Description

Kälteqerät Kälteqerät
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät mit einem wenigstens eine Tür aufweisenden wärmeisolierenden Gehäuse, welches auf seiner der Tür gegenüberliegenden Gehäuserückseite einen zur Aufnahme eines Verdichters oder dergleichen dienenden Maschinenraum besitzt, in welchem ein mit Abstand über dem Verdichter anhand eines Halteabschnitts gehaltertes Tauwasserauffangbehältnis angeordnet ist, deren Behältnisboden zumindest von der Abwärme des Verdichters beaufschlagt ist.The invention relates to a refrigeration device with a heat-insulating housing having at least one door, which has on the rear of the housing opposite the door a machine room which serves to accommodate a compressor or the like and in which a condensation water collecting container is arranged at a distance above the compressor by means of a holding section, the container bottom of which is at least acted upon by the waste heat of the compressor.
Bei Kältegeräten ist es bekannt, zum Auffangen des während eines Abtauprozesses des Kältegerätes anfallenden Schmelzwassers Tauwasserauffangschalen vorzusehen, welche in den überwiegenden Fällen innerhalb des rückseitig am Kältegerätegehäuse ni- schenartig angeordneten Maschinenraums sitzen. Zur Steigerung der Verdunstungsleistung für das Schmelzwasser sind die Tauwasserauffangschalen mit der Abwärme des in diesem Maschinenraum angeordneten Kältemittelverdichters des Kältegerätes beaufschlagt, wobei die Tauwasserauffangschalen zu diesem Zweck entweder unmittelbar in wärmeleitendem Kontakt am Gehäuseoberteil des Verdichtergehäuses aufsitzen oder in geringem Abstand über dem Gehäuseoberteil innerhalb des Maschinenraums gehaltert sind. Derartige Anordnungen für Tauwasserauffangschalen bringen jedoch das Problem mit sich, daß je nach dem Anwendung findenden Verdichtertyp bei einem Wechsel des Verdichters eine Anpassung an diesen hinsichtlich der Formgebung oder der Halterung der Tauwasserauffangschale erforderlich ist, da die Verdichter in Abhängigkeit ihrer Lei- stung und ihres Herstellers unterschiedliche Gehäusegeometrien und unterschiedlicheIn refrigeration devices, it is known to provide condensate collecting trays for collecting the melt water that occurs during a defrosting process of the refrigeration device, which in most cases are located within the machine room which is niche-like on the rear of the refrigeration device housing. To increase the evaporation capacity for the melt water, the condensate collecting trays are exposed to the waste heat of the refrigerant compressor of the refrigeration device arranged in this machine room, for this purpose the condensate collecting trays either sit directly in heat-conducting contact on the upper housing part of the compressor housing or are kept a short distance above the upper housing part within the machine room are. Such arrangements for condensate drip trays, however, have the problem that, depending on the type of compressor used, a change to the compressor requires adaptation to the shape or mounting of the condensate drip tray, since the compressors depend on their capacity and their manufacturer different housing geometries and different
Bauhöhen besitzen. Durch derartige Anpassungen ergibt sich zwangsläufig eine Konstruktionsvielfalt von Tauwasserauffangschalen.Own heights. Such adjustments inevitably result in a variety of designs for condensate collecting trays.
