ABSTRACT : Most refrigerated food needs to be thawed, or
brought to room temperature before it is reheated &/or directly consumed.
Quick thawing will require some sort of additional expensive energy.
BACK GROUND OF THE
INVENTION :
001 – Field of
Invention. The present Invention relates
to redesigning the heat sink of the refrigerators into an enclosed chamber for
the purpose of thawing the cold food, by using the waste heat of the
refrigerators.
002 - Description of Prior Act. The heat sink of a refrigerator is normally
made up of long tubing bent into snake like pattern and reinforced by vertical
stiffeners to look like a radiator. This flat arrangement is mounted at the rear
or in the base of the fridge. It poses lots of problems when the appliance is
handled from point A to point B. Extra care and special packing is required to
protect this radiator from being damaged during handling and transport. Additionally,
the heat from the radiator is wasted away into the kitchen/dinning area which
means extra energy must be spent to maintain the area temperature.
003 - SUMMARY OF
INVENTION :
The prime
objective of the present invention is to facilitate the thawing process by
utilizing the waste heat from the refrigerator itself. A thawing chamber
located either at the top or base of the appliance as an integral feature will
positively enhance its value for the user/customer.
004 – Accordingly
the present invention will have an enclosed space fully insulated to heat up
the cold food when ever required. At all other times it will become normal heat
sink with air circulating freely through the maze of tubes.
005 - Accordingly
the closing and opening of the front door will be linked to two sets of
perforated casings surrounding the chamber to allow the heat to be trapped in
closed position and escape in open position to allow normal cooling of the
radiator.
006 – Accordingly the
perforation on the surrounding casings will be offset and at an angle which
will hide the radiator from the view of the user, yet provide the function of
closing and opening of the perforations with just one action of the door
closing/opening.
