Abstract: This disclosure presents a stackable, multicompartment portable cooler with enhanced climate control and delivery features. The cooler may include adjustable vents for precisely controlling the temperature differential between adjacent compartments, a brochure receptor for including information about the delivery, and/or an automatic delivery flag for notification purposes. In addition, the cooler is modular and may be assembled/disassembled through the use of removable compartment dividers that subdivide the stacked main compartments into many subcompartments.

Abstract: A moisture control system generally comprising a collector element is configured to be incorporated into a structure to control moisture condensation on the interior and exterior of the structure. The collector element encourages condensation on its surface. The control system includes a channel in fluid communication with the collector element to direct the condensed liquid away from the control element.

Abstract: A refrigerator having an air passage duct which contains therein a wire and tube condenser where a cooling air caused by a fan flows. A refrigerator includes: a machine compartment having a fan therein for causing a flow of cooling air, located at a bottom of the refrigerator; an air passasge duct, connected to the machine compartment, containing a wire and tube condenser (referred to as a wire condenser hereinafter), the air duct and the wire condenser being placed at the bottom of the refrigerator; and an exhaust port for discharging an air used for radiating a heat of the wire condenser, wherein the air passage duct is formed in a zigzag shape so that the cooling air flowing through the air passage duct crosses through the wire condenser.

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.

Abstract: A freezing unit for use in a cold chamber to effect freezing of a load of pre-cooked food packages at a rate more rapid than the freezing rate of that load that would take place in the chamber in the absence of the unit. The unit includes a vertical plenum provided with a perforated wall and having an open input and a closeable output. The food packages are stacked in a rack adjacent the perforated wall of the plenum, with air spaces between the packages. Cold air drawn from the chamber atmosphere at a temperature below the freezing point of the food is forced into the input of the plenum to produce a positive pressure therein when the output is closed, thereby causing the pressurized cold air to penetrate the perforated plenum wall and pass through the air spaces in the stack at high velocity, the air returning to the cold chamber whereby rapid cooling of the packages is effected.
