  • Publication number: 20180010841
    Abstract: A domestic refrigeration appliance has a separate storage area in an internal space into which foodstuffs, forming storage items, can be introduced. A liquid fluid can be introduced in the storage area independently of the internal space. For keeping the storage items fresh in the storage area a first operating mode and a storage mode, different therefrom, can be carried out. In the storage mode an aerosol mist generated by a misting device of the domestic refrigeration appliance is introduced as a fluid, and a misting rate of the aerosol mist during the storage mode is matched to a setpoint misting rate in dependence on at least one misting device-specific influencing parameter and/or a fluid-specific influencing parameter and/or a storage area-specific influencing parameter. There is also described a domestic refrigeration appliance.

  • Patent number: 9546808
    Abstract: In a refrigeration appliance, particularly a household refrigeration appliance, having a storage space for cooled material, at least one passage for the flow of air into and out of the storage space is formed in a wall delimiting the storage space. A fan drives an air flow. A moveable closure element between the fan and the storage space is arranged at the passage, which closure element in the open position allows a flow of air driven by said fan to circulate in the storage space and in the closed position guides the flow of air driven by the fan through a duct running along one outer side of a wall of the storage space.

  • Publication number: 20160313048
    Abstract: A domestic refrigeration appliance includes an interior in which a partial volume is constructed as a separated storage area in which food can be placed, and a humidifying device with which a fluid can be introduced in the storage area independently of the rest of the interior. The humidifying device includes a tank having the fluid to be atomized and an atomizing unit which is connected to the tank for fluid conduction. The storage area has a drawer and at least the tank of the humidifying device is disposed outside of and next to the drawer without an overlap in the width direction of the domestic appliance and at the same height level as the drawer at least in some regions.
