Patent ID: 7237598

Claim:
A refrigerating device for a water station, comprising: a cold storage cabinet; a cold water container disposed within the cold storage cabinet, and including means for connection to a water supply; a refrigerating system for refrigerating the cold storage cabinet and cold water container; and a water storage pail located externally of the cold storage cabinet and connected to the cold water container by means of a pipeline; wherein the refrigerating system comprises a compressor located externally to and under the cold storage cabinet, a condenser, a first evaporator disposed in the cold storage cabinet, capillary tubes and refrigerating pipelines, and wherein the refrigerating system comprises means for simultaneously cooling the cold storage cabinet and cold water container to form a chilling unit in the cold storage cabinet, the refrigerating device further comprising a mated second evaporator located outside the cold storage cabinet, and a hot liner comprising a heating system external to the cold storage cabinet and remote from the cold water container of the water station, such that the refrigerating system and the heating system do not interfere with each other, whereby the cold water container is maintained at a lower temperature as compared with a cold water container located externally to the cold storage cabinet, and the cold storage cabinet and the cold water container influence and react to each other so to increase refrigerating speed, and counteract temperature fluctuation.
