  • this working position II of the solenoid valve 18 becomes the refrigerant flow generated by the refrigerant compressor 16 to its pressure reduction on the evaporator specific Operating pressure of the evaporator 26, the throttle tube 20 supplied, from where it via the injection point, not shown the evaporator 26 in the refrigerant channel assembly 27 overflowed.
  • the working position II of the solenoid valve 18 are both Evaporator 21 and 26 supplied with liquid refrigerant, so that the freezers 12 and 13 their intended Reach operating temperature.
  • the liquid refrigerant is in about evenly in the evaporator system, consisting of the Evaporator 21 and the evaporator 26, distributed.
  • Solenoid valve 18 by the manual operation of a not shown electrical switch for the purpose of rapid Einprriervorganges in the freezer compartment 12 in its working position I switched simultaneously with the switching process of the solenoid valve 18, the shut-off valve 25 in his Locking operation passes, that is located in the evaporator 26 liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerant compressor 16 decoupled.
  • the refrigerant compressor 16 the in terms of its funding volume on the supply both evaporators 21 and 26 with liquid refrigerant is designed, is virtually operated underfilled. This Expresses itself in a strong reduction of the evaporation pressure for the refrigerant and thus a significant reduction the evaporation temperature, which additionally by the lower heat input due to the lower useful content the freezer compartment 12 is favorably influenced.
  • the im Refrigerant circuit remaining liquid refrigerant is from the refrigerant compressor 16 via the solenoid valve in its Working position I fed to the throttle tube 19, from where it via the injection point, not shown, of the evaporator 21, which alone in the refrigeration cycle with the compressor 16 is the refrigerant Kanalanordnugn 22 of the evaporator 21st is fed from where it is via the output side of the refrigerant channel assembly 22 of the suction side of the compressor 16th is supplied.
