Abstract

A refrigerator comprising a body unit (1) having a refrigeration compartment (12), a refrigeration unit (3) removably connected to the body unit and having a refrigeration circuit in which a condenser, an evaporated and a motor-compressor are arranged. In the refrigeration unit (3) a fan is arranged for circulating air from the evaporator to the refrigeration compartment (12) and backwards. For conveying the air the body unit (1) is provided with ducts (18, 23).
In order to meet the user's requirements with respect to the extent of the refrigeration capacity the refrigerator can be extended with at least one further body unit (30) which is connectable to the first mentioned body unit (1) in a removable way, corresponding ends of the ducts (18-31, 23-32) being interconnectable. In this way a modular construction is obtained.
