A method for preventing condensation on a surface of a domestic refrigeration device and a corresponding domestic refrigeration device having a refrigerated chamber, a refrigerant line, and a refrigerant circulation system structured to transfer heat energy from the refrigerated chamber into the refrigerant circulation system via the refrigerant line. The refrigerant line may include a heat-emitting section in heat-conducting contact with a trim strip of the refrigeration device running below the refrigerated chamber.

The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the heat-emitting section of the refrigerant line comprises a part of a pipe loop of a high-pressure side of the refrigerant circulation system. 4. The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the refrigerant circulation system includes a refrigerant compressor and a condenser. 5. The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a holder structured to hold the heat-emitting section of the refrigerant line adjacent to the rear side of the trim strip. 6. The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the holder comprises a first retainer structured to connect the holder to the rear side of the trim strip and the holder comprises a second retainer structured to retain the heat-emitting section of the refrigerant line adjacent to the rear side of the trim strip. 7. The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first retainer comprises a snap-in element structured to fasten the holder to a bent sheet metal section of the trim strip. 8. The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the second retainer comprises at least one locking clip structured to retain the heat-emitting section of the refrigerant line in a pincer-like manner. 9. The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 8, wherein each of the at least one locking clip comprises two opposite latching tongues, each of the two opposite latching tongues having a clamping surface structured to be positioned against opposite sides of the heat-emitting section of the refrigerant line, and each of the two opposite latching tongues having a thrust bevel to allow the latching tongues to widen during insertion of the heat-emitting section of the refrigerant line into a corresponding one of the at least one locking clip. 10. The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the total length of the heat-emitting section is less than the total length of the trim strip. 11. The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the length of the heat-emitting section is between 25% and 50% of the total length of the trim strip. 12. The domestic refrigeration device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the trim strip comprises metal. 13. A method for preventing condensation on a surface of a domestic refrigeration device, the method comprising: circulating refrigerant through a refrigerant circulation system to remove heat from a refrigerated chamber with an evaporator, the refrigerant circulation system including a refrigerant line in fluid communication with the evaporator, and said refrigerated chamber defined at least in part by a refrigerated chamber body and a door when the door is in a closed position; anddissipating heat energy in the refrigerant from a heat-emitting section of the refrigerant line to a rear side of a trim strip,wherein the heat-emitting section of the refrigerant line is adjacent the rear side of the trim strip, the rear side of the trim strip being a side of the trim strip that is opposite a door seal of the door, the door seal contacting the trim strip when the door is in the closed position, andwherein the heat-emitting section is positioned entirely below the refrigerated chamber. 14. The method as claimed in claim 13, further comprising dissipating heat energy from the heat-emitting section to a central portion of the rear side of the trim strip, wherein the length of said central portion is less than the total length of said trim strip. 15. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the heat-emitting section of the refrigerant line comprises a part of a pipe loop of a high-pressure side of the refrigerant circulation system. 16. The method as claimed in claim 13, further comprising: compressing and driving the refrigerant through the refrigerant circulation system with a refrigerant compressor; anddissipating heat energy from the refrigerant a condenser. 17. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the length of the heat-emitting section is less than the total length of the trim strip. 18. The method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the length of the heat-emitting section is between 25% and 50% of the total length of the trim strip. 19.
