摘要： A refrigeration appliance includes: (i) a vacuum-insulated structure defining a refrigerable compartment, the vacuum-insulated structure comprising a pass-through therethrough providing access from an external environment to the refrigerable compartment; (ii) an evaporator disposed within the refrigerable compartment, the evaporator configured to lower or maintain a temperature of the refrigerable compartment below ambient temperature; (iii) a refrigerant line that extends through the pass-through and into the refrigerable compartment, the refrigerant line in fluid communication with the evaporator; (iv) a water line extending through the pass-through and into the refrigerable compartment; and (v) a housing that at least partially houses the evaporator within the refrigerable compartment, the housing comprising a wall proximate the pass-through that separates the water line from the refrigerant line where the water line and the refrigerant line extend from the pass-through and into the refrigerable compartment.

摘要： A cooling appliance (10) includes a body (12) defining a vacuum-insulated chamber (14A, 14B). A cooling device (16A, 16B) is configured to regulate a temperature in the vacuum-insulated chamber (14A, 14B). A partition (17) is adjacent to the vacuum-insulated chamber (14A, 14B) and a compartment (18) is spaced from the vacuum-insulated chamber (14A, 14B) by the partition (17). A compressor (20) and a condenser (22) are located in the compartment (18) and at least one coolant tube (24A, 24B) is in fluid communication with the compressor (20), the condenser (22), and the cooling device (16A, 16B). A conduit (26) provides power to and extends between the compressor (20) and the condenser (22). A shroud bracket (28) is located between the compressor (20) and the condenser (22) and defines at least one slot (30) that retains the at least one coolant tube (24A, 24B). A drainage routing tube (31A, 31B) extends from the cooling device (16A, 16B) to a drain tube mount (34) and the drain tube mount (34) includes a retention feature (36) connected to a drainage receptacle (56).
