Abstract: A no-frost refrigerator includes at least one storage compartment, an evaporator, which can be switched on and off and is disposed in a chamber that is separate from the storage compartment, and a fan for driving an exchange of air between the storage compartment and the chamber. Of the evaporator and fan, at least one can be operated while the other is switched off.

Abstract: A cooling device is provided having three storage zones that are insulated from each other and cooled via evaporators through which a coolant flows. A first coolant circuit extends through a first and a second of the three storage zones and a second coolant circuit positioned parallel to the first coolant circuit extends through the first and the third of the storage zones.

Abstract: A refrigerating appliance comprising a storage compartment, a refrigerant circuit which serves to cool the storage compartment and contains a compressor, and comprising a collecting receptacle for condensed water flowing out of the storage compartment. The collecting receptacle can be heated by a heating device that can be independently operated by the operation of the compressor.

Abstract: A compressor for a refrigerating device including a housing and an evaporation tray mounted on the housing. The evaporation tray is formed from a sleeve-like element mounting on the housing around a partial surface of the top of the housing.

Abstract: A freezer includes a refrigerating surface that is capable of freezing and a measuring circuit for estimating the quantity of ice located on the refrigerating surface and for furnishing a warning signal when the estimated quantity of ice exceeds a limit value. The freezer includes a sensor sensing at least one climatic condition and a refrigerating surface periodically freezing, and a measuring circuit having at least one sensor and a time measuring device estimating a quantity of ice on said refrigerating surface based upon various factors. A warning signal is supplied when an estimated quantity of ice exceeds a predetermined limit value.

Abstract: The evaporator for a refrigeration device includes a hydrophobic coating on the surface thereof to inhibit the icing of the evaporator during operation and to reduce the generation of noises arising from relative displacements between the evaporator and the ice attached thereto. The evaporator is a lamellar evaporator and has a pipeline through which a refrigerant flows and a surface in thermally conductive contact with the pipeline. The surface is a heat-exchange surface and has a hydrophobic layer of oil thereon.

Abstract: Carbonator apparatus used in connection with a postmix beverage dispenser system includes a water delivery branching circuit for the water fed under pressure from a fresh water source and which is used to fill a storage tank for carbonated water produced therein and to supply fresh water to a recirculating type of fresh water cooling structure which includes a water circulating coil located in the bottom of the storage tank and/or a water channel guide located on the outside of the storage tank. The branching system selectively enables fresh water to be fed into a carbonator storage tank where the water is blended with CO.sub.2 gas or is guided around it while being cooled without being carbonated so that either cooled carbonated water or non-carbonated water is delivered to a mixing station along with a drink concentrate.

Abstract: For enhanced cooling power in a beverage vending machine the compressor is arranged in a recess of the apparatus housing, and the condenser in the form of a coil-shaped tube, is arranged in a convection shaft connected to the recess. One wall of the shaft is formed by the rear wall of the housing. Inside the shaft the tube coil of the condenser is disposed diagonally upwards in the direction of the rear wall of the apparatus housing.