Zur Vermeidung solcher Nachteile ist in der US-PS 5,881 ,566 eine Tauwasserauffang- schale mit einem festen Tragrahmen und einem flexiblen Schalenboden vorgeschlagen, welcher sich an unterschiedliche Geometrien des Verdichteroberteils anzupassen vermag und welcher bereits in gewissem Umfang auch Bauhöhenschwankungen von Verdichtern unterschiedlicher Hersteller auffangen kann. Ein derartiger Vorschlag bringt jedoch die Problematik mit sich, daß ein Bauhöhenausgleich für den Verdichter nur in einem gewissen Umfang stattfinden kann und daß der Boden dieser Tauwasserauffangschale durch seine Flexibilität ziemlich beschädigungsgefährdet ist und somit die Tauwasserauffangschale in der Fertigung mit besonderer Vorsicht zu handhaben ist. Darüber hinaus ist die Anbindung eines flexiblen Bodens an einen im Verhältnis dazu steifen Träger äußerst fertigungsaufwendig, wobei zudem bei dem flexiblen Boden die Gefahr besteht, daß die zur Gewährung der Flexibilität des Bodens geeigneten Materialien nur bedingt den für eine Tauwasserschale über deren Brauchbarkeitsdauer verlangten Anforderungen genügt.In order to avoid such disadvantages, US Pat. No. 5,881,566 proposes a condensate collecting pan with a fixed support frame and a flexible pan base, which can adapt to different geometries of the upper part of the compressor and which to a certain extent can also compensate for fluctuations in the height of compressors from different manufacturers. However, such a proposal brings with it the problem that the construction height can only be compensated for the compressor to a certain extent and that the bottom of this condensate collecting pan is at risk of damage due to its flexibility and the condensate collecting pan must therefore be handled with particular care in production. In addition, the connection of a flexible floor to a relatively rigid carrier is extremely expensive to manufacture, and there is also the risk with the flexible floor that the materials suitable for granting the flexibility of the floor only partially meet the requirements for a condensate tray over its useful life ,
Außerdem besteht bei dem flexiblen Boden, wenn dieser aufgrund eines mit großer Bauhöhe ausgestatteten Verdichters entsprechend durchgewölbt ausgelenkt ist, die Gefahr, daß das von der Auffangschale aufgefangene Abtauwasser in die abseits des Verdichtergehäuses liegenden, und somit weniger mit Wärme beaufschlagten, nach unten ausge- lenkten Bereiche des flexiblen Bodens abfließt und aufgrund der verminderten Wärmeeinwirkung nur äußerst langsam verdunstet.In addition, with the flexible base, if it is deflected accordingly due to a compressor with a large overall height, there is a risk that the defrosting water collected by the drip tray will deflect downward into the side of the compressor housing and therefore less exposed to heat Areas of the flexible floor drain and evaporate very slowly due to the reduced heat.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Kältegerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 mit einfachen konstruktiven Maßnahmen die Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu vermeiden.The invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art in a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 with simple design measures.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß der Behältnisboden und der Halteabschnitt des Tauwasserauffangbehältnisses miteinander durch eine in ihrer Höhe veränderbare Seitenwandung verbunden sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the container bottom and the holding section of the condensate collecting container are connected to one another by a side wall whose height can be changed.
