- the invention is not limited to the cooling of beverages or the field of commercial cold. Nevertheless, to facilitate the understanding of the invention, it will be described in connection with a beverage packaging cabinet.
- This type of cabinet is located mainly in public places such as airports, hotels, shopping centers and is intended for the sale of drinks.
- the cabinet has a rigid box closed by a door, usually glass, allowing access to the products arranged in the cabinet.
- a refrigeration device, arranged in the cabinet makes it autonomous. Specifically, to ensure its operation, the cabinet needs only an external power supply.
- the refrigerator refrigeration device consists of a drawer located at the bottom of the cabinet.
- This arrangement has the advantage of allowing easy extraction of the refrigeration device for maintenance operations.
- Such an embodiment is for example described in the French patent application FR 2 855 871 filed in the name of the applicant.

- Rigid pipes for example made of copper pipes, are much cheaper to implement than flexible pipes.
- the assembly of the pipes can be done by soldering, that is to say without removable connection.
- the refrigerant circuit is filled with refrigerant and sealed before being placed in the insulation. It is thus possible to change the thermal insulation, for example in case of breakage of the latter during transport of the device, without opening the refrigerant circuit. Indeed, an opening of the circuit is always delicate and must be performed by qualified personnel.
- the subject of the invention is also a method for assembling a device according to the invention, characterized in that it consists in following the following operations:
- a device according to the invention also reduces its cost of implementation by reducing the number of mechanical parts forming it. The cost of purchasing the parts and the mounting time of the device are reduced. Compared to the known device consisting of many mechanical parts, a device according to the invention is lighter, which facilitates its handling.

- An outlet orifice 10 of the evaporation stage 7 allows the air to exit the evaporation stage 7 to circulate in the useful compartment 2.
- An inlet 1 1 1 of the evaporation stage 7 allows the air from the useful compartment 2 to enter the evaporation stage 7 to be cooled.
- the outlet orifice 10 is situated in the vicinity of the bottom of the useful compartment 2.
- the inlet orifice 1 1 is situated in the vicinity of the door 4.
- the bottom of the useful compartment 2 is defined as the furthest zone of the door 4.
- the flow of air in the useful compartment 2 is essentially from the bottom to the door 4.

- FIGS. 4 and 5 show, in perspective, the thermal insulator 33 intended to thermally isolate the evaporation and condensation stages 8.
- the thermal insulator 33 is in one piece and forms a structure carrying the evaporation stage 7.
- the thermal insulator 33 isolates the evaporation stage 7 in five directions of an orthogonal reference. More specifically, an Oxyz orthogonal coordinate system is defined in which the two directions x and y represent a horizontal plane of the cabinet 1 and the direction z is a vertical direction of the cabinet.
- the second flow of air through the condensing stage 8 is in the x direction.
- Each direction has a positive direction and a negative direction noted for example + x and -x for the direction x.
- the thermal insulator 33 isolates the evaporation stage 7 in the directions + x, -x, + y, -y and -z.
- the thermal insulation is open only in the + z direction allowing the air circulating in the cabinet 1 to flow through the orifices 10 and 1 1 of the evaporation stage 7.
- the thermal insulation 33 is substantially parallelepipedic. It has at its base, located in a plane parallel to the plane defined by the x and y directions, positioning zones 34 with respect to the frame 1 6.
- the frame 16 is for example made of a sheet whose largest surface forms the base of the refrigeration device and on which are fixed the elements of the condensation stage 8.
- the chassis comprises folds 35 for stiffening the frame 1 6 and on which the zones 34 come to bear.
- the thermal insulation 33 is formed of a piece of expanded polystyrene produced by molding.
- This embodiment makes it possible to use the insulation to fulfill many functions in addition to its main function which is the thermal insulation.
- the insulation directly guides the two air flows in the refrigeration device.
- the thermal insulation 33 has an inclined face 36 on which rests the first air flow after passing through the orifice 1 January.
- the second circulation of air (that which passes through the condensing stage 8) is guided by the top of the inclined section 36.
- the inclined section is supported in its lower part on a bottom 37 guiding the first air flow downstream of the inclined face 36.
- the first flow of air is also guided by vertical walls 38, 39 and 40 of the thermal insulation 33. These walls also form the vertical walls of the refrigeration device.
- the thermal insulation 33 advantageously comprises means for positioning the evaporator 20 and the fan 21.
- grooves 41, 42 and 43 are formed in the vertical walls and in the inclined section 36 for positioning the evaporator 20 and the fan 21.

- grooves are made in the thermal insulation 33.
- the surface of the polystyrene is ice-cold. It is a fusion of the surface that makes it waterproof.
- the glazing allows in particular the washing of the thermal insulation 33 during maintenance operations.
- the frosting also allows directing the condensates directly into the polystyrene without the need to add a pipe provided for this purpose.
- the thermal insulation 33 has handles 45 and 46 for handling the refrigeration device to facilitate its transport.
- the handles are for example formed by openings directly made in the vertical walls 38 and 40. It is also possible to chamfer the angles between the openings 45 and 46 and the walls. corresponding verticals, respectively 40 and 38. These chamfers facilitate the production by molding of the thermal insulation 33 and improve ergonomics in the grip by an operator.
- the thermal insulation 33 has a groove 50 allowing the positioning and the maintenance of a seal between the refrigeration device and the useful compartment 2 of the cabinet 1.
- the refrigeration device comprises means for enabling the test of the refrigeration circuit before the introduction of the thermal insulation 33. More specifically, a pipe 51 connecting the condensation and evaporation stages is deformable so as to be able to perform the test of the circuit without the thermal insulation 33.
- a gas detector often called a sniffer, is placed near the circuit in order to detect any leakage of refrigerant.
- the expanded polystyrene degasses slightly after molding which would disturb this test if the thermal insulation 33 was mounted before the test. Consequently, by implementing the invention, polystyrene can be used as an insulating material which makes it possible to reduce the cost of the insulator.
- the path of the refrigerant circuit is totally external to the thermal insulation 33. Otherwise the thermal insulation 33 has no closed opening through which a channel of the refrigerant circuit would pass. It is thus possible to seal the refrigerant circuit before putting it into place in the thermal insulation 33.
- FIG. 6 shows the various elements of the refrigerant circuit before mounting the thermal insulation 33 after sealing the circuit.
- the evaporator 20 is substantially oriented at 90 ° from its final position around the y axis. It is in this position that the circuit is tested.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 show the placement of the thermal insulation 33 from the tested circuit in the position it occupies in FIG. 6. The insulation is close to the circuit by the top of the tank 31 so that the evaporator 20 is positioned in its grooves 41 to 43.
- Figure 9 shows the final position of the insulator and the evaporator 20 in the refrigeration device.
- the exchanger 20 is placed in its final position by deforming the pipe 51.
- the deformation of the circuit consists of a torsion of a cross section of the circuit, the pipe 51, around a main axis of this cross section.
- This axis is the y axis shown in FIG.
- the flange 55 makes it possible to counteract the elasticity of the pipe 1 which tend to lift the thermal insulation of the frame 16.
- the flange 55 has a U-shaped whose ends are fixed to the frame 16 and whose bottom encloses the thermal insulation 33. There may be two flanges 55, one located under the door of the cabinet 1 and the other under the bottom of the cabinet.
