electric component box to cool a power module on the inverter board.

A refrigerator and method utilize a pair of tandem evaporators to provide cooling for both a compartment and an ice making system of a refrigerator. An upstream evaporator in the pair of tandem evaporators provides cooling for a compartment such as a freezer, fresh food, flexible cooling, or quick cooling compartment, while a downstream evaporator is in fluid communication with the upstream evaporator to receive a portion of the air cooled by the upstream evaporator and further cool the received portion for use in cooling one or more components of the ice making system.

A refrigerator including a cabinet in which an electronic device is disposed, a cooling module provided with a cooling air supply system and detachably mounted on an outer side of the cabinet, a cabinet connection device electrically connected to the electronic device and including a cabinet fixing member fixed to the cabinet and a cabinet connector bufferably mounted to the cabinet fixing member, and a module connection device electrically connected to the cooling air supply system and including a module fixing member fixed to the cooling module and a module connector bufferably mounted to the module fixing member.

The invention relates to a refrigeration appliance (1) comprising an outer cabinet (2) and an inner liner (22), internal to the outer cabinet (2), defining at least one compartment (10) for receiving food items. A refrigeration system (30) comprises an evaporator (38) arranged inside the compartment (10) to cool down air. A fan assembly (50) is arranged inside the compartment (10) and associated to the evaporator (38) for generating a cooling air stream for the compartment (10). The fan assembly (50) comprises, arranged side by side: a first layer (70) of expanded polystyrene; a fan (72) comprising a rotor (82) with a rotation axis (X) inclined with respect to a vertical direction (V) and a cover plate (76). The fan assembly (50) comprises a fastening device (90) apt to fasten the cover plate (76) to the first layer (70) to keep the fan assembly (50) in the assembled configuration.

A refrigerator including a housing mounted at a rear surface of a door to define a storage space of food, a basket disposed inside the housing, a duct extending to the housing from one side of an evaporator to supply cold air generated by the evaporator into the storage space of the housing, and a fan assembly coupled to the duct to allow the cold air to be forcibly supplied.

A refrigerator includes a refrigerator cabinet, a fresh food compartment disposed within the cabinet, a freezer compartment disposed within the cabinet, an ice compartment disposed within the cabinet, and an electronic control system associated with the refrigerator and adapted to monitor and control the fresh food compartment, the freezer compartment and the ice compartment. The control system provides for energy efficient control and operation through various means, including by monitoring state of an ice maker associated with the ice compartment and controlling temperature within compartments of the refrigerator based on the ice maker state. A damper controls air flow between the fresh food and freezer compartments. The control system can direct heat to the damper if the damper becomes frozen.
