A cooling apparatus body ( 11 ), for example, for a refrigerator ( 10 ), has a first compartment ( 15 ) intended for storage of items at atmospheric pressure and a second compartment ( 16 ) for storage of items at subatmospheric pressure, the two compartments being surrounded by surrounds formed by a thermal insulation element ( 13 ). The second compartment ( 16 ) is lined within the associated surround by a separately constructed hermetic liner ( 23 ) bonded to that surround. The liner ( 23 ) can be an integrally formed box-shaped component produced by, for example, injection moulding or blow moulding from plastics material. The resistance of the liner ( 23 ) to the internal load of subatmospheric pressure is provided primarily by the thermal insulation lining surround and the bond therewith, so that the liner, whilst providing a hermetic barrier relative to the surround, can be of inexpensive lightweight construction. |
