         14 . A refrigeration device comprising:
 a water filter; and   a coil condenser having a central cavity; the water filter being located in the central cavity of the coil condenser.   
     
     
         15 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the water filter is surrounded by a sleeve. 
     
     
         16 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the sleeve has surfaces that reflect radiated heat. 
     
     
         17 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the water filter includes a filter base and a filter cartridge; the filter cartridge being replaceably installable in the filter base. 
     
     
         18 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the filter base is disposed adjacent to a first axial end of the central cavity and the filter cartridge is insertable into the cavity from the other axial end. 
     
     
         19 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the filter base is disposed axially externally to the central cavity. 
     
     
         20 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 17  further including a fan motor; the fan motor being housed in the central cavity and the filter base being disposed in the central cavity adjacent to the fan motor. 
     
     
         21 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 17  further including a drip pan; the a drip pan being disposed at least beneath the filter base. 
     
     
         22 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 14  further including a housing having an external wall; an opening formed in the external wall; the filter cartridge being insertable into the central cavity through the opening in the external wall of the housing. 
     
     
         23 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 22 , wherein the opening is disposed in the front side of the housing. 
     
     
         24 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 17  further including a handle section; the filter cartridge including a water-tight capsule in which filter material is contained; and the handle section being attached to the water-tight capsule. 
     
     
         25 . The refrigeration device as claimed in  claim 24 , wherein the water-tight capsule is entirely contained in the housing.
