Two-part cooling device

Abstract

A two-part cooling device including a heat-insulating housing and a cooling circuit including an evaporator, a compressor and a liquefier. The cooling device is subdivided into a first component including at least one housing and the evaporator and a second component including at least the compressor. The first and second components are separable and can be placed in a variable manner in relation to each other.

       12 . A refrigerating appliance, comprising: 
 a heat-insulating housing;    a cooling circuit including an evaporator, a compressor and a condenser;    a first assembly including at least said housing and said evaporator; and    a second assembly including at least said compressor, said first and said second assembly can be placed variably in relation to one another.    
   
   
       13 . The refrigerating appliance according to  claim 12 , including a coupling disposed in a coolant pipe connecting said first assembly and said second assembly.  
   
   
       14 . The refrigerating appliance according to  claim 13 , including said coupling including a first coupling portion attached to said first assembly and a second coupling portion attached to said second assembly, said two coupling portions are self-closing in the uncoupled state allowing said first assembly and said second assembly to be detachably separable from one another.  
   
   
       15 . The refrigerating appliance according to  claim 12 , including said second assembly provided with forced ventilation.  
   
   
       16 . The refrigerating appliance according to  claim 12 , including said condenser being part of said second assembly.  
   
   
       17 . The refrigerating appliance according to  claim 13 , including said coolant pipe together with a condensation water pipe is guided in a line and including a coupling disposed in said condensation water pipe.  
   
   
       18 . The refrigerating appliance according to  claim 12 , including the refrigerating appliance built into kitchen furniture having a base zone and said second assembly accommodated in said base zone.  
   
   
       19 . The refrigerating appliance according to  claim 18 , including said kitchen furniture having at least one compartment, said two assemblies separated by at least one compartment of said kitchen furniture.  
   
   
       20 . An assembly for a refrigerating appliance, comprising: 
 a heat-insulating housing;    an evaporator; and    at least one coupling portion from which at least one of an inlet or drain pipe for a coolant extends to said evaporator.    
   
   
       21 . An assembly for a refrigerating appliance, comprising 
 a compressor and at least one of a suction or pressure pipe for a coolant, said suction pipe and said pressure pipe each extend between said compressor and a coupling portion.    
   
   
       22 . A method for installing a refrigerating appliance in furniture, comprising the following steps: 
 a. installing a first assembly of the refrigerating appliance, including at least one heat-insulating housing, an evaporator and a coolant pipe, in a first zone of the furniture;    b. installing a second assembly including at least one compressor in a second zone of said furniture; and    c. connecting connections of said coolant pipe of said first assembly to corresponding connections of said second assembly.
