Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly for a refrigeration device, in particular for a domestic refrigeration device, has: a condenser for delivering heat to the environment and a radial fan for conveying an air stream over the condenser. The condenser is arranged at a suction opening of a first air guide channel which is connected to a suction connection of the radial fan.
Claims18
A heat exchanger assembly for a refrigeration appliance, the heat exchanger assembly comprising:
- a condenser for delivering heat to an environment;
- a radial fan to convey an air flow by way of said condenser, said radial fan having an intake connection and a discharge connection;
- a first air guide channel having an intake opening formed within said first air guide channel and connected to said intake connection of said radial fan, said condenser disposed at said intake opening of said first air guide channel such that the air flow is guided generally without a change of flow direction from said condenser into said intake opening;
- and
- a second air guide channel connected to said discharge connection of said radial fan and having an extended discharge opening expelling the air flow along a rear wall of the refrigeration appliance.

A refrigeration appliance, comprising:
- a storage compartment for holding refrigerated items;
- a rear wall;
- a machine compartment being separate from said storage compartment;
- and
- a refrigerant circuit to dissipate heat from said storage compartment and to deliver the heat to an environment, said refrigerant circuit having a heat exchanger assembly disposed in said machine compartment, said heat exchanger assembly containing:
- a condenser for delivering the heat to the environment;
- a radial fan to convey an air flow by way of said condenser, said radial fan having an intake connection and a discharge connection;
- a first air guide channel having an intake opening formed therein and connected to said intake connection of said radial fan, said condenser disposed at said intake opening of said first air guide channel such that the air flow is guided generally without a change of flow direction from said condenser into said intake opening;
- and
- a second air guide channel connected to said discharge connection of said radial fan and having an extended discharge opening expelling the air flow along said rear wall.
