(57) The invention relatesto a device for draining waterfrom a refrigerating apparatus
flowing from the evaporator thereof during the defrosting phase. A device of this
type essentially comprises a passage extending through a wall of the apparatus and
communicating with a collecting receptacle for evaporating of the collected water.
In known devices of this type, the passage tends to become obstructed by food particles,
dust and the like carried in the drained water, necessitating the passage to be regularly
manually cleaned by the user.
According to the invention the passage has the approximate configuration of a venturi
nozzle, resulting in an air flow passing therethrough in opposite directions as the
door of the refrigerating apparatus is opened and closed, whereby the passage is reliably
kept free of obstructions.
