Definitions

  • the present invention is related to providing heating by means of an illuminating lamp, that can be controlled with a serial switch or using a button with two contacts as the button providing the internal illumination according to the position of the door and connecting a diode to one of the said contacts, in a two-door refrigerator having a freezer and a fresh food compartment.
  • the compressor is stopped when the inner temperature of the fresh food compartment reaches the required level, as detected by the thermostat; and when the fresh food compartment temperature reaches a certain level, the thermostat changes its position in order to switch in the compressor.
  • This rise in the temperature of the fresh food compartment can occur naturally or additional electrical heaters can be used to accelerate the warming up. The said heaters, also prevent the frost formation etc. due to the condensation in their area.
  • the lamp is used as the heater and its power is reduced by means of resistive elements so that it can be used both for illuminating and for heating purposes.
  • the lamp used for both illuminating and heating purposes by reducing its value using a capacitor, is disclosed.
  • the capacity of the lamp can be modified depending on the value of the capacitor.
  • the object of the present invention is to use the lamp also as a heater when required, without consuming much energy.
  • the lamp (2) in the fresh food compartment is used as a heater when the door is closed, this prevents the inner temperature of the said compartment from falling below a determined level and enables the normal operation of the compressor (6).
  • the lamp (2) functions as an illuminator and a heater.
  • the diode (1) is connected in series to the normal "off" contact of a door button switch (7) with two contacts (7a, 7b) .
  • the lamp (2) stays illuminated and provides a heating with the desired capacity, when the refrigerator door is closed.
  • the heater position switch (4) connected in series and thus unnecessary energy consumption is avoided.
  • the lamp (2) will be kept illuminated in low capacity status no matter if the door is open or closed. In this manner heating will be realized and the refrigerator will be able to operate in normal cycle.
  • the heater position switch (4) is at "off' position, the refrigerator illumination lamp will carry on its normal function ( Figure 2).

Claims (3)

  1. Réfrigérateur à deux portes avec des compartiments de congélation et de réfrigération, un compresseur (6), une lampe (2) pour empêcher, sous une température ambiante basse, la température intérieure dudit compartiment de réfrigération de descendre en dessous d'un niveau prédéterminé, la lampe (2) agissant en tant que dispositif de chauffage dans le compartiment de réfrigération, permettant ainsi le fonctionnement du compresseur (6), et un commutateur de position de dispositif de chauffage (4) connecté en série à la lampe (2), caractérisé en ce qu'une diode (1) est connectée en série au commutateur de position de dispositif de chauffage (4) et à la lampe (2), au moyen de laquelle le courant de lampe, donc l'électricité de lampe, peut être réduit de moitié pour économiser de l'énergie.
  2. Réfrigérateur à deux portes selon la revendication 1, caractérisé par un commutateur de bouton de porte (7) avec deux contacts (7a, 7b), dans lequel un des deux contacts (7a, 7b) est un contact d'« arrêt » normal (7a), qui est fermé, lorsque la porte de réfrigérateur est fermée, dans lequel la diode (1) est connectée en série au contact d'« arrêt » normal (7a) du commutateur de bouton de porte (7), qui permet à la lampe (2) de servir de dispositif de chauffage lorsque le commutateur de position de dispositif de chauffage (4) est fermé et lorsque la porte de réfrigérateur est fermée.
  3. Réfrigérateur à deux portes selon la revendication 1, caractérisé par un commutateur de position d'illumination (5) qui est connecté en parallèle à la diode (1) et au commutateur de position de dispositif de chauffage (4).
