REFRIGERATION BEAM WITH A COMPRESSIBLE MEMBER AND REFRIGERATION APPARATUS INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a refrigeration beam for use with a refrigeration apparatus. The refrigeration beam includes an outer casing (2) that contains a phase change material and includes arcuate intermediate sections (2c) that extend inwards to reduce the amount of space therebetween. A compressible strip (10) is located at a centre of the refrigeration beam to accommodate any expansion of the phase change material and prevent damage to the outer casing (2).
