Provided is a refrigerator (10), including: a cabinet (100) in which a cooling chamber (200) located at a lower side and at least one storage compartment located above the cooling chamber (200) are defined, a bottom air inlet (110a) and a bottom air outlet (110b) being provided in a bottom of the cabinet (100) in a transverse direction at an interval; a compressor chamber (300) arranged behind the cooling chamber (200), in which a compressor (104), a heat dissipation fan (106) and a condenser (105) are sequentially arranged; and a divider (117) configured to completely isolate the bottom air inlet (110a) from the bottom air outlet (110b), such that external air entering the condenser (105) and heat dissipation air discharged from the compressor (104) are not crossed. In the refrigerator (10), the freezing chamber (132) is raised, a user has no need to bend down much to access to the freezing chamber (132), and the use experience is improved. In addition, by the divider (117), the bottom air inlet (110a) and the bottom air outlet (110b) are completely separated, so that the external air entering the condenser (105) and the heat dissipation air discharged from the compressor (104) are not crossed.

The invention relates to a domestic refrigeration device (1), comprising a housing (2), in which an inner container is arranged, which inner container bounds an interior (3, 4) for accommodating foods, and comprising a machine chamber (12) separated from the interior (3, 4), in which machine chamber at least components (6 to 11) of a refrigeration circuit of the domestic refrigeration device (1) are arranged, wherein a carrier shell (11) is arranged in the machine chamber (12), on which carrier shell at least one further part (6, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48) is retained in such a way that the at least one further part is connected by at least one snap connection (49) and/or at least one plug-in connection (50, 53) and/or a locking connection (59) without any additional fastening elements.

A method of defrosting an indoor coil in a refrigeration system in which, with a controller of the refrigeration system, a selected one of a number of predetermined defrost mode procedures is selected. Each predetermined defrost mode procedure is associated with a predetermined range of values of one or more predetermined parameters. Each predetermined defrost mode procedure includes adjustment of one or more components of the refrigeration system upon commencement of the defrost mode for optimum operation of the refrigeration system in the defrost mode, when the predetermined parameter is within the predetermined range of values upon commencement of operation in the defrost mode. With the controller, the component of the refrigeration system is adjusted in accordance with the selected one of the predetermined defrost mode procedures.

A compressor is to be used in an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes the compressor, an evaporator, and a container. The evaporator generates condensed water during operation. The container receives the condensed water generated by the evaporator. The compressor includes a main body and a textile member that is capable of transferring moisture and is quick drying. The main body is to be disposed in the container. The textile member covers at least a part of the main body, and is to be used for absorbing the condensed water.

An improved refrigeration cycle defrosting system and method is disclosed. The device uses operation of a compressor to supply heat for the defrosting process without relying on deviation of a hot refrigerant gas from the compressor outlet or any other heating device.
