Introduced: September 1968

Description

F25D encompasses refrigerated storage equipment and structures for maintaining low temperatures in commercial and domestic applications. This subclass covers refrigerators, freezers, cold storage rooms, ice-boxes, and general-purpose cooling or freezing apparatus that do not fall under more specialized refrigeration classifications. The classification includes insulated cabinets, walk-in cold rooms, defrosting systems, and internal components such as shelving and temperature controls specific to storage vessels. F25D excludes refrigeration cycles and compressor systems (covered under F25B) and industrial ice manufacture (covered under F25C).
