Abstract

A refrigerator includes a heat-insulating housing having compartments separated from one another and each having a different temperature, evaporators each cooling one of the compartments with a refrigerant, each compartment having a different refrigerating capacity, throttles each connected upstream of an evaporator, a refrigerant compressor having a suction side connected to a refrigerant collector, and at least one activator connected to the evaporators, the activator positively and separately controlling circulation of the refrigerant through the evaporators. The compressor is connected to the throttles and evaporators for circulating the refrigerant. One evaporator has a higher capacity and a refrigerant routing portion with a refrigerant reception volume. The collector collects an amount of refrigerant when the compressor is in the standstill phase. More than a majority of the reception volume of the refrigerant routing portion is filled with the refrigerant in the standstill phase of the compressor.

Description

Kälteqerät Kälteqerät
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät mit einem wärmeisolierenden Gehäuse, innerhalb welchem wenigstens zwei wärmeisolierend voneinander getrennte, eine unterschiedliche Gefrierfachtemperatur aufweisende Kältefächer vorgesehen sind, welche jeweils von einem Verdampfer entsprechender Kälteleistung gekühlt sind, welche zuflußseitig jeweils eine vorgeschaltete Drosseleinrichtung aufweisen und welche durch wenigstens ein Ansteuermittel jeweils getrennt mit von einem saugseitig einen vorgeschalteten Kälte- mittelsammier aufweisenden Kältemittelverdichter zwangsweise ungewälzten Kältemittel beaufschlagt sind, welche sich in der Stillstandsphase des Kältemittelverdichters zumindest zu einem gewissen Teil in einem Kältemittelführungsabschnitt des Verdampfers höherer Kälteleistung sammelt.The invention relates to a refrigeration device with a heat-insulating housing, within which there are at least two heat-insulating separate refrigeration compartments, each with a different freezer temperature, which are each cooled by an evaporator with a corresponding cooling capacity, each of which has an upstream throttle device on the inflow side and which each have at least one control means Separately, refrigerant compressors with an upstream refrigerant accumulator on the suction side are subjected to forced, non-circulated refrigerant, which at least to a certain extent accumulates in a refrigerant guide section of the evaporator of higher refrigeration capacity in the standstill phase of the refrigerant compressor.
Bei Kühl- und Gefrierkombinationen mit einem einzigen Verdichter ist es beispielsweise bekannt, deren Kühl- bzw. Gefrierfach mit in Serienschaltung verknüpften Verdampfern zukühlen, wobei der Kühlfachverdampfer dem Gefrierfachverdampfer in Reihenschaltung vorgelagert war. Eine derartige Verschaltung der Verdampfer ermöglicht jedoch keine getrennte Regelung der beiden Kältefächer. Im Hinblick darauf ist man dazu übergegangen, bei Kühl- und Gefrierkombinationen, ausgestattet mit einem einzigen Verdichter, den Kühlfachverdampfer und den Gefrierfachverdampfer in Parallelschaltung zueinander anzuordnen. Eine derartige Anordnung ermöglicht zwar eine separate Temperaturregelung der von diesen Verdampfern gekühlten Fächern, jedoch bringt diese Verschaltung mit sich, daß sich während der Stillstandszeit des Kältemittelverdichters im Gefrierfachverdampfer, aufgrund der Temperatur- und Druckdifferenz zum Kühlfachverdampfer eine gewisse Käitemittelverlagerung zum Gefrierfachverdampfer hin einstellt, wodurch bei einer Kälteanforderung des Kühlfaches lediglich eine reduzierte Kältemittelmenge zur Küh- lung des Kühlfachverdampfers zur Verfügung steht und somit entweder Verzögerungszeiten oder gar Funktionsstörungen auftreten können.In the case of refrigerator and freezer combinations with a single compressor, it is known, for example, to cool their refrigerator or freezer compartment with evaporators linked in series, the refrigerator compartment evaporator being upstream of the freezer compartment evaporator. Such an interconnection of the evaporators, however, does not allow separate control of the two refrigeration compartments. In view of this, there has been a move towards arranging the refrigerator compartment evaporator and the freezer compartment evaporator in parallel with one another in refrigerator and freezer combinations equipped with a single compressor. Such an arrangement allows a separate temperature control of the compartments cooled by these evaporators, but this interconnection entails that during the downtime of the refrigerant compressor in the freezer compartment evaporator, due to the temperature and pressure difference to the refrigerator compartment evaporator, a certain amount of refrigerant shift to the freezer compartment evaporator occurs, which results in a cooling request from the cooling compartment, only a reduced amount of refrigerant for cooling tion of the refrigerator compartment evaporator is available and thus either delay times or even malfunctions can occur.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Kältegerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 mit einfachen konstruktiven Maßnahmen derart zu gestalten, daß einerseits die Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermieden sind und andererseits eine separate Temperaturregelung der Kältefächer ermöglicht ist.The invention has for its object to design a refrigeration appliance according to the preamble of claim 1 with simple constructive measures such that on the one hand the disadvantages of the prior art are avoided and on the other hand a separate temperature control of the refrigeration compartments is possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß der Kältemittelführungs- abschnitt hinsichtlich seines Kältemittelaufnahmevolumens auf zumindest annähernd seine vollständige Befüllung mit flüssigem Kältemittel in der Stehzeit des Verdichters ausgelegt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the refrigerant guide section is designed for at least approximately its complete filling with liquid refrigerant during the idle time of the compressor with regard to its refrigerant absorption volume.
Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung des Gefrierfachverdampfers wird bei einer Kälteanforderung des Kühlfaches beim Anlauf des Kältemittelverdichters Druck auf das sich während der Stillstandszeit des Kältemittelverdichters in diesem Kältemittelführungsabschnitt angesammelte flüssige Kältemittel ausgeübt, wodurch dieses unmittelbar nach dem Anlauf des Verdichters aus dem Gefrierfachverdampfer in einen Kältemittelsammler transportiert wird und von diesem aus zur Kühlung des Kühlfachverdampfers zur Verfügung steht. Durch die vollständige Befüllung des zu Sammlung von flüssigem Kältemittel während der Stillstandsphase des Kältemittelverdichters dienenden Verdamfer- abschnitts des Gefrierfachverdampfers wirkt auf das angesammelte flüssige Kältemittel beim Anlauf des Verdichters eine Druckdifferenz, wodurch das flüssige dann aus dem Gefrierfachverdampfer „mitgerissen" wird und somit äußerst rasch dem zur Kühlung des Kühlfachverdampfers dienenden Kältekreis zugeführt ist.Due to the design of the freezer compartment evaporator according to the invention, when the refrigeration compartment starts to cool when the refrigerant compressor starts up, pressure is exerted on the liquid refrigerant accumulated in this refrigerant guide section during the downtime of the refrigerant compressor, as a result of which it is transported from the freezer compartment evaporator to a refrigerant collector immediately after the compressor starts up from this is available for cooling the refrigerator compartment evaporator. Due to the complete filling of the evaporator section of the freezer compartment evaporator serving to collect liquid refrigerant during the standstill phase of the refrigerant compressor, a pressure difference acts on the accumulated liquid refrigerant when the compressor starts, whereby the liquid is then "carried away" from the freezer compartment evaporator and thus extremely quickly cooling circuit serving to cool the refrigerator compartment evaporator is supplied.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Kältemittelaufnahmevolumen des Kältemittelführungsabschnitts geringer bemessen ist, als die während der Stehzeit des Kältemittelverdichters im Verdampfer hö- herer Kälteleistung sich ansammelnde Menge flüssigen Kältemittels. Hierdurch ergibt sich auf kostengünstige Weise eine äußerst sichere Betriebsweise zur separaten Regelung des Gefrier- bzw. Kühlfaches, welche zudem aufgrund ihrer getrennten Regelbarkeit auch einzeln abschaltbar sind.According to a preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the refrigerant absorption volume of the refrigerant guide section is dimensioned smaller than the amount of liquid refrigerant accumulating in the evaporator of higher refrigeration capacity during the idle time of the refrigerant compressor. This results in an extremely safe mode of operation for separate control of the freezer or refrigerator compartment in a cost-effective manner, which can also be switched off individually because of their separate controllability.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist der Verdampfer höherer Kälteleistung ausgebildet, wenn nach einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß der Verdampfer höherer Kälteleistung als Gefrierfachverdampfer ausgebildet ist, dessen in Funktionslage des Kältegerätes am tiefsten liegender Kältemittelführungsabschnitt hinsichtlich seines Kältemittelaufnahmevolumens geringer bemessen ist, als die sich in der Stehzeit des Kältemittelverdichters dort ansammelnde Kältemittelmenge. Eine vollständige Befüllung des Kältemittelführungsabschnitts läßt sich im Fall eines aus einem Plattenverbund gefertigten Verdampfers beispielsweise durch eine entsprechende Verringerung des Kanalquerschnitts erreichen.The evaporator with a higher refrigeration capacity is particularly advantageous if, according to a next preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the evaporator with a higher refrigeration capacity is designed as a freezer compartment evaporator whose refrigerant guide section, which is the lowest in the functional position of the refrigeration device, is dimensioned to be smaller in terms of its refrigerant absorption volume than that amount of refrigerant accumulating there while the refrigerant compressor is standing. Complete filling of the refrigerant guide section can be achieved in the case of an evaporator made of a composite plate, for example by a corresponding reduction in the channel cross section.
