Abstract
A thermal food storage cabinet has a sealed box with a thermally insulated compartment, a freezer compartment and a refrigeration compartment, a compressor, a condenser, evaporator and thermal expansion valve. The thermally insulated compartment has a heat-conducting panel. The compressor, the evaporator and the thermal expansion valve are mounted in the thermal food storage cabinet to cool the freezer compartment and the refrigeration compartment. The condenser is mounted on the heat-conducting panel so heat dissipated by the condenser can flow into the thermally insulated compartment.
Claims2
A thermal food storage cabinet comprising:
- a sealed box having
- a top;
- a bottom;
- a front having
- an upper opening;
- a middle opening;
- and
- a lower opening;
- a rear;
- two sides;
- a base being formed at the bottom of the sealed box;
- an upper door being attached pivotally to the front of the sealed box and covering and sealing the upper opening;
- a middle door being attached pivotally to the front of the sealed box and covering and sealing the middle opening;
- a bottom door being attached pivotally to the front of the sealed box and covering and sealing the lower opening;
- an interior compartment;
- multiple horizontal partitions being attached to the front, sides and rear of the sealed box and being mounted in pairs separated by a gap in the interior compartment of the sealed box respectively between the openings in the front and forming
- a thermally insulated compartment corresponding to the upper opening in the front of the sealed box and having
- an open rear;
- and
- a heat-conducting panel being mounted on and sealing the open rear of the thermally insulated compartment;
