  • Patent number: 10267553
    Abstract: A household refrigerator has a housing formed with a receiving space. An icemaker unit for dispensing ice is arranged in the receiving space. The icemaker unit has a tray in which shaping regions are formed for specifying a shape of shaped ice elements that are produced from liquid poured into the tray. The icemaker unit has a cooling device with which a cooling air flow is produced for cooling the tray. The cooling device has an evaporator and a fan. A fan wheel of the fan blows the cold produced by the evaporator in a cooling air flow. The fan wheel is arranged in a separate pressure chamber.

  • Patent number: 8099974
    Abstract: A refrigerator including a housing with a chassis and a door enclosing a chilled interior; and a pressure equalization valve extending through a wall of the housing thereby facilitating an inflow of air from the surroundings into the interior and thereby blocking an outflow of air from the interior into the surroundings, the refrigerator comprising, a wall having a throughbore formed therein in a parallel flow arrangement with the pressure equalization valve, through which air can pass in two directions, wherein the flow of air is less than that of the airflow through the pressure equalization valve in the throughflow direction and greater than that of the air leakage value of the pressure equalization valve in the blocked direction.

  • Publication number: 20110229341
    Abstract: An impeller for a fan having a hub that can be easily fastened to a shaft is disclosed. A multiplicity of vanes is fastened to the hub. At least one elastic damping body is provided in the hub between the receptacle and the vanes to damp the transfer of vibrations from the shaft to the vanes, and prevent vibration of the vanes relative to each other. A slotted central sleeve in the inner section of the hub forms the receptacle for the shaft and is surrounded by an annular spring.
