Abstract
A refrigeration appliance includes a refrigerating space, a light-guiding layer, and a multi-layered part having a photocatalytic cover layer on a side facing the refrigerating space. The photocatalytic cover layer is applied to the light-guiding layer which enables light to be ducted to the photocatalytic cover layer.
Claims48
A refrigeration appliance, comprising:
- a refrigerating space;
- an inner wall at least partially delimiting the refrigerating space, the inner wall including a light-guiding layer and a photocatalytic cover layer applied to the light-guiding layer, the photocatalytic cover layer having a side exposed to the refrigerating space,
- wherein the light-guiding layer is configured to duct light to the photocatalytic cover layer.
A method of forming an inner wall of a refrigeration appliance, comprising:
- providing a light-guiding layer;
- applying a photocatalytic cover layer on the light-guiding layer, the photocatalytic cover layer being configured to be exposed to a refrigerating space of the refrigeration appliance,
- wherein the light-guiding layer is configured to duct light to the photocatalytic cover layer.
A refrigeration appliance, particularly a domestic refrigeration appliance, having a multi-layered, particularly molded part which on its side facing the refrigeration appliance's refrigerating space has a photocatalytic cover layer, wherein the photocatalytic cover layer has been applied to a light-guiding layer via which light can be ducted to the photocatalytic cover layer, wherein the photocatalytic cover layer has a photoactive material, for example Ti02, that is incorporated into a basic material, wherein the basic material of the photocatalytic cover layer as well as the light-guiding layer are capable of being deep-drawn, and wherein the basic material of the photocatalytic cover layer and the material of the light-guiding layer preferably belong to the same material families or are identical.
