A refrigerating air conditioning unit (1) comprises: • a chamber (3) configured to hold a volume of ice; • a refrigeration means (2), e.g. a vapour-compression refrigeration system, configured to freeze water within the chamber (3); • a chamber passage (4) configured to allow atmospheric air to pass therethrough, the passage (4) and chamber (3) being at least partly contiguous; and • an air circulating means (5), e.g. a fan, configured to either drive and/or draw air from the atmosphere through the chamber passage (4); • wherein the refrigerating air conditioning unit (1) is configured such that the volume of the chamber (3) is variable, e.g. by a user, to alter the volume of ice formable in the chamber (3). |
