Abstract

A bath container for cooling a liquid contained therein for use in refrigeration equipment includes a jacket bounding a space for the liquid which comprises a side wall and a bottom wall. The side wall of the jacket is formed of two individual walls spaced from one another to form a hollow chamber therebetween which chamber is connected to a refrigerant feeding member and to a refrigerant discharging member whereby the jacket forming the hollow chamber and adapted to pass the refrigerant therethrough functions as an evaporator. A surface heating element including a heating wire inserted into a relatively thick insulating packing is mounted on the surface of the bottom side to supply heat to the working liquid contained in the bath container.
