An entrance refrigerator includes a condensation removal device supplying heat dissipation air generated from a cold air supply module to an outer gasket or an inner gasket to prevent condensation formation on surfaces of the outer gasket and the inner gasket or an outer circumferential surface of a cabinet.

A refrigerator includes a temperature-controlled drawer within a fresh food compartment. The drawer includes a temperature dampening member in thermal communication with a freezing air source and an interior or the drawer. The member is made of a thermally conductive material. In use, heat is conducted away from the interior of the drawer through the temperature dampening member in communication with the freezing air source. Thus, freezing of a foodstuff within the drawer is minimized or prevented, a temperature variance within the drawer is minimized, and humidity within the drawer is not adversely affected by dry freezing air source.

In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided that limit the change in temperature and/or control a temperature of a product during delivery. Some embodiments provide systems to limit temperature changes, comprising: an evaporative product cooling system comprising: a product cavity that supports a product while the product is transported to a delivery location, wherein the product cooling system comprises an interior wall defining the product cavity, an exterior wall, an evaporative cavity between the interior and exterior walls, a coolant dispensing system, at least one evaporative opening, and a temperature sensor; and a temperature control circuit configured to receive temperature data from the temperature sensor while the product is in transit, determine that a temperature of the product is greater than a transport temperature threshold, and autonomously activate the coolant dispensing system to release evaporative coolant into the evaporative cavity while the product is transported.

A refrigerator having a thermal store comprising a phase change material is disclosed. The refrigerator has a cooling chamber for containing an object to be cooled, and a vapor compression refrigeration system including a first evaporator for cooling the cooling chamber and a second evaporator for cooling the phase change material. A valve is provided to control the flow of refrigerant to the first and second evaporators depending on the cooling load on the refrigerator. When the refrigerator is subject to a relatively low cooling load, refrigerant flows to the second evaporator to cool the phase change material and, when the refrigerator is subject to a relatively high cooling load, refrigerant flows to the first evaporator such that increased cooling is provided to the cooling chamber by the first evaporator and the phase change material.

The present invention relates to a cooling device comprising a body; a thawing body that is disposed in the body, wherein the frozen foods are placed; a heater that heats the thawing compartment and a sensor that provides the measurement of the humidity of the ambient air of the thawing compartment.

The present disclosure provides a drinking liquid cooling system comprising: a first cooler configured to cool drinking liquid; a second cooler configured to allow the drinking liquid from the first cooler to have a pre-defined temperature; and a drinking liquid guider configured to guide the drinking liquid via the first cooler and, then, via the second cooler and, then, to allow the drinking liquid to be discharged.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to refrigerators and methods of controlling the refrigerators. The refrigerator comprises a compressor configured to operate at a first rotation speed and a controller configured to calculate a first average of levels of electric signals input to the compressor during a first reference period, and control the compressor to operate at a second rotation speed higher than the first rotation speed when the first average is greater than a first reference value.

A refrigerator appliance includes an icemaker that is selectively closeable by a door. An outer gasket is positioned about an edge of the door and a sealing gasket is positioned around a center portion of the door inside the outer gasket. A plurality of protrusions extend from a rim of the icemaker. A liner is aligned with and spaced apart from the rim. A first gasket and a second gasket are positioned between the box and the liner.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage space, a door configured to open and close the storage space, a gap adjusting member configured to be provided between the door and the cabinet and to adjust a gap between the door and the cabinet, and a seating part configured to protrude from the door and to support the gap adjusting member. The gap adjusting member includes a contact part exposed to the rear of the door and being in contact with the cabinet in a state where the door is closed, and a plurality of adjusting parts protruding from the contact part toward the seating part at different heights from each other. The gap between the door and the cabinet is adjusted by selecting a height of the adjusting part which is in contact with the seating part by rotating the gap adjusting member.

A refrigerator includes a cooling/heating chamber capable of cooling and heating foods. The cooling/heating chamber is divided into a heating zone that is a space where foods to be heated are placed, and a non-heating zone that is a space continuous with the heating zone where foods not to be heated are placed. The refrigerator further includes an oscillation electrode and a counter electrode that are arranged so as to face each other with the heating zone in between, and an oscillating unit that applies an AC voltage to between the oscillation electrode and the counter electrode.