Eine Tauwasserauffangschale mit in ihrer Höhe stufenlos oder in Stufen einstellbaren Seitenwandung eröffnet die Möglichkeit, unterschiedlichen Bauhöhen verschiedener Kältemittelverdichter, beispielsweise bedingt durch unterschiedliche Hersteller oder verschiedene Leistungsklassen, gezielt durch eine einfache Höheneinstellung Rechnung tragen zu können. Außerdem kann durch die höheneinstellbare Seitenwand der Tauwasserauffangschale eine zumindest für eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Kältegerätetypen geeignete Tauwasserauffangschale trotz der bedingt durch die unterschiedlichen Kältegerätetypen zum Einsatz kommenden Verdichter unterschiedlicher Bauhöhe gewählt werden. Gleichzeitig ist dabei sichergestellt, daß der Boden der Tauwasserauffangschale in wärmelei- tenden Kontakt an das Gehäuse dieser unterschiedlich hohen Verdichter zur Steigerung der Verdunstungsleistung des in der Tauwasserauffangschale sich sammelnden Schmelzwassers in wärmeleitenden Kontakt herangeführt werden kann. Durch diese Anpassungsmöglichkeit der Tauwasserauffangschale ergibt sich auch eine deutliche Reduzierung der Typenvielfalt der meist aus Kunststoffspritzguß gefertigten Maschinenraum- formteile, wodurch sich nicht nur die Logistik für diese Teile vereinfacht, sondern auch dieA condensate drip pan with a side wall that is infinitely variable or adjustable in stages opens up the possibility of being able to specifically accommodate different heights of different refrigerant compressors, for example due to different manufacturers or different performance classes, by simply adjusting the height. In addition, due to the height-adjustable side wall of the condensate drip tray, a condensate drip tray that is suitable at least for a large number of different types of refrigeration device can be selected, despite the compressors of different structural heights used due to the different types of refrigeration device. At the same time, it is ensured that the bottom of the condensate collecting pan is in heat-conducting contact with the housing of these compressors of different heights in order to increase them the evaporation rate of the melt water collecting in the condensate collecting tray can be brought into heat-conducting contact. This possibility of adapting the condensate drip tray also results in a significant reduction in the variety of types of the machine room molded parts, which are usually made of plastic injection molding, which not only simplifies the logistics for these parts, but also the
Fertigungskosten der Kältegerätetypen aufgrund des Vereinheitlichungspotentials bedingt durch Tauwasserauffangschale für sämtliche Gerätetypen spürbar sinken.The manufacturing costs of the refrigeration device types decrease noticeably due to the potential for standardization due to the condensate collecting pan for all device types.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorge- sehen, daß die in ihrer Höhe veränderbare Seitenwandung aus zumindest annähernd biegeschlaffen Werkstoff gebildet ist.According to a preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the side wall, which is variable in height, is formed from at least approximately flexible material.
Eine derartig ausgeführte höheneinstellbare Seitenwandung ist nicht nur besonders kostengünstig auch in bezug auf ihre wasserabstoßende Eigenschaft herstellbar, sondern besitzt zudem die Eigenschaft, die beim An- und Auslauf des Verdichters sich ergebenden Schwingbewegungen auffangen zu können, wodurch eine Scheuerbewegung zwischen dem Verdichtergehäuse und dem daran in wärmeleitenden Kontakt anliegenden Boden der Tauwasserauffangschale vermieden ist, da die Flexibilität der biegeschlaffen Seitenwandung die Verdichterschwingbewegungen abfangen und somit der Boden der Tauwasserauffangschale zumindest weitestgehend ruhig und positionsgenau am Gehäuse des Verdichters anliegt.Such a height-adjustable side wall is not only particularly inexpensive to manufacture in terms of its water-repellent property, but also has the property of being able to absorb the oscillating movements that occur when the compressor starts and stops, thereby causing a scouring movement between the compressor housing and the one in it Heat-conducting contact against the bottom of the condensation water collecting tray is avoided, since the flexibility of the slack side wall intercept the compressor oscillations and thus the bottom of the condensation water collecting tray lies at least largely quietly and in a positionally accurate manner on the housing of the compressor.
