Modular refrigeration apparatus

A refrigeration system disposed within a cabinet having a refrigerated and unrefrigerated portion, comprising:

• condenser means for circulating a refrigerant through a plurality of coils, said condenser means including a compressor and a condenser fan for drawing air from outside the cabinet across the plurality of coils for cooling the refrigerant and directing a flow of warm air from the coils inside a condenser exhaust channel to outside the cabinet wherein the flow of warm air from the condenser fan creates a separate flow of air for cooling the compressor due to an aspiration effect within the condenser exhaust channel;
• evaporator means, in communication with said condenser means, for cooling and circulating air in said refrigerated portion of said cabinet, said evaporator means including an evaporator fan for creating a circular flow of air within the refrigerated portion of said cabinet;
• temperature control means, connected to said condenser means and evaporator means, for controlling the temperature of air circulated in said cabinet;
• and
• a base for housing said condenser means, evaporator means and temperature control means, said base being removably insertable in said cabinet, said base including a partition separating said temperature control and condenser means from said evaporator means.
