Refrigeration apparatus comprising a cold storage compartment, accessible from the outside, and provided internally with a sealed container adapted to accommodate a flexible and compressible receptacle holding a beverage; there are provided pneumatic or air-compression means to generate a selectively controllable pneumatic pressure inside said container, but outside said flexible receptacle, and said sealed container is capable of being opened from the outside by means of a closure applied on a face thereof, wherein said closure is provided with a through-aperture, through which there extends a drawing-off conduit. Whenever a need arises for beverage to be drawn off the receptacle, a pressure increase is triggered inside the sealed container, and said pressure increase will act upon the walls of the internal receptacle so that the latter is caused to collapse and reduce its volume, thereby causing the beverage to be ejected therefrom and, therefore, drawn off.

1. Refrigeration apparatus comprising: a cold storage compartment (1), accessible from the outside through a door (2), and provided internally with a sealed container (3) adapted to accommodate a flexible and compressible receptacle (4) suitable to contain a beverage,pneumatic or air compression means (6) to generate a selectively controllable pressure between said container (3) and said receptacle (4), in order to compress the receptacle (4), thus causing the beverage to draw off,refrigerating means to pull down the temperature inside said cold storage compartment, comprising a compressor (21) and an evaporator (23),a control panel to control the temperature-related and pressure-related operation of said refrigeration apparatus from the outside,said pneumatic means, said refrigerating means and said control panel being arranged on a side portion (22) of said refrigeration apparatus,said evaporator (23) being arranged vertically along a wall of said cold storage compartment,said cold storage compartment being provided internally with a recessed portion (20) extending in its lower portion, and sideways relative to said compartment,said compressor (21) being arranged in said recessed portion (20),said evaporator (23) being positioned above said recessed portion (20). 2. Refrigeration apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said side portion extends to substantially cover the entire height of an outer casing of said refrigeration apparatus. 3. Refrigeration apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein on the upper surface of said recessed portion there are provided means (27) adapted to collect condensation water dripping from said evaporator. 4. Refrigeration apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said pneumatic means comprise an air intake mouth (26), in which said intake mouth is located inside said cold storage compartment (1), and an appropriate conduit (25) connecting said mouth (26) to said pneumatic means. 5. Refrigeration apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said pneumatic means comprise a three-way valve (40), of which a first way (41) is connectable with the inside ambient of said cold storage compartment, a second way (42) is connectable with said pneumatic means, and a third way (43) is connectable with the internal volume of said sealed container (3). 6. Refrigeration apparatus according to claim 3, wherein a three-way valve (40) is mechanically actuatable into two switching states thereof, depending on the position taken by said sealed container (3) inside said cold storage compartment, wherein in a first such switching state said third way (43) is connected to said second way (42), and wherein in a second such switching state said first way (41) is connected to said third way (43). 7. Refrigeration apparatus according to claim 4, wherein a three-way valve (40) is provided with an actuating arm (45) adapted to be actuated by its entering into contact with/separating from a specific zone (46) of a back wall of said cold storage compartment (1).