Besonders robust ist die in ihrer Höhe einstellbare Seitenwandung der Tauwasserauffangschale ausführbar, wenn nach einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Ge- genstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die in ihrer Höhe veränderbare Seitenwandung zumindest annähernd in Art eines Faltenbalgs ausgebildet ist. Durch die faltenbalg- artige Gestaltung der Seitenwandung ist zudem die Möglichkeit eröffnet, durch eine entsprechende Anzahl und eine geeignete Ausbildung der einzelnen Falten des Faltenbalgs den Boden der Tauwasserauffangschale unter einer zumindest weitestgehend durch die Faltenbalggestaltung hervorgerufenen Vorspannung gegen das Gehäuse des Verdichters zu drücken. Für den Fall, daß der Boden der Tauwasserauffangschale aus biegeschlaffem Material gebildet ist, wird durch die Vorspannkraft eine besonders intensive Anlage des Schalenbodens am Verdichtergehäuse zur Herstellung eines optimierten Wärmeübergangs vom Verdichter auf die Tauwasserauffangschale bewirkt. Außerdem lassen sich durch den eine Vorspannung ausübenden Faltenbalg in Verbindung mit einem biege- schlaffen Boden für die Tauwasserauffangschale Oberflächenunterschiede der einzelnen Verdichtertypen ausgleichen, wodurch zumindest in den überwiegenden Fällen eine optimale Anlage des biegeschlaffen Bodens am Gehäuse des Verdichters zur Herbeiführung einer intensiven Wärmeüberleitung auf das in der Tauwasserauffangschale gesammelte Schmelzwasser erreicht ist.The height of the side wall of the condensate collecting pan which can be adjusted is particularly robust if, according to a next advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the height of the side wall, which is variable, is at least approximately in the form of a bellows. The bellows-like design of the side wall also opens up the possibility of pressing the bottom of the condensate collecting pan against the housing of the compressor by means of an appropriate number and a suitable design of the individual folds of the bellows under an at least largely caused by the bellows design. In the event that the bottom of the condensate drip tray is formed from a slack material, the prestressing force causes the tray bottom to be in particularly intensive contact with the compressor housing to produce an optimized heat transfer from the compressor to the condensate drip tray. In addition, the bellows exerting a prestress in connection with a flexible limp soil for the condensate drip tray compensate for surface differences between the individual types of compressors, which at least in the majority of cases ensures that the slack bottom is optimally positioned on the casing of the compressor to bring about intensive heat transfer to the melt water collected in the condensate drip tray.
Entsprechend einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die in ihrer Höhe veränderbare Seitenwandung zumindest im Nahbereich des Behältnisbodens aus zumindest annähernd wasserabweisenden Werk- stoff gebildet ist.According to a next preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the height of the side wall, which can be changed, is formed at least in the vicinity of the bottom of the container from at least approximately water-repellent material.
Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, daß auch bei höherem Wasserstandspegel innerhalb der Tauwasserauffangschale eine Benetzung der höheneinstellbaren Seitenwand und damit ein Entweichen des gesammelten Schmelzwassers vermieden ist.This ensures that wetting of the height-adjustable side wall and thus escape of the collected melt water is avoided even at a higher water level within the condensate collecting pan.
Als besonders günstig im Hinblick auf die Schwingungsabsorption und die Wärmebeständigkeit, herrührend vom Verdichter, hat sich eine Tauwasserauffangschale erwiesen, wenn nach einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die in ihrer Höhe veränderbare Seitenwandung, der Behältnisboden und der Halteabschnitt einstückig aus Polymermaterial mit elastischen Eigenschaften gebildet ist. Eine aus derartigem Werkstoff gebildete Tauwasserauffangschale ist folglich besonders dauerbeständig. Außerdem trägt eine aus Polymermaterial mit elastischen Eigenschaften gefertigte Tauwasserauffangschale mit auf dem Verdichter aufliegendem Boden zudem zur Geräuschedämmung bei.A condensate drip pan has proven to be particularly favorable with regard to vibration absorption and heat resistance, originating from the compressor, if, according to a next advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the side wall, the container bottom and the holding section, which are variable in height, are made in one piece Polymer material with elastic properties is formed. A condensate drip tray formed from such a material is consequently particularly durable. In addition, a condensate drip tray made of polymer material with elastic properties and with the bottom resting on the compressor also contributes to noise insulation.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Behältnisboden zumindest abschnittsweise in wärmeleitendem Kontakt mit dem bodenseitigen Abschnitt des Verdichters angeordnet ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the container base is arranged at least in sections in thermally conductive contact with the bottom section of the compressor.
Hierdurch ergibt sich eine besonders intensive Wärmeüberleitung vom Gehäuse des Verdichters auf den Behältnisboden der Tauwasserauffangschale, wodurch die Verdunstung des darin aufgefangenen Schmelzwassers gefördert ist. Entsprechend einer letzten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Behältnisboden eine an den bodenseitigen Abschnitt des Verdichters zumindest annähernd angepaßte Formgebung besitzt.This results in a particularly intensive heat transfer from the housing of the compressor to the container bottom of the condensate collecting pan, which promotes the evaporation of the melt water collected therein. According to a last preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the container base has a shape that is at least approximately adapted to the base-side portion of the compressor.
