Abstract

A laboratory refrigerator, in particular a refrigerated incubator, in which an inner basin surrounding the useful storage volume is surrounded by an outer basin. The air in the useful storage volume is circulated via a chamber formed between the inner basin and the outer basin and re-enters the useful storage volume via apertures in the side walls of the inner basin. Heating elements are provided in the chamber for controlling the temperature of the circulating air and labyrinthine plate evaporators are provided on the outside of the side walls of the outer basin.
