Reversible refrigerator/freezer system

摘要

A refrigerator system having a refrigerating mechanism packaged in a separate case from the refrigerated cabinet and adapted to be attached to either side of the refrigerated cabinet. The refrigerated cabinet has discharge and return openings on each of opposite sides. The refrigerating mechanism has matching discharge and return openings on each of opposite sides. The discharge and return openings on the unattached side of the refrigerating mechanism and refrigerated cabinet are covered. The refrigerating mechanism has an evaporator blower which draws warm air through the return opening in the attached refrigerated cabinet, then through a cooling evaporator coil to propel the cooled air into a blower plenum, and then out a discharge outlet of the blower plenum directly into the matching discharge opening in the adjacent refrigerated cabinet. A removable counter top matches and is attached to the top of the refrigerated cabinet, with its top surface in the same plane as the top surface of the refrigerating mechanism. The refrigerating mechanism also has a compressor and condenser cooling system combined with a system for removing water condensed on the evaporator coil of the refrigerating mechanism.
