ABSTRACT:
A refrigeration apparatus for cooling containers and food in the microgravity conditions of outer space comprising a cooler container compartment having a container cold plate therein which is contoured to the shape of sidewall portions of the cans to be cooled. The container cold plate is coated with a complient heat transfer medium such as metal-filled silicone rubber. When the lid of the cooler is closed, the containers are firmly engaged by the complient material, forming a good conductive heat transfer relationship. Extending from the container cold plate is a refrigerated food cold plate. A thermoelectric generator is disposed in a separate cabinet connected to one end of the cooler and includes thermoelectric elements and a heat sink operatively associated with both cold plates within the cooler. A freezer compartment is provided adjacent the container and food cooler compartment. A freezer cold plate thereon is connected to an additional thermoelectric generator.
