Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2420769A2] An appliance system including an appliance (10) and a turbo-chilling chamber (36) is provided. The turbo-chilling chamber has a main body portion that typically includes: a rigid distal wall (38) surrounding a foodstuff receiving space that accommodates variously sized foodstuffs (beverage containers); a rigid inner wall (174) having at least one aperture along the length thereof and surrounding the foodstuff when the foodstuff is within the foodstuff receiving space; and a rigid intermediate wall (172) between the rigid inner wall and the rigid distal wall that defines a coolant chamber between the rigid distal wall and the rigid intermediate wall and also defines an air cooling channel between the rigid intermediate wall and the rigid inner wall. A fan (170) moves air through the air cooling channel and the at least one aperture and past the foodstuff. A method of turbo-chilling a foodstuff/beverage container/beverage within the turbo-chilling chamber is also provided.
