Refrigeration device

Abstract

A refrigeration device comprising a housing, a door, a refrigeration circuit comprising an evaporator, a condenser and a compressor and electronic components for operating the refrigeration device. A channel for conducting an electric line or a refrigeration circuit connection is integrated into the interior of the housing and/or the door.

1 - 7 . (canceled) 
   
   
       8 . A refrigeration device comprising a housing, a door, a refrigeration circuit comprising an evaporator, a condenser and a compressor, and electronic components for operating the refrigeration device, wherein a channel for passing through an electric line or a refrigeration circuit connection is integrated inside the housing and/or the door. 
   
   
       9 . The refrigeration device according to  claim 8 , wherein the refrigeration device comprises a plurality of surface heat-insulated elements which can be connected to one another and detached from one another and when connected, form the housing of the refrigeration device and the channel is integrated inside at least one of the surface heat-insulated elements. 
   
   
       10 . The modular refrigeration device according to  claim 8 , wherein an electrical power supply for the electronic components of the refrigeration device and/or the electrical line for the electrical control signals for the refrigeration circuit transmitted by the electronic components are guided in the channel. 
   
   
       11 . The modular refrigeration device according to  claim 9 , wherein respectively one channel for an electrical line is arranged in two surface heat-insulated elements to be joined and an electrical contact device is integrated in one of these surface heat-insulated elements, which contact device automatically makes electrical contact with an electrical mating contact device integrated in this surface heat-insulated element during the mechanical connection of this surface heat-insulated element to the other surface heat-insulated element. 
   
   
       12 . The modular refrigeration device according to  claim 10 , wherein both the electrical power supply for the electronic components and also electric control signals from the electronic components to the refrigeration circuit are guided via the electrical contact and mating contact device. 
   
   
       13 . The modular refrigeration device according to  claim 8 , wherein all the electronic components of the refrigeration device are combined to form an electronics unit. 
   
   
       14 . The modular refrigeration device according to  claim 12 , wherein the electronics unit is secured to an inner side of the surface heat-insulating element in which the channel is integrated.
