WARM/COLD STORAGE DEVICE AND COLD STORAGE CHAMBER DRYING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inhibit humidity rising in a cold storage chamber after use and to dry cooling unit and the inside of cold air duct in addition to the inside of cold storage chamber by communicating warm storage chamber with cold storage chamber, driving heater in warm storage chamber side and only driving cooling air blowing means at cold storage chamber side in the state where refrigerating unit is stopped. SOLUTION: Tip ends of spacer pieces 46 are intruded to lower sides of partition bodies 36 of opposing unit partition walls 33 by closing door 18 by sucking retaining unit 48 to back surface of door 18 to form gap S with lower unit partition wall 33. The warm storage chamber 16 and cold storage chamber 17 are communicated. A warm storage unit 30 and heating fan 31 are driven at warm storage chamber 16 side and compressor 23 is stopped and cooling fan 26 is only driven at cold storage chamber 17 side. The hot insulation state is maintained in warm storage chamber 16 and the heat is transmitted from gap S to cold storage chamber 17 side to warm air in cold storage chamber 17. The warm air generates circulation flow passing through cooling unit chamber 22, inside of ducts and a group of ventilation ports 21 by cooling fan 26. The inside of cold storage chamber 17, the inside of cooling unit chamber 22 and the inside of ducts 20 are dried by continuing drying operation for predetermined time. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