Entsprechend einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Verdampfer höherer Kälteleistung als Verdampfersystem mit mehreren in Abstand übereinander angeordneten Verdampferebenen ausgebildet ist.According to a next preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the evaporator of higher cooling capacity is designed as an evaporator system with a plurality of evaporator levels arranged one above the other at a distance.
Für derartige Verdampfer haben sich sowohl plattenartige Verdampferebenen als auch sogenannte Drahtrohrverdampfer bewährt, wobei bei der letzten Art von Verdampfern der in der Stehzeit des Verdichters zumindest vollständig mit flüssigem Kältemittel befüllte Kältemittelführungsabschnitt durch einen mäanderartig ausgebildeten Rohrabschnitt ausgeführt ist.For such evaporators, both plate-like evaporator planes and so-called wire-tube evaporators have proven successful, with the last type of evaporator, the refrigerant guide section which is at least completely filled with liquid refrigerant during the standing time of the compressor being designed through a meandering tubular section.
Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Kältemittelsammler in das Wärmeisolationsmaterial des wärmeisolierenden Gehäuses eingebettet ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the refrigerant collector is embedded in the heat insulation material of the heat-insulating housing.
Hierdurch ist auf einfache und sichere Art eine Betauung des Kältemittelversammlers bei der Beaufschlagung des Kühlfachverdampfers mit flüssigem Kältemittel verhindert.As a result, condensation on the refrigerant collector is prevented in a simple and safe manner when the refrigerated compartment evaporator is loaded with liquid refrigerant.
Gemäß einer alternativen Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Kältemittelsammler im Auffangbereich eines zur Sammlung des am Ver- dampfer geringerer Kälteleistung anfallenden Schmelzwassers vorgesehenen Tauauffangrinne angeordnet ist.According to an alternative embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the refrigerant collector in the collecting area is one for collecting the Steamer gutter provided steamer with lower cooling capacity is provided.
Durch eine derartige Anordnung des Kältemittelsammler erübrigt sich eine Wärmeisolation zur Vermeidung einer Betauung für diesen, da das im Falle einer Betauung des Kältemittelsammlers anfallende Tauwasser unmittelbar in die bereits vorhandene Tauwas- serauffangrinne eingeleitet ist.Such an arrangement of the refrigerant collector makes thermal insulation to avoid condensation for the latter, since the condensation water that occurs in the event of condensation of the refrigerant collector is introduced directly into the existing condensate collecting channel.