Durch die Anpassung des Behältnisbodens an die ihm zugewandte Oberfläche des Verdichtergehäuses läßt sich auch ein aus verhältnismäßig biegesteifem Material geformter Boden für die Tauwasserauffangschale in wärmeleitendem Kontakt mit dem Gehäuse des Verdichters zur Förderung der Verdunstungsleistung des von der Tauwasserauffangschale aufgefangenen Schmelzwassers bringen. Durch die Möglichkeit einen Behältnis- boden aus vergleichsweise biegesteifem Material für die Tauwasserauffangschale zur Anwendung bringen zu können, ist die Herstellung der Tauwasserauffangschale aufgrund der Möglichkeit, den Behältnisboden als Kunststoffspritzgußteil auszubilden, deutlich erleichtert und somit die Herstellkosten der Tauwasserauffangschale erheblich zu senken. Eine mit einem vorgeformten Boden ausgestattete Tauwasserauffangschale läßt sich aus diesem Boden, einem zu ihrer Halterung dienenden Trägerteil und der in ihrer Höhe einstellbaren Seitenwandung aufbauen. Ein derartiger Boden läßt sich im Vergleich zu einem Boden aus biegeschlaffen Werkstoff gezielt aus Werkstoff mit größerer Materialstärke formen, wodurch dieser Boden auch besonders resistent gegen mechanische Einflüsse ist. Im Bereich des Faltenbalgs ist die Materialstärke zur Erreichung der gewünschten Flexibilität wieder geringer.By adapting the container base to the surface of the compressor housing facing it, a base made of relatively rigid material for the condensation water tray can also be brought into heat-conducting contact with the housing of the compressor to promote the evaporation performance of the melt water collected by the condensation water tray. Due to the possibility of being able to use a container base made of comparatively rigid material for the condensation water collecting tray, the manufacture of the condensation water collecting tray is made considerably easier due to the possibility of designing the container bottom as a plastic injection molded part and thus significantly reducing the manufacturing costs of the condensation water collecting tray. A condensate collecting tray equipped with a preformed base can be constructed from this base, a support part serving to hold it, and the height-adjustable side wall. In comparison to a floor made of flexible material, such a floor can be specifically formed from material with a greater material thickness, which makes this floor particularly resistant to mechanical influences. In the area of the bellows, the material thickness is again less in order to achieve the desired flexibility.

Gemäß Fig. 1 ist in vereinfachter schematischer Darstellung der untere Abschnitt eines Kältegerätes 10 mit einem wärmeisolierenden Gehäuse 11 gezeigt. Das wärmeisolierende Gehäuse 11 weist an seiner Rückseite 12 an seinem bodennahen Abschnitt, einen nischenartig ausgebildeten Maschinenraum 13 auf. Dieser dient zur Aufnahme eines Kälte- mittelverdichters 14 mit einem Gehäuse 15, welches aus einem Gehäuseoberteil 16 und einem Gehäuseunterteil 17 gebildet ist, wobei am Gehäuseunterteil 17 Tragelemente 18 mit elastischen Auflagen 19 festgesetzt sind anhand welcher der Kältemittelverdichter 14 schwingungsarm an einer Verdichtertragschiene 20 befestigt ist. Gegenüber der Verdichtertragschiene 20 sind an der Decke des Maschinenraums 13 Haltelemente 21 mit nuten- artigen Aufnahmen 22 festgesetzt, deren Nutenöffnungen einander zugewandt sind, wodurch Führungen mit senkrecht zur Rückseite vorgesehenen Führungsöffnungen gebildet sind. Die Halteelemente 21 dienen zur Halterung einer beispielsweise aus Kunststoffspritzguß erzeugten Tauwasserauffangschale 23, welche zum Zwecke ihrer Halterung mit einem im wesentlichen eigensteifen Halterahmen 24 ausgestattet ist. Dieser besitzt zwei seitliche, in