Abstract

A freezer with an outer and inner housing, wherein the inner housing has a cooling space and a trough-shaped configuration on its bottom. There is a channel in the trough-shaped configuration to capture dew water and/or condensation water. A refrigerant circuit including a compressor and evaporator lines is operably connected to the cooling space of the inner housing. The evaporator lines of the refrigerant circuit run around the cooling space and are attached to at least one sidewall of the inner housing. The evaporator lines are located in the space between the inner and outer housing with the lowermost evaporation line adjacent to the lowermost portion of the channel.

Claims (14)

1. A cooling device comprising:

an outer housing;

an inner housing surrounding a cooling space;

a trough shaped configuration formed on a lower portion of the inner housing;

a refrigerant circuit including evaporator lines and a compressor, wherein the refrigerant circuit is operably connected to the cooling space;

the evaporator lines located in the space between the outer housing and the inner housing with each evaporator line bearing on the sidewall of the inner housing;

a channel formed into the trough shaped configuration on the lower portion of the inner housing; and

a lowermost evaporator line of the evaporator lines located horizontally adjacent to a lowermost portion of the channel at the same height above a bottom of the cooling device.

2. The cooling device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an electrical heating apparatus is located in the lowermost portion of the channel.

3. The cooling device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the electrical heating apparatus can be activated manually.

4. The cooling device according to claim 2 wherein the electrical heating apparatus is activated automatically.
