a refrigerated item of furniture Explanation: One would not refer to a furniture item with refrigeration capabilities as "air-conditioned" in English. Rather, you would need to mention its specific function, that is, refrigeration. I get a number of hits for "refrigerated furniture," including a company called itself that.

temperature controlled (furniture//cabinet) Explanation: Hola, If you talk about wines...they are temperature and humidity controlled cabinets. Cheers, JL -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-28 15:03:04 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The pictures: http://www.wine-cabinets-uk.co.uk/wine-storage-duo120-e.htm http://www.chambrair.de/winest.html IF you are controlling both the AH (ambient humidity) and the temperature, you are then talking about \'climate-controlled cabinets\' or \'controlled atmosphere cabinets\'. Ciao from a wine lover, JL -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-28 15:06:26 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.wineloverspage.com/oxford/winerack.shtml |

refrigerated unit Explanation: How about "refrigerated unit"? I imagine that reference is made to the wine fridge in this more general way :-) |
