摘要:
A wine cooler is provided which may also function as a humidor. The wine cooler is embodied in a cabinet preferably made from wood. The cabinet includes a base and a lid. The wine cooler further includes a bottle tray positioned within an upper area of the base. The bottle tray includes a plurality of semicircular recesses formed in the tray, each of which are adapted to receive a wine bottle. A plurality of circulation slots are disposed through the bottle tray for assisting with air circulation within the wine cooler. The wine cooler further includes a thermoelectric cooling system comprising at least one thermoelectric couple, each thermoelectric couple having a cold and hot junction, wherein the cold junction is attached to the lower surface of the bottle tray and a first heat sink is attached to the hot junction, and wherein the at least one thermoelectric couple is adapted to be powered by a 12VDC source.

A refrigerator which has a device for opening/closing cool air discharge ports is disclosed. The device includes plates for opening/closing the ports, and a driving device for driving the plates. The heat exchange between an evaporator and the outside warm air is prevented during the defrosting operation when a door is open. Hence the cooling efficiency is enhanced and the frost caused by the outside warm air is not generated on the evaporater.

A wine storage cabinet maintains wine bottles in two separate compartments at different temperatures and humidities. Temperature controls for each compartment are installed on the exterior of the cabinet. An interchangeable rack system allows some bottles in a vertical position in one compartment, while other bottles are maintained in a horizontal position in the other compartment.
摘要:
A portable, self-contained, temperature-controlled enclosure capable of maintaining a constant, user-specified temperature within the enclosure independent of the outside environment. The device is ideal for the transport of material that is highly temperature sensitive and requires a stable temperature environment. The portable enclosure includes capability of cellular and GPS location beacon identification, comprehensive internal status and operation monitoring, and wireless communication capability of the device status, temperature and humidity parameters, and location using BLUE TOOTH, WIFI and/or cellular technology. The system is powered by an onboard rechargeable battery, external DC power, or external AC power.

A control system for maintaining the temperature and humidity for a wine storage area within a predetermined range and at low operating cost includes a conduit field buried in a sand layer at a depth where the temperature normally ranges from 55 to 57 degrees F. An air intake is preferably disposed on a north side of a new or existing structure and draws outside ambient air into the conduit field when an exhaust fan is on and a partial vacuum is created in the wine storage area. The temperature and humidity of the ambient air are altered, as desired, during its passage through the conduit field until it is discharged in the wine storage area as a conditioned air. A pair of thermostats each individually control operation of the exhaust fan so as to maintain temperature below a first maximum setting and above a second minimum setting.

Disclosed is a refrigerator having a device for opening/closing cool air discharge ports through which cool air is supplied into a cooling compartment. In a cool air duct are installed shutter members for opening/closing the ports. The shutter members are installed a positions opening the ports, and are driven by a cam rotated by a motor. The ports and the shutter members are disposed symmetrically around the cam. As the cam rotates, the shutter members close the ports in turn. When a specific area becomes a desired temperature, a port corresponding to the specific area is closed by the shutter members. Thus, the area in the compartment to which cool air is supplied can be regulated, and the overcooling of the compartment can be prevented.

A self-contained climate control system for simultaneous temperature and humidity control in a wine cellar includes a refrigeration system having a conventional vapor-compression system including a condensate drip tray with over-flow passages. A programmable controller with a temperature sensor turns the compressor on and off by responding to the temperature sensor to regulate the air temperature in the wine cellar. The programmable controller keeps the system fans running after the compressor stops to cause evaporation of the water in the drip tray, restoring the moisture to the wine cellar.
