Summary:The invention concerns a storage unit that is adapted to be located in a refrigeration appliance. The storage unit includes a holding compartment for holding articles the temperature of which is to be controlled. The holding compartment is adapted to be placed in air flow communication with a source of cold air whereby the cold air may be delivered to the holding compartment. An air-flow passageway for recirculating air discharged from the holding compartment back to the holding compartment is provided along with a mixing area where the cold air and the recirculated air may be mixed in selected quantities. A user interface providing for the selection of a temperature- control procedure from a group of available temperature-control procedures for application to the interior of the holding compartment is included. The storage unit can include a controller for controlling the implementation of the temperature-control procedure selected by the user. La invenci?n se refiere a una unidad de almacenamiento (10) que est? adaptada para ser ubicada en un aparato de refrigeraci?n; la unidad de almacenamiento incluye un compartimiento de sujeci?n (20) sostener art?culos, cuya temperatura va a ser controlada; el compartimiento de sujeci?n est? adaptado para ser colocado en comunicaci?n de flujo de aire con una fuente de aire fr?o en donde el aire fr?o puede ser suministrado al compartimiento de sujeci?n; un paso de flujo de aire (49) para recircular aire descargado desde el compartimiento de sujeci?n de regreso al compartimiento de sujeci?n se proporciona junto con un ?rea de mezclado (32), donde el aire fr?o y el aire recirculado pueden ser mezclados en cantidades seleccionadas; se incluye una interfaz de usuario (70) que permite la selecci?n de un procedimiento de control de temperatura a partir de un grupo de procedimientos de control de temperatura disponibles para aplicaci?n al interior (22) del compartimiento de sujeci?n; la unidad de almacenamiento puede incluir un controlador para controlar la ejecuci?n del procedimiento de control de temperatura seleccionado por el usuario.
