Abstract

A storage assembly (10) including a vacuum insulated cabinet (22), a refrigeration system (109), and a drawer (26). The vacuum insulated cabinet (22) is formed by a number of insulated panels (20, 36, 38, 64, and 66). The vacuum insulated cabinet (22) and the refrigeration system (109) collectively form a refrigerated compartment (24). The drawer (26) is configured to move between an open position (29), in which an interior portion of the drawer (26) is accessible, and a closed position (27), in which the drawer (26) is disposed in the refrigerated compartment (24) and the interior portion of the drawer (26) is inaccessible. The refrigeration system (109) includes a first heat exchanger including an evaporator (108) disposed between the drawer (26) and a rear portion (38) of the insulated cabinet (22), and a second heat exchanger (42,118) including a condenser (118) disposed in a machine compartment (30) adjacent to the refrigerated compartment (24).
