Refrigerator cooler and housing cabinet and an improved method of insertion of the refrigerator compressor unit

A refrigeration unit compartment including a refrigerator unit comprising:

• a refrigeration unit having a back side, a front side, lower side and an upper side, an inclined surface extending downwardly adjacent and towards the front side, the upper side includes a first set of an evaporator inlet opening and an evaporator cool air exhaust opening;
• the refrigerator unit compartment includes an opening for receiving the refrigeration unit, a lower support surface and an upper 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, the upper surface includes a second set of an evaporator inlet opening and an evaporator cool air exhaust opening;
• a seal secured around a perimeter 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 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 the front side of the refrigerator unit compartment engages the inclined surface of the refrigeration unit, causing the refrigeration unit to be lifted and thus compressing the seal so as to seal the first set of openings with the second set of openings.

A method of inserting a refrigeration unit into a refrigeration unit compartment comprising:

• handling the refrigeration unit;
• moving the refrigeration unit towards the refrigeration unit compartment;
• fitting the refrigeration unit with the refrigeration unit compartment;
• inserting the refrigeration unit into the refrigeration unit compartment;
• engaging an incline portion of the refrigeration unit with an incline portion of the refrigeration unit compartment;
• raising the refrigeration unit in the refrigeration unit compartment as the incline portions of the refrigeration unit and the refrigeration unit compartment, respectively, are engaged;
• compressing a seal on the refrigeration unit as the refrigeration unit is raised in the refrigeration unit compartment;
• raising the refrigeration unit in the refrigeration unit compartment until such time as the refrigeration unit can no longer be further inserted;
• and
• securing the refrigeration unit in the refrigeration unit compartment.
