Abstract: A household refrigeration apparatus has an interior container with a first wall and with a second wall arranged angled thereto. The interior container bounds a first receiving space for food of the household refrigeration apparatus. An ice maker has a housing formed by a wall area of the first wall of the interior container and a wall area of the second wall of the interior container in certain areas. The wall area of the first wall is formed with a wall step with a protrusion, which protrudes into the receiving space of the ice maker, wherein the protrusion is formed as a condensation water drip bar.

Abstract: Shipping container for a temperature-sensitive payload. In one embodiment, the shipping container includes an insulated base having a bottom wall and four side walls. A first thermally conductive member is positioned on the bottom wall. A payload box is centered on top of the first thermally conductive member, and four frozen packs, each having a thickness matching the height of the payload box, are positioned along the four sides of the payload box. An insulating frame may be placed around the payload box to keep the frozen packs from directly contacting the payload box. A second thermally conductive member is positioned on top of the payload box and the four frozen packs, and an insulated lid is positioned on top of the second thermally conductive member and the four side walls of the base. One, both or neither of the thermally conductive members may be removed to optimize seasonal suitability.

Abstract: Beverage coolers for storing and cooling bottled beverages. A beverage cooler may include a cooling chamber cooled by a refrigeration system, and openings in the cooling chamber for receiving bottled beverages to be chilled. The openings may have doors and/or seals to minimize heat exchange between the cooling chamber and the environment with or without bottles disposed in the openings. Each of the openings may have a visual indicator, such as a plurality of LEDs, configured to indicate the temperature of the bottle disposed in the opening.

Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus (10) is configured to be shipped in generally flat boxes and assembled near a location of use. A plurality of enclosure panels (12) bound an interior area (15). A cover panel (18) including a door (22) closes a top of the interior area. A platform panel (30) including an evaporator (32) closes the interior area at an end opposed of the cover panel. The platform which includes heat transfer components is supported on a base (52) with casters (60) that facilitate the movement of the apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed is a chiller for a canister including: a drum-shaped tray with an open upper part; an inner casing inserted in the tray with a given space between the inside wall surface of the tray and the inner casing for receiving the canister; and a drainage container arranged between the inner casing and the tray for collecting cooling water discharged from the inner casing, thus preventing dew from being produced on the surface of the tray.