die nutenartigen Aufnahmen 22 einbringbare und nach dem Einbringen darin geführt gehalterte seitliche Rahmenabschnitte 25. Diese weisen an ihrem der Öffnungsebene des Maschinenraums 13 zugewandten vorderen Endabschnitt Befestigungselemente 26 in Form von federnden Rasthaken auf, welchen Tiefenanschläge 27 entgegen der Einschubrichtung der Rahmenabschnitte 25 in die Aufnahmen 22 vorgeschaltet sind. Der Halterahmen 24 dient als Träger einer hinsichtlich ihrer Höhe veränderbaren Seitenwandung 28, welche im vorliegenden Fall zum Zwecke ihrer Höheneinstellung als Faltenbalg mit mehreren hintereinander geschalteten Falten 29 ausgebildet ist. An das vom Halterahmen 24 abgewandte freie Ende der in ihrer Höhe im vorliegenden Fall stufenlos veränderbaren, zumindest aus wasserabweisendem Werkstoff gebildeten Seitenwandung 28 ist einstückig ein ebenso aus wasserabweisendem Werkstoff gebildeter Schalenboden 30 mitangeformt. Dieser umgrenzt zusammen mit der Seitenwandung 28 einen Aufnahmeraum 31 für das von der Tauwasserauffangschale 23 aufzufangende Schmelzwasser und besitzt eine zumindest annähernd um sein Zentrum angeordnete kalottenähnliche Verformung 32, deren Verwölbung in den Aufnahmeraum 31 gerichtet ist. Die kalottenähn- liehe Verformung 32 besitzt dabei zumindest annähernd die Deckengeometrie des Gehäuseoberteils 16.1, the lower section of a refrigerator 10 with a heat-insulating housing 11 is shown in a simplified schematic representation. The heat-insulating housing 11 has a niche-like machine room 13 on its rear side 12 on its section near the floor. This is used to hold a refrigerant compressor 14 with a housing 15, which is formed from an upper housing part 16 and a lower housing part 17, supporting elements 18 with elastic supports 19 being fixed on the lower housing part 17, by means of which the refrigerant compressor 14 is fastened to a compressor mounting rail 20 with low vibration , Compared to the compressor mounting rail 20, retaining elements 21 are fixed to the ceiling of the machine room 13 with groove-like receptacles 22, the groove openings of which face one another, whereby guides are formed with guide openings provided perpendicular to the rear. The holding elements 21 serve to hold a condensate collecting tray 23, for example made of plastic injection molding, which is equipped with an essentially inherently rigid holding frame 24 for the purpose of holding it. This has two lateral frame sections 25 which can be inserted into the groove-like receptacles 22 and which are guided therein after being inserted. These have on their front end section facing the opening plane of the machine room 13 fastening elements 26 in the form of resilient latching hooks, which depth stops 27 counter to the insertion direction Frame sections 25 are connected upstream in the receptacles 22. The holding frame 24 serves as a carrier of a side wall 28 which is variable in height and which, in the present case, is designed as a bellows with a plurality of folds 29 connected in series for the purpose of adjusting its height. On the free end facing away from the holding frame 24 of the side wall 28, which in the present case is infinitely variable in height, at least made of water-repellent material, a shell base 30, which is also made of water-repellent material, is integrally formed. Together with the side wall 28, this delimits a receiving space 31 for the melt water to be collected by the condensate collecting pan 23 and has a dome-like deformation 32, which is arranged at least approximately around its center and whose curvature is directed into the receiving space 31. The dome-like deformation 32 has at least approximately the ceiling geometry of upper housing part 16.
