Abstract: A refrigeration device, a freezer device, or a device having both, with a cooled interior space and with a storage container for ice cubes located in this interior space. The device includes an ice cube maker that produces ice cubes. The ice cubes are received in the storage container. A pulse generation is provided, in which one or multiple pulses are applied to the storage container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigeration and/or freezer device with a cooled interior space and with a storage container for ice cubes located in this interior space, wherein the device preferably comprises an ice cube maker, wherein the ice cubes produced in the ice cube maker are received in the storage container, wherein pulse generation means are provided, which are arranged to apply one or multiple pulses to the storage container.

Abstract: An expansion valve for reducing a pressure of a fluid flowing through the expansion valve along a fluid flow path has: at least one fluid inlet and at least one fluid outlet, a first valve element with at least one first channel structure, a second valve element with at least one second channel structure and a third channel structure, wherein the first and second valve elements are movable relative to each other, wherein, in a first position of the valve elements, the first and second channel structures are aligned with each other and form a first fluid flow path having a first flow resistance between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, and wherein in a second position of the valve elements, the first and third channel structures are aligned with each other and form a second fluid flow path having a second flow resistance.

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.
