Abstract
A noiseless refrigerator is provided for use in single room sleeping quarters. The refrigerator has a housing having a freezing compartment, a cooling compartment, a storage compartment and a vented compartment. The freezing compartment has a bottom having a plurality of recesses formed therein for removably receiving a plurality of ice cube trays and a back side affixed to an 'L' shaped plate support member attached to the inside of a refrigerator wall. The 'L' shaped plate freezer compartment support member is in thermal contact with a plurality of blocks of high thermal conductivity material passing through the refrigerator walls to the vented compartment. A plurality of thermoelectric heat pumps are mounted in the vented compartment and have their hot plates attached to a heat sink for ventilation. The cold plates of the plurality of heat pumps are affixed to the blocks of high thermal conductivity material to substantially reduce the temperature of the ice cube trays in the freezer compartment to freeze ice cubes.
