  • the heated air flows from the front opening of the duct 17 into the compressor space 16 and upward along the condenser through the duct. Since nothing hinders the air it may also flow upward in other places. The heat is effectively removed by the airflow.
  • the problem of cooling systems is that they often produce noise emissions. These could for example be caused by boiling or flowing agent or resonance vibrations caused by the compressor motor. These emissions could be very disturbing for the user. Most noise emissions caused by vibrations etc. come directly from the compressor and most of the sound emissions caused by the flowing agent come from the heat exchanger.
  • the features of the present invention intends to solve this problem and also enable an effective air circulation in order to allow heat to be removed as effective as necessary.

  • a sound absorption plate 21 is mounted between the cover plate and the backside of the cabinet.
  • the sound absorption plate may for example be made in a polyester foam sound absorbing material.
  • the absorption plate may preferably also be deformable in order to work effective with the cabinet. Moreover, said absorption material should of course work effective when it comes to sound absorption and handle the heat created by the cooling system. Preferably, the absorption material should also be able to ventilate heat through its fiber structure without allowing sound emissions to pass.
  • the side of the cover plate 20 which faces the backside of the cabinet is shown.
  • the absorption plate 21 has a certain thickness which is not specified further. The demand of the plate 21 is to fit, deform and work in a good way together with the cabinet.
  • the cover plate has two horizontal walls 22 between which the absorption plate should fit. Moreover, the cover plate has two shoulders 23 formed in one piece with said plate. The plate is substantially flat as shown in the figures.
  • the shoulders stretch from the upper part of the plate downward along the left and right sides of the cover plate. Further, reinforcements 24 helps up the stiffness of the 2 millimeters thin cover plate 20.
  • the cover plate 20 in the illustrative embodiment is preferably around 1100 millimeters long and the sound absorption plate 21 is around 600 millimeters long.
  • the cover plate 20 together with the sound absorption plate will cover at least a part of the backside. Since the cover plate is provided with shoulders, the mounted plates will cause a very little increase in dimensions of the cabinet.
  • the furthest back part of the cover plate will be substantially positioned at a level backward which is substantially the same as the level of the furthest back part of said cabinet. In theory this means that the furthest back part of the cover plate is substantially positioned at a vertical surface which is substantially parallel with the backside and in vertical level with the furthest back part of said cabinet.
  • the duct formed between the condenser 13 and the back plate 11 will be unaffected by the plates 20 - 21.
  • the air will circulate via the duct 17, through the compressor space 16 and upward along the duct formed between the condenser 13 and the back plate 11.
  • the shoulders will hinder circulating air from leaking out at the hooking means 12. Since the air circulation works as necessary, the heat generated at the compressor, heat exchanger and the condenser will be removed effectively.
  • the plates will furthermore isolate from noise mainly emitted from the compressor and the heat exchanger to reach out to the open room surrounding the cabinet.
  • the sound transferred backwards will the blocked by the plates 20 - 21 and sound transported upwards though the duct formed at the condenser 13 will be absorbed by the sound absorption plate 21 extending upwards a bit along said duct. It is shown that the sound absorption effect is maximized with a cover plate of 1100 millimeters and an absorption plate of around 600 millimeters. Increasing the height of the cover plate will only give eye-looking benefits and increasing the height of the absorption plate will give negative results for the heat removal effect.
  • a sound absorption plate 25 is also placed inside the duct 17 extending between the compressor space 16 and an opening facing the front side of the cabinet. As shown in fig. 3 the plate substantially covers the whole bottom of said duct 17. This means that the plate has a width substantially corresponding to the breadth of the compressor space.
  • the plate is preferably made in the same material as the absorption plate 21.
  • the volume of the plate fills a substantial part of the duct, for example half of the volume of said duct.
  • the duct of the illustrative embodiment extends horizontally from the compressor space 16 along the bottom of the cabinet.
  • the duct 17 is enclosed by a cabinet outer shell 10 bottom plate, 2 vertical outer shell side plates and one upper plate defining the bottom of the lower compartment.
  • the noise emitted frontward through the duct 17 from the compressor and heat exchanger will be absorbed by the plate 25.
  • the plate 25 volume is maximized in order to achieve the best sound absorption effect without causing negative results for the air circulation and the heat removal effect.
  • the volume of the plate 25 may be half the volume of the duct 17.
  • the scope of the invention is to use material the remove noise emitted from a cooling system to the open room surrounding the refrigerator or freezer cabinet. And also to use a plate positioned on the rear side of the cabinet in order to achieve this without loosing heat convection effect. It should be understood by a person skilled in the art to replace the plates described with only one plate or another combination of plates to improve the sound absorption effect. Moreover, the dimensions of each plate in the illustrative embodiment should not be seen as limiting. Any dimensions choose depends on which cabinet the invention is applied to and which materials that are used. It is therefore obvious for a person skilled in the art to choose the proper dimensions in order to maximize the sound absorption effect without loosing too much of the heat removal properties. The dimension selection also encounters the sound absorptions plate placed in the horizontal duct at the compressor space.
  • a fan of a dynamic cooling system placed on the upper part of the rear side of the cabinet could be covered by a plate in the same manner.
  • the demands of air circulation and sound absorption for this plate is solved in the same manner and falls within the scope of the present invention. This particularly relates to the design and selection of material.