Wie insbesondere Fig. 1 zeigt, wird die Tauwasserauffangschale 23 zum Zwecke ihrer Halterung im Maschinenraum 13 mit den seitlichen Rahmenabschnitten 25 ihres Halterahmens 24 in die Aufnahmen 22 eingeführt, wobei die positionsrichtige Endlage des Halterahmens 24 durch die an den freien Enden der Halteelemente 21 anschlagenden Tiefenanschläge 27 markiert ist. Im positionsrichtigen Einbauzustand rasten die Befestigungselemente 26 an den seitlichen Rahmenabschnitten 25 in nicht dargestellte Halte- aufnahmen an den Halteelementen 21 lösbar ein. Die Montage der Tauwasserauffangschale 23 kann durch ihre in der Höhe veränderbare Seitenwandung 28 bei bereits montiertem Kältemittelverdichter 14 stattfinden, da der Schalenboden 30 durch die im vorliegenden Fall stufenlos bezüglich ihrer veränderbare Seitenwand 28 bis nahe an das der Verdichtertragschiene 20 zugewandte freie Ende der Halteelemente 21 zum Zwecke der Montage der Tauwasserauffangschale 23 im Maschinenraum 13 heranführbar ist. NachAs shown in FIG. 1 in particular, the condensate collecting pan 23 is inserted into the receptacles 22 with the lateral frame sections 25 of its holding frame 24 for the purpose of its holding in the machine room 13, the correct position of the holding frame 24 being determined by the depth stops striking the free ends of the holding elements 21 27 is marked. In the correct installation position, the fastening elements 26 on the side frame sections 25 releasably engage in holding receptacles (not shown) on the holding elements 21. The assembly of the condensate drip tray 23 can take place through its height-adjustable side wall 28 with a refrigerant compressor 14 already installed, since the tray bottom 30, in the present case, with its changeable side wall 28 steplessly up to the free end of the holding elements 21 facing the compressor support rail 20 Purposes of mounting the condensate collecting pan 23 in the machine room 13 can be brought up. To
Abschluß der Verdichtermontage wird der Schalenboden 30 mit Hilfe des als in der Höhe einstellbare Seitenwandung 28 dienenden und als Druckfeder wirkenden Faltenbalgs und des Eigengewichts des Schalenbodens gegen die Decke des Gehäuseoberteils 16 gedrückt, wodurch die kalottenähnliche Verformung 32 in wärmeleitenden Kontakt an der im Schalenboden 30 zugewandten Außenseite des Gehäuseoberteils 16 anliegt. Durch die geschaffene Wärmeüberleitung des Gehäuseoberteils 16 auf den Schalenboden 30 der Tauwasserauffangschale 23 wird das sich innerhalb des Auffangraumes 31 sammelnde Schmelzwasser deutlich rascher verdunstet.Completion of the compressor assembly, the shell base 30 is pressed against the ceiling of the upper housing part 16 with the aid of the bellows serving as a height-adjustable side wall 28 and acting as a compression spring and the dead weight of the shell base, whereby the dome-like deformation 32 in heat-conducting contact on the side facing the shell base 30 Outside of the upper housing part 16 abuts. As a result of the heat transfer of the upper housing part 16 to the shell bottom 30 of the condensate collecting pan 23, the melt water that collects within the collecting chamber 31 evaporates significantly more quickly.
Anstelle des vorgeformten, zumindest annähernd an die Decke des Gehäuseoberteils 16 angepaßten zumindest annähernd biegesteifen Schalenbodens 30 wäre auch ein biegeschlaffer Schalenboden denkbar, welcher sich aufgrund der durch den Faltenbalg ausgeübten Vorspannkräfte zumindest annähernd selbsttätig an die Außenseite des Gehäuseoberteils 16 in wärmeleitenden Kontakt anlegt. Instead of the preformed, at least approximately rigid shell bottom 30, which is at least approximately adapted to the ceiling of the upper housing part 16, a limp shell bottom would also be conceivable which, due to the prestressing forces exerted by the bellows, at least approximately automatically contacts the outside of the upper housing part 16 in heat-conducting contact.
