DRAINAGE ASSEMBLY
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.
AIR-COOLED REFRIGERATOR
An air-cooled refrigerator includes an air duct assembly and an air door shielding device. The air duct assembly is provided with an accommodating cavity with a rearward air inlet. A plurality of air supply communicating holes are formed in a peripheral wall of the accommodating cavity. The air door shielding device is provided with a shielding part. The shielding part is provided with a plurality of air baffles. The shielding part is rotatably disposed in the accommodating cavity, so as to have shielding positions for the plurality of air baffles to completely shield all the air supply communicating holes. A bottom of a sidewall of the accommodating cavity is provided with a water guide groove inclined rearward and downward. The air duct assembly is provided with a water outlet hole communicating a rear side of the air duct assembly with a rear end of the water guide groove.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes: a cabinet including an inner case provided with a storage compartment, a case supporter coupled to a lower side of the inner case to support the inner case, and a base coupled to a lower side of the case supporter; a door disposed on a front portion of the cabinet to open and close the storage compartment; and a cooling device disposed on a rear surface of the inner case to have at least a portion thereof exposed to the storage compartment, wherein a water collection hole is formed on a rear end of a bottom surface of the inner case, wherein a water collection guide is mounted on the inner case to guide water flowing into the water collection hole to flow downward, wherein a water collection portion is formed on the base to collect water passing through the water collection guide.
MANAGING CONDENSATION WITH FLUID CONTROL FILM APPARATUS
A condensation management apparatus comprises a microstructured film arranged to condense water vapor on an underside of a substantially horizontal surface. The film comprises channels disposed at least on a first major surface and configured to support capillary movement of condensate. The channels have a channel axis substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the film. A capillary siphon structure of the film comprises a fold in the film, a condensate collection region proximate the fold, and a siphon region between the fold and a condensate release location of the film. At least a portion of a second major surface is attached to the underside of the substantially horizontal surface such that longitudinal openings of the channels of the condensate collection region are oriented towards a direction of gravity and the condensate release location is positioned lower along the direction of gravity than the condensate collection region.
Air channel assembly and refrigerator having same
An air channel assembly (100) and a refrigerator (200) having the same are provided. The air channel assembly (100) includes: a casing (10) provided with an air supply channel (11) and a drainage port (14) therein. The air supply channel (11) has an air inlet (12) and a bottom air supply port (13). An air-supply guide portion (15) configured to lead air to the bottom air supply port (13) and a drainage guide portion (16) configured to lead water to the drainage port (14) are provided adjacent to the bottom air supply port (13). A guide direction of the air-supply guide portion (15) is opposite to a guide direction of the drainage guide portion (16).
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes an evaporator inclined in a left-right direction and a defrosting water tray provided below the evaporator to collect defrosting water, and having inclined surfaces corresponding to a shape of the evaporator.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes evaporator cases arranged in a freezing chamber and located on a bottom surface of a partition wall, an evaporator installed inside the evaporator cases, and grill covers arranged on a rear side of the evaporator cases and having a blowing fan installed therein. The refrigerator includes a refrigerating chamber discharge passage which extends from the grill covers to a refrigerating chamber and through which at least a portion of cold air passing through the blowing fan flows, and a freezing chamber discharge passage which extends from the grill covers to the freezing chamber and through which the remaining cold air among the cold air passing through the blowing fan passes.

IMPINGEMENT FREEZER WET COOL DOWN
A method for removing moisture from an atmosphere within a freezer using a cryogen for freezing operations includes providing a freezing temperature with the cryogen at the atmosphere, reducing a temperature of the atmosphere with the cryogen for removing moisture in the form of droplets from the atmosphere, collecting the droplets on internal surfaces of the freezer, permitting the droplets to dwell for an amount of time in the atmosphere sufficient to freeze the droplets to become frozen droplets, and removing the frozen droplets from the freezer.
