Abstract: A fan including a main body with a vertical development with respect to a support base on which the main body is located in a condition of use. The fan has a rear longitudinal aperture, for the emission of a stream of air toward the outside, and also comprises an air suction and distribution unit, and a channeling element (20) positioned in proximity to the longitudinal aperture (16). The channeling element allows to divert the stream of air (W) so that it is conveyed toward a front part of the fan (10), at least partly following a profile (40) of an external surface (22) of the main body (12).

Abstract: A method is described to control a conditioning apparatus to prevent or reduce the risk or likelihood that molds will form, proliferate and grow, in particular in internal spaces conditioned by the conditioning apparatus. The control method provides to receive information that is characteristic of the room to be conditioned indicative of the thermal state of this room, to calculate a risk factor indicative of the likelihood of mold formation in the room to be conditioned, in which the risk factor is a function of the characteristic information, and to compare the risk factor with a respective threshold value, in which it is provided to activate the conditioning apparatus for a determinate interval of time when the outcome of the comparison of the risk factor calculated with the respective threshold value reveals a high risk of mold formation.

Abstract: A distributed refrigeration appliance system for use in a residential kitchen and other locations in a dwelling and includes multiple separate refrigeration appliance modules, a central cooling system and a cooling circuit. The system can include one or more satellite stations having a heat exchanger for supplying chilled air to one or more refrigeration appliance modules. One or more refrigeration appliance modules can include a thermal cascade cooling device to cool the module to lower temperatures than the cooling circuit can attain. One or more refrigeration appliance modules can be refrigeration/storage modules that can provide refrigerated, unconditioned or heated storage space. The central cooling system can be a vapor compression system having a refrigerant circuit connecting the modules. Alternately, the central cooling system can cool a secondary cooling medium circuit. The refrigeration system can have more than one refrigeration machine providing cooling to the secondary refrigeration loop.

Abstract: A refrigerator with an evaporator and at least one preservation compartment, in which the evaporator is formed from extendable spiral-wound tube of engineering polymer.

Abstract: An arrangement for the forced air circulation in refrigerators and freezers, whose cabinet (10) defines at least one compartment (20, 30), a respective door (21, 31), and an air-cooling chamber (11) lodging an evaporator (12) and from which the compartment is supplied with a forced cooling air-flow. The arrangement comprises: at least one suction duct (40), incorporated to the door (21, 31) and which is provided with air inlets (41), opened to the interior of the respective compartment (20, 30), and with at least one air outlet (42) turned to the interior of the cabinet (10). A return fan (50) is mounted so as to draw the air from different levels of the front part of the compartment, and to form inside the suction duct (40) a return airflow that is directed to the air outlet (42) of the suction duct (40).

Abstract: A refrigerator having a compressor and a control unit for selectively activating and deactivating the compressor in response to the temperature inside the refrigerator. The selective activation and deactivation of the compressor being carried out at predetermined cut-on and cut-off temperatures. The control unit being adapted to detect how the actual temperature inside the refrigerator increases above the cut-on value due to a special event, and to adjust the cut-off temperature of the refrigerator accordingly, in order to keep the temperature of stored food substantially constant.
