International ClassF25B 021/02AbstractA chiller for fresh fruit and other perishable food products is cooled with a thermoelectric device and includes a cool air recirculating system that minimizes air flow path lengths and provides uniform cool air distribution throughout a fruit container removably supported above the thermoelectric module. The cooling air flow duct system is formed in part by the bottom wall of the container, thereby enhancing direct cooling air flow contact in minimizing the lengths of the flow paths.Field of SearchInterior of enclosure cooled; e.g., refrigeratorThermoelectric; e.g., peltier effect Heat pump, selective heating and cooling Portable, having transporting feature; e.g., handle Cooled by means other than ice (e.g., mechanical, electrical, absorption, cryogenic, etc.) Cooled serving dish Including specific circuitry or heat exchanger material PORTABLE, COMMODITY-CONTAINING | |
