Patent number: 11067333Abstract: A refrigeration device has an electrical device part which emits noise during operation. A controller operates the electrical device part in a normal operating power range. A noise sensor detects an intensity of the emitted noise from the electrical device part. The controller is configured to change an operating power of the electrical device part within the normal operating power range and to determine a minimum value of the noise intensity which is detected by the noise sensor and to determine a noise-reduced operating power in order to operate the electrical device part at the noise-reduced operating power.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: BSH Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Horst Drotleff, Daniel Micko, Adolf Feinauer, Matthias Mrzyglod, Niels Liengaard

Patent number: 10415866Abstract: In an ice maker with a tray having at least one water-receiving cavity, a wall of the cavity contains a phase change material. If an ice maker of this kind is pre-cooled, so that the phase change material is solid, a great deal of heat can be removed from water poured into the cavities in a short time by the heat causing the phase change material to melt.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2015Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: BSH Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Bernd Brabenec, Adolf Feinauer, Karl-Friedrich Laible
