Abstract

There is disclosed a refrigeration unit having a box-like compartment surrounded by insulation material. The ends of the box-like compartment and the top and bottom thereof are composed of massive plates having a plurality of protuberances extending through the insulation and terminating in flat faces. Thermoelectric elements are in heat exchange with the flat faces and with external thermal sinks or radiating devices. The unit has upstanding frame members which form shallow compartments which house the radiating devices and are covered by grill work. One of the shallow compartments houses the door or closure to the refrigerating compartment. The frame members extend downwardly forming legs. The insulation has a skin of dense material having contact points extending from electrical wires in the insulation to the surface thereof and from which contact points are connected to the thermoelectric elements. A resilient gasket surrounds each thermoelectric element and extends over the contact points thereby providing a completely water-tight structure.
