1. An ice-lined cold storage device comprising:
an insulated body;
a cooling space within the insulated body;
a cold storage compartment within the cooling space arranged at an interior of the ice-lined cold storage device;
an ice-lining configured to absorb heat from the interior of the cold-storage device;
a cooling circuit configured, when in operation, to remove heat from the ice-lining;
an inner liner arranged between the cold storage compartment and the ice-lining, in which the inner liner circumscribes the cold storage compartment and defines a substantially continuous perimeter of the cold storage compartment, and in which the inner liner comprises
a heat conducting metal sheet having a first major surface which faces towards the cold storage compartment and a second major surface which faces towards the ice-lining; and
a thermally insulating material which separates the cold storage compartment from the ice-lining and which is arranged between the heat conducting sheet and the ice-lining; and in which
an electrical heating element is arranged between the heat conducting sheet of the inner liner and the thermal insulating material of the inner liner,
wherein the electrical heating element is an electrical heating wire, and
wherein the electrical heating element extends around at least 70% of a perimeter of the inner liner.
