Benefits of technology

[0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved refrigerator cabinet, which is suitable for bringing bottles of wine and the like to a desired serving temperature.
[0009] Especially, it is object to provide such a refrigerator cabinet which allows for varying the sizes of two or more compartments or zones kept at different temperatures and which provides for an improved control of the temperature and temperature gradients within each zone.

Problems solved by technology

The temperature in the compartments cannot therefore be controlled individually.
This allows for better individual control of the temperature in each compartment but it also adds considerably to the cost of the service wine cellar.
Such placement of the evaporators or air openings is unfavourable for achieving a well-controlled and constant temperature gradient within the compartments.
However, the known systems provide little control of the temperature gradient within each compartment.

Embodiment Construction

[0037] First with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 the refrigerator cabinet shown in the figures comprises a top 1 and a bottom 2 wall, two sidewalls 3, 4 a back wall 5 and a front door 6. These walls and front door enclose a storage compartment 7. The storage compartment 7 is divided into an upper compartment or upper zone 7a and a lower compartment or lower zone 7b by a horizontal partition wall 8. The partition wall 8 is fixable at different vertical positions along a mid portion 9 of the storage compartment 7. In FIGS. 1 and 2 the partition wall 8 is fixed in its second upper most position. By changing the position of the partition wall 8, the sizes of the upper 7a and lower 7b zones are changed. The mid portion 9 of the storage compartment 7, along which portion the partition wall 8 may be fixed at different positions, is in the following referred to as a zone size varying portion 9. A number of horizontal shelves 70 for supporting bottles lying down are arranged in each of the zones...

Abstract

Refrigerator cabinet, especially for bringing bottles of wine to the proper serving temperature, comprising a refrigerating system with a heat exchanger (14a, 14b), which is arranged in a heat exchanger chamber (11, 12), a storage compartment (7) which is enclosed by outer cabinet walls (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and by a cabinet door (6), and a partition wall (8) for delimiting a first (7a) and a second (7b) zone within said storage compartment. The partition wall is fixable at different positions within a zone size varying portion (9) of said storage compartment for allowing the sizes of the first and second zone to be varied.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a refrigerator cabinet, especially for bringing bottles of wine to the proper serving temperature. Such refrigerator cabinets are sometimes referred to as service wine cellars. The refrigerator cabinet according to the invention is especially suitable for storing or bringing bottles of wine to the respective optimal serving temperature, which wines are best served at different temperatures. BACKGROUND [0002] Different wines are normally considered to be best served at different serving temperatures. Generally, many red wines are considered to be most tasteful when served at around 15-19° C., whereas many white wines should be served at around 6-10° C. Further, different wines within each group of red and white wines have a more precise optimal serving temperature within these general ranges. For instance, some red wines are best served at 15.5° C., whereas other red wines are better at 18° C. Normally, it is further considered t...
