Abstract:
A refrigeration appliance includes an insulated cabinet having a side wall and a machine compartment positioned adjacent the side wall. An aperture is provided through the first side wall to allow air to flow into the machine compartment. An air vent is provided at the exterior surface of the side wall so as to cover the aperture. The air vent having a first set of louvers. A sound barrier is provided at the interior surface of the side wall at the aperture. The sound barrier has a second set of louvers, where the second set of louvers are positioned with respect to the first set of louvers such that there is no mechanical access to components in the machine compartment through the air vent, and such that sounds from within the machine compartment are dampened while still allowing air to flow through the air vent.

Claim (Index 9):
A refrigeration appliance comprising:\n an insulated cabinet in which at least one refrigerated storage compartment and a machine compartment are provided, said insulated cabinet including at least a first side wall, a second side wall and a back wall disposed between said first and second side walls, said first side wall including an exterior surface and an interior surface, said machine compartment being positioned adjacent said first side wall; an aperture provided through said first side wall to allow air to flow from outside said insulated cabinet into said machine compartment; an air vent provided at said exterior surface of said first side wall so as to cover said aperture, wherein said air vent has a set of louvers arranged such that air may flow therebetween; and a sound barrier provided at said interior surface of said first side wall at said aperture, said sound barrier having a dome that is concave towards said machine compartment and convex towards said air vent, said sound barrier arranged such that sounds from within said machine compartment are dampened to reduce resulting sound levels outside said air vent while still allowing air to flow through said air vent and said sound barrier from outside said insulated cabinet into said machine compartment, wherein said air vent and said sound barrier interlock with one another.
