Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling device, comprising at least one re-generatively operated primary cooling circuit, in particular a solar-powered cooling circuit, wherein the cooling circuit has at least one compressor, at least one condenser, at least one evaporator, at least one cooling space, at least one temperature sensor for measuring the cooling space temperature (Tair) in the cooling space, and a controller. A desired temperature value (SET) of the cooling space and a comparison temperature value (TSET) can be stored in the controller. The invention is characterised in that the cooling of the cooling space can be interrupted by the controller and the comparison temperature value (TSET) can be changed by the controller depending upon the time and/or the cooling space temperature (Tair).

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling element (1) for use in a cooling device (11), comprising a front face and a rear face and four side faces. The cooling element (1) is characterised in that the rear face of the cooling element (1) is substantially planar and the front face has reinforcing elements, wherein the reinforcing elements prevent deformation of the cooling element (1) during cooling and freezing. The invention also relates to a cooling device (11), in particular a freezer, comprising at least one cooling circuit, wherein the cooling circuit has a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser. The cooling device (11) also has a closable cooling space (15) that comprises a plurality of cooling space side walls, a cooling space base, a space for cooling goods (17), and at least one cooling element (1) according to the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling system comprising an essentially flat evaporator consisting of individual evaporation plates (3a). Each evaporation plate comprises two high-grade steel plates (9 and 10) of different thicknesses, that are assembled by means of welding points (6) and welding seams (8). A channel (14) is formed between the high-grade steel plates (9 and 10), through which a coolant flows. Preferably, the evaporator forms part of the inner housing of a refrigerating appliance. The evaporator is produced by welding the plates (9 and 10) together. Compressed air is then blown between the plates (9 and 10), whereby the thinner of the two plates (9,10) is curved in such a way the channel (14) is created for the coolant.
