- These components include a compressor 1, which is conventionally housed in a niche 2, also referred to as a machine room, shown in the figure as a dotted outline, in a lower rear region of the refrigerator body.
- a condenser 3 which receives compressed refrigerant from the compressor 1, may be plate-shaped as shown in the figure and may be mounted exposed on the rear side of the refrigerator body above the engine room 2; a compact-shaped condenser could also be accommodated in the machine room 2 and cooled by a fan.
- the refrigerant passes through a throttle point, here in the form of a capillary 4, in an evaporator 5, which is shown here as a coldwall evaporator, and from there via a suction line 7 back to the compressor 1.
- a frame heater 6 is through a refrigerant pipe formed, which extends along one of the door of the refrigeration device housing facing side of the body to prevent condensation there.
- the frame heater can be inserted in the refrigerant circuit between the compressor 1 and the condenser 3 or also downstream of the condenser 3. Smaller components such as a dryer or a particulate filter may be inserted at various locations in the refrigerant circuit.
- Components valves not shown may be provided to prevent unwanted displacements of the refrigerant, for example between condenser 3 and evaporator 5 at times when the compressor 1 is out of operation, or to a refrigeration device associated with several storage chambers and these storage chambers respectively
- Evaporators control the distribution of the refrigerant to the evaporator.
- FIG. 2 the rear side of the compressor 1 facing away from the viewer on FIG. 1, which is easily accessible during the assembly of the device, is shown in FIG. 2 in a perspective view
- Connecting member 8 is provided.
- the connecting support part 8 is integrally formed from sheet metal and comprises a substantially rectangular base plate 9, at the upper and lower edge of each of which a web 10 or 1 1 is bent at right angles. At the vertical edges of the base plate 9, a tongue 12 is cut free and angled to conform to the outer shape of the housing of the compressor. 1
- connection support part 8 snugly and allow attachment of the connection support part 8 by screwing, spot welding or the like.
- the upper web 10 has a plurality of circular recesses 13, 14, 15, with which each open-edged cutouts 16, 17, 18 of the lower web 1 1 are aligned.
- Cutouts 16, 17, 18 each have a keyhole-like shape with a round core region 19 and an input region 20, which connects the core region 19 with the edge of the web 11 and is narrower than the core region 19.
