Abstract: A vacuum insulated cabinet structure includes panels having sheet metal outer side walls and polymer inner side walls. The polymer inner side walls are heat-sealed to a layer of polymer material laminated to a flat sheet metal blank to form vacuum cavities. The blank is then bent along fold lines to form a cabinet structure.

Abstract: A connection system includes a feature module that supplies various functionalities, a portable countertop stand having an upright section that selectively receives the feature module and an umbilical connecting the portable stand to an external appliance to deliver utilities to the portable countertop stand. A utility port selectively delivers at least one utility to the feature module when engaged with the upright section. A utility receiver removably engages the utility port by hand without the use of tools and selectively receives a predetermined set of utilities when the feature module engages the upright surface. A connection interface detects when the feature module is engaged with the upright section and the predetermined utility set required by the engaged feature module. After the feature module is engaged, the connection interface prompts the utility port to release the predetermined utility set to the feature module.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a vacuum insulated cabinet structure having side walls that are formed from a tube that has been folded/deformed into a structure having an “O” shape with vertically enlarged front and rear openings. The interior of the tube may be filled with silica powder or other filler, and a vacuum is formed within the tube. An insulated rear panel may be utilized to close off the rear opening of the vacuum insulated cabinet structure.

Abstract: A method of operating a refrigeration appliance, comprising the steps: operating a compressor and a valve system to cause refrigerant to flow through a refrigerant circuit to chill an evaporator during a compressor ON-cycle; operating the valve system to direct the refrigerant through a secondary pressure reducing device in response to the initiation of the compressor ON-cycle for a duration that lasts until a nominal operation condition has been reached; operating the valve system during the compressor ON-cycle to direct the refrigerant through a primary pressure reducing device in response to the nominal operation condition; and transferring thermal energy from the primary pressure reducing device to a suction line heat exchanger.