Die Erfindung ist in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung anhand eines in der beigefügten Zeichnung vereinfacht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles erläutert.The invention is explained in the following description with reference to an embodiment shown in simplified form in the accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt in vereinfachter schematischer Darstellung eine Kühl- und Gefrierkombination 10 mit einem wärmeisolierend ausgebildeten Gehäuse 11 , dessen Innenraum durch eine wärmeisolierend ausgebildete, horizontal angeordnete Zwischenwand 12 in zwei Abschnitte unterteilt ist, von denen der höher liegende Abschnitt als Kühlfach 13 ausgebildet ist. Zur Kühlung des Kühlfaches 13 ist ein platinenartig ausgeführter Verdampfer mit einem Kältemittelkanal 15 vorgesehen, welcher an seinem zuflußseitigen Ende eine Käl- temitteleinspritzstelle 16 aufweist. Unterhalb des Kühlfaches 13, durch die ZwischenwandFig. 1 shows a simplified schematic representation of a refrigerator and freezer combination 10 with a heat-insulating housing 11, the interior of which is divided by a heat-insulating, horizontally arranged intermediate wall 12 into two sections, of which the higher section is designed as a cooling compartment 13. To cool the cooling compartment 13, a circuit board-like evaporator is provided with a refrigerant channel 15, which has a refrigerant injection point 16 at its inflow end. Below the cooling compartment 13, through the partition
12 von diesem getrennt, ist innerhalb des wärmeisolierenden Gehäuses 11 ein Gefrierfach 17 vorgesehen, welches von einem beispielsweise als Drahtrohrverdampfer ausgebildeten Verdampfer 18 mit im vorliegenden Fall drei in vertikalen Abstand über- einander angeordneten durch entsprechende Formgebung einer einzigen Rohrleitung erzeugten Verdampferebenen 19, 20 und 21 gekühlt ist. Von den Verdampferebenen 19 bis 21 besitzt die bodennahe Verdampferebene 21 wie die beiden anderen Verdampferebenen 19 und 20 einen aus einer durchgehend verlaufenden mäanderartig geformten Rohrleitung gebildeten Kältemittelführungsabschnitt 22, welcher durch seine Dimensionierung, nämlich seines Innendurchmessers und seiner Länge ein Kälteaufnahmevolumen aufweist, welches zumindest eine vollständige Befüllung des Kältemittelführungsabschnittes 22 mit flüssigem Kältemittel 23 (s. hierzu Fig. 2) in der Stehzeit eines weiter unten genauer erläuterten Verdichters sicherstellt. An den Kältemittelführungsabschnitt 22, welcher eine seine vollständige Befüllung begünstigende Einbaulage aufweist, schließt sich eine Verbindungsleitung 24 an, welche in einer Abzweigstelle 25 mündet, zu welcher auch das ausiaufseitige Ende des Kühlfachverdampfers 14 geführt ist. Die Abzweigstelle 25 ist über eine Verbindungsleitung 26 mit einem als Dampfdom ausgebildeten Kältemittelsammler 27 verbunden, welcher zur Vermeidung einer Betauung im Kühl- betrieb des Kühlfachverdampfers in die Wärmeisolation des Zwischenbodens 12 eingebettet ist. Der Kältemittelsammler 27 ist über eine Saugleitung 28 mit einem Kältemittelverdichter 29 verbunden, welcher druckseitig an einen Verflüssiger 30 angeschlossen ist, dessen Ausgangsseite beispielsweise mit einem elektrisch ansteuerbaren 3/2 Wegemagnetventil 31 verbunden ist. Das 3/2 Wegemagnetventil 31 dient zur Steuerung des vom Kältemittelverdichter 29 zwangsweise ungewälzten Kältemittels 23 zu den Verdampfern12 separated from this, a freezer compartment 17 is provided within the heat-insulating housing 11, which is formed by an evaporator 18, for example, designed as a wire tube evaporator with three vertical distances in the present case. evaporator planes 19, 20 and 21, which are arranged one another by appropriate shaping of a single pipeline, are cooled. From the evaporator levels 19 to 21, the near-bottom evaporator level 21, like the two other evaporator levels 19 and 20, has a refrigerant guide section 22 formed from a continuous, meandering-shaped pipeline, which, due to its dimensions, namely its inside diameter and its length, has a cold absorption volume which is at least complete Filling of the refrigerant guide section 22 with liquid refrigerant 23 (see FIG. 2) ensures the standing time of a compressor explained in more detail below. A connecting line 24 adjoins the refrigerant guide section 22, which has an installation position which favors its complete filling, which opens into a branch point 25, to which the end of the cooling compartment evaporator 14 on the outside is also guided. The branch point 25 is connected via a connecting line 26 to a refrigerant collector 27 designed as a steam dome, which is embedded in the thermal insulation of the intermediate floor 12 to avoid condensation in the cooling operation of the refrigerator compartment evaporator. The refrigerant collector 27 is connected via a suction line 28 to a refrigerant compressor 29 which is connected on the pressure side to a condenser 30, the output side of which is connected, for example, to an electrically controllable 3/2 way solenoid valve 31. The 3/2-way solenoid valve 31 is used to control the refrigerant 23, which is forcibly rolled by the refrigerant compressor 29, to the evaporators
