Abstract:
A sealed unit of refrigerant fluid for a refrigeration appliance, comprising component parts defined by a hermetic compressor (1), a condenser (3), an evaporator (2) and conducting tubes (4) of refrigerant fluid, connecting the hermetic compressor (1) to the condenser (3), the latter to the evaporator (2) by means of an expanding device, and connecting the evaporator (2) to the hermetic compressor (1), at least one of the parts consisting of the condenser (3) and the evaporator (2) being defined as a prismatic body which is at least partially tubular, said component parts of the sealed unit being relatively displaced from an inoperative position of transportation, in which the hermetic compressor (1) and the conducting tubes (4) remain contained within a contour defined by the contour of at least one of the parts defined by the condenser (3) and the evaporator (2), to a mounting operative position in a refrigeration appliance, in which the evaporator (2) and part of the extension of the conducting tubes (4) connecting the latter to the hermetic compressor (1) and to the condenser (3) are displaced to a position external to the condenser contour.
