Abstract
A refrigerator unit compartment including a refrigeration unit is provided with a seal, with the refrigerator unit compartment having an inclined surface at the back portion thereof, and wherein the refrigeration unit includes a plurality of adjustable elevating devices such that, after the refrigeration unit is pushed into the refrigerator unit compartment, the elevating devices are manually actuated in order to level the refrigeration unit in the refrigerator unit compartment and thereby cause compression of the seal disposed about the evaporator cool air exhaust opening and the evaporator inlet opening of the refrigeration unit.
Claims6
A refrigerator unit compartment including a refrigeration unit comprising:
- the refrigerator unit compartment includes an opening for receiving the refrigeration unit, a lower support surface and an upper support surface, the lower support surface is adapted for receiving the refrigeration unit and includes an inclined surface extending upwardly adjacent and towards the back side thereof, the upper surface includes a first set of an evaporator cool air exhaust opening;
- a refrigeration unit having a back side, a front side, a lower side and an upper side, a plurality of adjustable elevating devices extending downwardly adjacent and towards the front side thereof, the upper side includes a second set of an evaporator inlet opening and an evaporator cool air exhaust opening;
- and
- a seal secured around a periphery of the evaporator inlet opening and the evaporator cool air exhaust opening of either the first set or the second set, whereby when the refrigeration unit is slid into the refrigerator unit compartment opening, along the lower support surface and below the upper support surface, the seal is in an uncompressed state, and after further insertion into the refrigerator unit compartment, the back side of the refrigeration unit engages the inclined surface of the refrigerator unit compartment, and thereafter the adjustable elevating devices are extended to vertically lift the front side of the refrigeration unit, causing compression of the seal so as to seal the first set of openings with the second set of openings.
