Abstract (en)

A refrigeration apparatus (10) has a cool compartment (12) for receiving items to be cooled. The refrigeration apparatus (10) has a vapor compression cycle arrangement. The vapor compression cycle arrangement has an evaporator (16) in which a refrigerant vaporises in use to absorb heat, and a condenser in which the refrigerant condenses in use to pass heat from the refrigerant to the environment of the refrigeration apparatus. The refrigeration apparatus (10) has a heat transfer device (20). The heat transfer device (20) is movable from a first position, which is adjacent the cool compartment (12) to enable heat to be removed from the cool compartment (12), to a second position, which is adjacent the evaporator (16) to enable heat to be removed from the heat transfer device (20) so as to cool the heat transfer device (20).
