ABSTRACT:
A sublimation refrigerator employs a thermally insulated outer housing having a pivotable top. A smaller insulated dry ice chamber is adapted to be supported centrally within the container as is a separate insulated freezer compartment having a removable top. A first set of serpentine cooling coils are supported in the interior side walls of the main insulated container and in the side walls of the freezer compartment. One end of each of these coils connects to the dry ice chamber. A bubble type visual flow indicator having a transparent window is supported on the exterior of the main container. The output ends of both the freezer coil and the cooler coil connect to the visual indicator through manually adjustable flow control valves. The output of the visual indicator vents to atmosphere. In normal use the valve at the output of the freezer coil is opened allowing free flow of gas sublimating from the dry ice through the freezer coil so that a very low temperature is attained within the freezer. The valve at the output of the cooler coil is then used to control the flow to attain a desired cooler temperature and the freezer valve may be temporarily closed allowing the visual indicator to be used for adjustment of the cooler coil. Since both freezer and cooler coils are fed simultaneously control of each area is by the valves, and closing either one will allow all gases to go through a desired area.
