Definitions

  • the embedding of the tank in the insulating material requires that the supply and discharge lines of the tank extend through the insulating material filling. Where the inlets and outlets cross the inner or outer wall of the skin, they must be carefully sealed to prevent moist air from entering the insulation material filling and allowing its moisture to condense in the filling. If the insulative material fill is typically a resin injected into the gap and expanded into a foam, careful sealing is also required to prevent leakage of expanding resin. The cable bushings therefore contribute significantly to the manufacturing cost of such a refrigerator. If electrical consumers, signalers, switches, etc are provided at the taps, corresponding problems arise when laying their connecting cables.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a refrigerator with cold water dispenser, which is easy and inexpensive to install and easy to repair.
  • a refrigerator with a housing in which in a wall of the housing an outwardly open, a tapping point for chilled water or the like containing niche is formed, and wherein the wall defining an inner skin, an outer skin and a between Inner and outer skin extending insulating material filling comprises, and with a reservoir for tapped at the tapping point water or the like solved in that in the niche an insulating partition is inserted, which separates the reservoir receiving the inner region of the niche of the tapping receiving outer region , By placing the reservoir in the niche, the need to embed it in the insulation material for protection against hypothermia is avoided, while adequate cooling of the reservoir is ensured by being shielded from the environment by the insulating partition. By dismantling the partition, the reservoir can be exposed so that repairs to it are possible.
  • a considerable simplification of the assembly results when a reservoir supplying the water pipe is accommodated in a recessed into the outer skin of the wall channel. This eliminates the need to pass the supply line of the reservoir through the insulation material guide, and a complex sealing of openings in the inner and outer skin of the wall is not required.
  • Such a channel which is countersunk into the outer skin of the wall, can furthermore also receive a supply line for an electrical consumer arranged at the niche.
  • a passage in the wall which connects the inner region of the niche with the interior, allows efficient and rapid cooling of the reservoir by air exchange between the inner region of the niche and the interior.
  • a fan may be attached to the at least one passage. This can represent an electrical consumer as mentioned above.
  • a heater adjacent to the reservoir may be provided as protection against freezing of the tank contents. It too can be an electrical consumer.
  • the heater is expediently arranged on one of the insulating intermediate wall facing side of the tank.
  • an ice storage container is preferably arranged in the interior of the refrigerator, which connects a passage of the wall with the outer region of the niche.
  • the passage is suitably closed by an electrically controllable flap, so that when no ice is removed, no warm outside air passes through the passage in the interior.
  • the flap is expediently part of an assembly inserted into the niche.
  • the assembly is separated from the insulation material by the outer skin of the wall and therefore, if repair is required, can be removed without affecting the insulation material.
  • heating may be provided on a surface of the insulating wall facing the outer region of the niche.
