Abstract

La présente invention prévoit l'utilisation, dans le circuit de réfrigération d'un appareil ménager de réfrigération par compression de vapeur ou d'un appareil similaire, du même moyen de commande (7) que celui utilisé pour le moteur d'entraînement du compresseur (1), qui est un moteur sans balais. En outre, ce moyen de commande est également prévu pour commander les vannes électromagnétiques (8), placées en amont du tube capillaire (4), et adaptées pour interrompre l'écoulement du réfrigérant migrant du condenseur (2) vers l'évaporateur (5) pendant les pauses dans le fonctionnement du compresseur (1). Ces moyens de commande (7) commandent un seul paramètre électrique, comme la fréquence de l'alimentation électrique, de préférence. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les vannes(8) comprennent, au moins, une vanne bistable.
