Abstract: This invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer with an ice maker, wherein the appliance includes at least one fan associated to the ice maker, which is arranged such that cold air is supplied to the ice maker by means of the fan.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer with an interior to be cooled for accommodating the goods to be refrigerated and/or frozen and with a magnetic cooler, wherein the magnetic cooler is at least partly arranged in the interior of the appliance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer with a magnetic cooler, comprising a cold heat exchanger for cooling the cooling and/or freezing space of the appliance and means for detecting a value representative of the temperature of the cold heat exchanger, wherein the appliance includes a control or adjusting unit by means of which the temperature and/or the amount of the heat transfer medium supplied to the cold heat exchanger is adjustable such that in cooling operation the temperature of the cold heat exchanger does not go below 0° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit having a magnetic refrigerator, having a cold heat exchanger for the refrigeration of the refrigerator space and/or freezer space of the unit as well as having control means, wherein the control means are made such that, in the refrigerating mode of the unit, the heat carrier medium refrigerated in the magnetic refrigerator is supplied to the cold heat exchanger, wherein the control means are furthermore made such that the magnetic refrigerator is switched off in the defrosting mode of the unit; or in that the heat carrier medium heated in the magnetic refrigerator is supplied to the cold heat exchanger.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer with a heat transfer circuit, which comprises a magnetic cooler, a pump for delivering the heat transfer medium, a cold heat exchanger for cooling the refrigerating and/or freezing space of the appliance, and a warm heat exchanger for cooling the heat transfer medium, wherein the warm heat exchanger has a cross-sectional area between 14 mm2 and 54 mm2.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit having at least one refrigeration space and/or freezing space as well as having at least one drawer arranged in the refrigeration space and/or freezing space, with a space being located beneath the drawer in the refrigeration space and/or freezing space, with one or more components of the unit being arranged in the space.

Abstract: A refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit has a unit carcass with one inner wall behind which a cooling element of the refrigerator circuit is arranged for the refrigerating of the inner space as well as with a cover plate disposed as a screen in front of the inner wall of the unit carcass in the inner space of the unit carcass. The cover plate is held in the inner space by a releasable fastener and can be removed from the inner space so that the inner space can be used selectively with or without a cover plate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit comprising a cooling tank, which includes an inner tank having a refrigerated space, and an evaporator. The present invention furthermore relates to a method of installing a refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit in which an evaporator as well as at least one further electrical and/or technical cooling functional component are inserted in an inner tank of the refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit and are fastened to an inner tank wall. Installing the various electrical and technical cooling components after one another individually at different positions of the inner tank of the unit and individually connecting them to the outwardly disposed electronics of the unit is avoided with the present invention. Already installing individual components before the foaming of the unit tank is in particular also avoided, whereby the housing handling is considerably facilitated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the storage of deep-frozen goods in a freezer having a speed-controlled compressor. In accordance with the invention, the compressor is operated in long-term operation and the temperature is lowered in a low-temperature mode to a temperature which is clearly below ?18° C., and is kept substantially constant at this selected temperature with only low temperature fluctuations which are caused by a change in speed of the compressor.

Abstract: A refrigerator and freezer unit has a throughgoing inner container, which forms a freezer compartment trough and a chilled goods trough which are integrally connected to one another in a flexurally rigid manner without any joining line or kinking edge, and an evaporator (9) seated on the freezer compartment trough (6). A wound box evaporator which surrounds the freezer compartment trough peripherally on four sides is provided as the evaporator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer, comprising a liquefier, an evaporator and a compressor, wherein the refrigerator and/or freezer includes means by which a pressure compensation between liquefier and evaporator is prevented or slowed down during the standstill of the compressor, and that the refrigerator and/or freezer includes a means for effecting the compressor start-up, wherein the means for effecting the compressor start-up comprise means for increasing the starting torque of the compressor and/or means for increasing the starting current of the compressor motor and/or means which ensure that the crank shaft of the compressor stops in a preferred position after shutting off the compressor motor, and/or means for the at least partial pressure compensation between the pressure side and the suction side of the compressor and/or means for reducing the initially required starting torque.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit comprising a refrigerant circuit, which has a compressor, a condenser, at least one capillary tube as well as at least one evaporator, and a control device for the control of the refrigerant flow through the refrigerant circuit. The invention further relates to a method for the control of such a refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit, wherein at least one operating parameter and/or ambient parameter of the refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit is detected and the refrigerant flow is controlled by the refrigerant circuit in dependence on the detected operating parameter and/or ambient parameter. It is proposed in accordance with the invention to control the refrigerant flow in that the capillary tube is heated by means of a heating device and thereby causing the refrigerant flowing through the capillary tube to evaporate.
