Definitions

  • Refrigeration device such as no-frost fridge or freezer
  • the invention relates to a cooling device, such as a no-frost refrigerator or freezer or the like, with a heat-insulating housing, within which is arranged at least one usable space which can be closed by a door and which is cooled by cooling air which is forcibly circulated by means of a fan via an evaporator, which is conveyed by the fan into an air duct located at least near the rear wall of the useful space, within which the evaporator is arranged at least approximately upright.
  • a cooling device such as a no-frost refrigerator or freezer or the like
  • a heat-insulating housing within which is arranged at least one usable space which can be closed by a door and which is cooled by cooling air which is forcibly circulated by means of a fan via an evaporator, which is conveyed by the fan into an air duct located at least near the rear wall of the useful space, within which the evaporator is arranged at least approximately upright.
  • a no-frost cooling device in the cooling space of which an upright finned evaporator is provided on the rear wall. This is located behind an air duct that extends into the vicinity of the ceiling of the cooling space and is forced-ventilated by means of a fan that is likewise arranged within the air duct and is located in the vicinity of the cooling chamber ceiling and thus upstream of the evaporator in the direction of the forced cooling air.
  • the invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art in a cold device according to the preamble of claim 1 with simple design measures
  • the evaporator sits in the vicinity of the ceiling of the usable space and is arranged in the suction-side air flow of the fan, which is provided below the evaporator
  • the arrangement of the evaporator on the one hand and the assignment of the fan to it on the other hand ensures that the cooling chamber can penetrate, for example
  • the cooling device When the cooling device is opened or moisture that has been stored by storing moisture in it is deposited reliably on the evaporator which is subjected to a defrosting process from time to time, so that the functional humidity of the fan is always ensured.
  • the arrangement according to the invention in connection with the fan assignment enables one compared to the prior art Significantly shortened structure for the air duct, which minimizes the loss of usable cooling space volume caused by this.
  • the assignment of the fan to the evaporator downstream of the evaporator ensures that the latter is simultaneously and therefore at least almost due to the inherently broad intake air flow is completely swept by the circulated cow air, whereby the
  • Cooling of the cooling air can be achieved in a particularly energetically favorable way
  • a fan is particularly expedient if, according to a next advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the fan is designed as an axial fan
  • the heat exchange of the forcedly circulated cooling air on the finned evaporator is particularly intensive if, according to a next advantageous embodiment of the
  • the object of the invention is provided that the fan sits within the air duct, which has its outlet opening in the vicinity near the fan.
  • such an arrangement results in a particularly compact construction which is minimized in terms of its overall height.
  • the air duct is guided at least in the vicinity of the ceiling of the utility room into the vicinity of the door.
  • the “warm air” Due to the section of the air duct on the ceiling, or at least in the vicinity of the ceiling of the cooling room, which is upstream of the evaporator in the direction of the forced cooling air, the “warm air” is sucked out of the warmest area of the cooling room, thereby reducing the temperature stratification inside the cooling room the air duct, which is brought into the vicinity of the door, prevents the air inlet opening from being covered by refrigerated goods.
  • the air duct is particularly easy to manufacture and assemble if, according to a last preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the air duct comprises an air guide plate which is angled in the form of an angle profile and which is spaced apart from the ceiling and with which to form the air duct with one of its angle legs another angle leg is arranged spaced from the rear wall of the useful space.
  • the single figure shows a no-frost cooling device with a lamella evaporator arranged in its cooling space, covered by an air duct and forced-ventilated by a fan located inside the air duct, in a sectional representation from the side.
  • a no-frost cooling device 10 with a heat-insulating housing 11 is shown, for example, as a refrigerator or freezer.
  • a usable space 13 which is accessible via a door 12 in the closed state and is designed as a cooling space accessible, which is lined by an inner panel 14 belonging to the structure of the housing 11.
  • the inner lining 14 is formed in one piece without cutting from a plastic board and has two opposite side walls 15 (only one of which is shown), a floor 16, a ceiling 17 arranged opposite to it and a rear wall 18 opposite the door 12.
  • the evaporator 19 which is in the form of a cuboid, is fixed in the upright position with one of its large-area jacket sides on the rear wall 18. Immediately below the evaporator 19, in its close range there is a fan 20, which in the present case is designed as an axial fan
  • Rear wall 18 arranged so that the evaporator 19 is in the suction air flow of the fan 20.
  • Both the fan 20 and the evaporator 19 are arranged within an air duct 21 which extends essentially across the width of the cooling space 13 and is essentially angular in cross section.
  • This has a first air duct 22 running along the ceiling 17 with an air inlet opening 23 provided in the vicinity of the door 12 and a second air duct 24 running along the upper section of the rear wall 18.
  • the lamella evaporator 19 is provided within the air duct 24 and, below it, the fan 20 is provided, the fan wheel of which is arranged in the plane of an air outlet opening 25 located at the free end of the air duct 24. This opens approximately in the upper third of the rear wall 18.
  • the air duct 21 is produced by an air guide plate 26 angled in the manner of an angle profile with two angle legs 27 and 28, of which the angle leg 27 runs at a parallel distance from the ceiling 17, during the Angle leg 28 objected parallel to rear wall 18, in the upper third of which is provided.
  • the cooling air (represented by arrows) is specifically sucked out of the region near the door 17 which is warmer due to the principle, and conveyed to the cooling via the lamella evaporator 19 before it is cooled by the Fan 20 in the establishment of the air outlet opening
