Abstract:
A refrigeration device comprising a refrigeration circuit that contains an evaporator, a condenser and a compressor, in addition to electronic components for operating the refrigeration device. According to the invention, all the electronic components are combined in an electronic unit.
Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a heat-insulating housing and at least one heat-insulating door fastened thereto. The door and the housing each have an outer cladding, an inner cladding, and a heat insulation layer produced therebetween by foaming and into which is introduced vacuum insulation panels on the door and/or on the housing. Vacuum insulation panels are disposed on the inner claddings of the doors and housings.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a refrigerator having two movably connected housing parts that delimit a heat-insulated interior and a seal member that is fastened to a first of the housing parts and contacts the other of the housing parts in an airtight manner in the closed disposition of both housing parts. A lifting element lifts the seal member from a contact surface on the second housing part to permit pressure compensation between the inner chamber and the surroundings of the refrigerator. The lifting element is at least in part formed by a thermally deformable material and, in a first shape thereof, it establishes a sealed contact between the seal member and the contact surface, and in a second state resulting from the effect of heat or cold, it lifts the seal member from the contact surface in order to ensure pressure compensation.
Abstract:
A refrigeration appliance includes a thermally insulating housing and a thermally insulating door. At least one of the housing and the door define an evacuated interspace and have an evacuated thermal insulation filling the interspace, a shaped, thermoplastic, substantially gas and water vapor impermeable outer cladding, and a shaped, thermoplastic, substantially gas and water vapor impermeable inner cladding. The inner cladding and the outer cladding substantially surround the interspace in a vacuum-tight manner. The cladding can be formed from polyolefins, polyvinylidene chloride, perfluoroalkoxy polymers. For reducing gas permeability, the cladding can be formed from ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyacrylonitrile, and polyamide. The claddings can have co-extruded and/or laminated layers. The cladding can include a sputtered metal layer and/or a plastic/metal composite foil. The cladding can be formed from a thermoformed or blow-molded plastic. The insulation can have pressed silica or aerogel plates with a density of between 100 and 150 kg/m3.
Abstract:
A method for operating a refrigerator having two movably connected housing parts, a frame and a door which jointly delimit a heat-insulated interior, as well as a seal that is fastened to a first of the housing parts and contacts the other of the housing parts in an airtight manner in the closed position of both housing parts. The method includes a step in which the airtight contact between the seal and the second housing part is prevented for a specific period of time along a section of the seal while the sealing contact between the seal and the second housing part is subsequently restored along said section of the seal in a step. The invention also relates to a refrigerator for carrying out the method.
Abstract:
A refrigeration device comprising at least two storage compartments that are thermally insulated from one another and from the environment. In said device, an evaporator that can be cooled independently of an evaporator of the other storage compartment or compartments, is allocated to each storage compartment. Said device is equipped with elements for switching at least one of the compartments from a freezing mode to a non-freezing mode.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a housing for a refrigerator comprising a body (1) and a door (2), which is fixed to the body (1), both of which define an inner chamber (8). The body (1) and the door (2) comprise at least one evacuated insulation body (3, 4, 5, 6, 11) which is separated from the inner chamber (8) by an inner wall (7, 15) made of a plastic material.
Abstract:
An arm rest, in particular for a vehicle seat (2), is provided with a viewing screen (12) which can be swung up from a non-functional position into a functional position, the arm rest (1) having a rotatable first arm support (6) at whose free end the viewing screen is arranged pivotably. In this case, a second arm support (13) is provided, which arm support can be rotated in relation to the first arm support (6) and, in the non-functional position of the viewing screen (12), can be concealed by the first arm support.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger for a refrigerator contains a base plate, a conduit for a cooling agent, which is disposed such that the conduit is in heat-conducting contact with the base plate, and a layer of holding material. The layer of holding material adheres to the base plate and the conduit and is made of a bitumen composition. The heat exchanger is produced by stacking the base plate, the conduit, and a sheet made of the bitumen composition. The layer of holding material is formed from the sheet by heating and pressing the stack.
Abstract:
A housing of a multiway valve contains several inlets and outlets and a chamber containing several valve seats, each of which is allocated to one of the outlets. A closing device can be displaced between the valve seats. A cylinder contains a cylinder chamber having a fluid. A heating device is provided for heating the fluid and a plunger is provided that can be displaced in the cylinder by the pressure of the fluid. By its displacement, the plunger is able to dislodge the closing device from one of the valve seats.