14 und 18 hin, wobei das Magnetventil 31 in einer Steuerstellung I das flüssige Kältemittel 24 über eine Drossel 32 zu dem Gefrierfachverdampfer 18 hin umlenkt, wo es über dessen Ebenen 19 bis 21 zu deren Kühlung geführt ist. Vom abflußseitigen Ende der Verdampferebene 21 strömt das Kältemittel 23 bei in Betrieb befindlichen Kältemittelver- dichter 29 über die Verbindungsleitung 24 hin zur Abzweigstelle 25 und von dort zum14 and 18, the solenoid valve 31 in a control position I deflecting the liquid refrigerant 24 via a throttle 32 to the freezer compartment evaporator 18, where it is guided to its cooling via its levels 19 to 21. When the refrigerant compressor 29 is in operation, the refrigerant 23 flows from the drain-side end of the evaporator level 21 via the connecting line 24 to the branch point 25 and from there to
Kältemittelsammler 27 in die saugseitig an den Kältemittelverdichter 29 angeschlossene Saugleitung 28. Neben der Steuerstellung I besitzt das Magnetventil 31 eine Steuerstellung II, in welcher das zwangsweise umgewälzte flüssige Kältemittel 23 über eine dem Verdampfer 14 vorgeschaltete Drossel 33 dem Verdampfer 14 zugeführt ist, von welchem es an dessen ausflußseitigen Ende über die Abzweigstelle 25 und den Kältemittelsammler 27 über die Saugleitung 28 wiederum dem Kältemittelverdichter 29 zugeführt ist.Refrigerant collector 27 into the suction line 28 connected to the refrigerant compressor 29 on the suction side. In addition to the control position I, the solenoid valve 31 has a control position II in which the forcibly circulated liquid refrigerant 23 is supplied to the evaporator 14 via a throttle 33 connected upstream of the evaporator 14, from which it is supplied at its outflow end via the branch point 25 and the refrigerant collector 27 via the suction line 28, the refrigerant compressor 29 is in turn supplied.
Für den Fall, daß nach einem Stillstand des Kältemittelverdichters 29 eine Kälteanforderung des Kühlfaches 13 signalisiert wird, wird das sich während der Stillstandsphase des Kältemittelverdichters 29 im Kältemittelaufnahmevolumen des Kältemittelführungsabschnittes 22 angesammelte flüssige Kältemittel 23 beim Wiederanlauf des Kältemittelver- dichters 29 aufgrund der Temperaturanforderung des Kühlfaches 13 aus dem Kältemittelführungsabschnitt 22 mitgerissen und in den als Kältemittelsammler 27 dienenden Dampfdom gefördert, wo es nun dem Kältekreislauf zur Kühlung des Kühlfaches 13, angesteuert über die Steuerstellung II des Magnetventils 31 , zur Verfügung steht. Durch die sofortige Aktivierung des sich im Gefrierfachverdampfer 18 prinzipbedingt während derIn the event that a refrigeration request from the cooling compartment 13 is signaled after the refrigerant compressor 29 has come to a standstill, the liquid refrigerant 23 accumulated in the refrigerant receiving volume of the refrigerant guide section 22 during the standstill phase of the refrigerant compressor section 22 when the refrigerant distributor is restarted. seal 29 due to the temperature requirement of the cooling compartment 13 entrained from the refrigerant guide section 22 and conveyed into the steam dome serving as a refrigerant collector 27, where it is now available to the refrigeration circuit for cooling the cooling compartment 13, controlled via the control position II of the solenoid valve 31. Due to the immediate activation of the principle in the freezer evaporator 18 during the
Stillstandsphase des Kältemittelverdichters 29 ansammelnden flüssigen Kältemittels 23 wird im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, bei welchem das sich während der Stillstandsphase des Kältemittelverdichters im Gefrierfachverdampfer 18 angesammelte Kältemittel 24 nur allmählich dem Kühlfachkältekreis zugeführt wird, äußerst rasch in den Kühlfachkältekreis übergeführt, wodurch die bestimmungsgemäße Temperatur im Kühlfach 13 im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik deutlich früher erreicht und somit die Energiebilanz der Kühl- und Gefrierkombination deutlich verbessert wird. In contrast to the prior art, in which the refrigerant 24 accumulated in the freezer evaporator 18 during the shutdown phase of the refrigerant compressor 29, the liquid refrigerant 23 accumulating liquid refrigerant 23 is extremely rapidly transferred to the refrigeration compartment refrigeration circuit, as a result of which the intended temperature in Cooling compartment 13 is reached much earlier in comparison to the prior art and thus the energy balance of the fridge-freezer combination is significantly improved.
