Refrigeration apparatus comprising a housing means enclosing at least one refrigeratable compartment means, and a means for generating a flow of chilled air; a first manifold means for receiving the flow of chilled air from the chilled air generating means; a first conduit means for directing a portion of the chilled air from the first manifold means to one or more refrigeratable compartments; a second conduit means for receiving air in one or more refrigeratable compartments; and a second manifold means for receiving the flow of air from the second conduit means and for returning air to the chilled air generating means, and wherein one or more of said refrigeratable compartments is slidably mounted in said housing means, and effective to provide for slidable movement in the housing means from a closed position in which all of said compartment is enclosed by said housing means to an open position in which at least a portion of said compartment is not enclosed by said housing means; and wherein said first conduit means is equipped with a first electronically actuated valve means effective to cut-off or restrict to a portion thereof chilled air flow from the first manifold means, and said second conduit means is equipped with a second electronically actuated valve means to cut-off or restrict to a portion thereof air flow from the compartment to the second manifold means, when the compartment is in an open or partially open position; and wherein said first and second electronically actuated valve means are effective to restore or at least restore a portion thereof chilled air flow to the compartment from the first manifold means and air flow from the compartment to the second manifold means when the compartment is in a closed or partially closed position.
