Definitions

  • the present invention relates to refrigerators according to the preamble of claim 1, as for example DE-A-195 35 144 or DE-A-195 35 145 are known.
  • the refrigerant circuits of conventional refrigerators of this type have a collector in which can accumulate in the course of an interruption of the operation of the compressor refrigerant, which can be supplied to this immediately when resuming the compressor operation.
  • a collector in which can accumulate in the course of an interruption of the operation of the compressor refrigerant, which can be supplied to this immediately when resuming the compressor operation.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device of the type specified, in which a cooling effect can be achieved directly with the commissioning of the compressor, and thus has an improved thermal efficiency.
  • the cooling capacity of the downstream, second through-flow evaporator is at most a small fraction of the cooling capacity that can be reached when it flows through first.
  • the evaporators are preferably arranged at different heights, the upstream being higher than the downstream evaporator.
  • the refrigerant line of the upstream evaporator is preferably continuously downhill for the majority of its length to the downstream evaporator.
  • condensing refrigerant can flow freely to the downstream evaporator down.
  • a directional valve is preferably arranged in the refrigerant circuit, which makes it possible to decouple the upstream evaporator from the refrigerant circuit.
  • Fig. 1 schematically shows a section through a refrigerator with a housing 1, the two separated by an intermediate bottom 2 inner compartments 3, 4, for example, a freezer compartment and a normal refrigeration compartment, at the respective doors 7, 8 opposite evaporator walls 5 and 6 are mounted.
  • the evaporators 5, 6 are supplied by a compressor 9 with refrigerant which is operated intermittently in response to each measured in the inner compartments 3 and 4 temperatures.
  • Fig. 2 schematically shows the structure of the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerator Fig. 1 ,
  • the compressor 9, a heat exchanger 10, the evaporator 5 of the higher internal compartment 3, and the evaporator 6 of the lower internal compartment 4 are connected in series to a closed circuit.
  • the amount of refrigerant circulating in this circuit is such that, in cooling mode, with the compressor running the refrigerant fed into the higher evaporator 5 is substantially vaporized when the refrigerant flow reaches the lower evaporator 6.
  • the two evaporators 5, 6 are connected in series, essentially only the higher inner compartment 3 is cooled.
  • a directional control valve 11 is connected to two switching positions with the output of the compressor 10, which in its first switching position, the refrigerant flow to the inlet of the evaporator 5 and in its second switching position under spin-off of the evaporator 5 from the Refrigerant circuit directly to the inlet of the evaporator 6 supplies.
  • the evaporators 5, 6 are designed in a manner known per se as Rollbond evaporator, with an evaporator plate made of a good heat conducting material and arranged on one side of the plate in intimate contact with this, extending in alternate directions refrigerant line 12.
  • the refrigerant line 12 is from the input 13 to the output 14 of the evaporator 5 downhill. This ensures that refrigerant which can condense with the compressor 9 switched off in the evaporator 5, does not collect in this, but flows into the lower evaporator 6, which thus acts as a reservoir for the refrigerant.
  • the lower-lying evaporator 6, as shown in the figure may have the same structure as the higher-lying evaporator 5.
  • Fig. 3 shows a more detailed representation or a further development of the refrigerant circuit Fig. 2 .
  • Capillary lines 16, 17, which form the outputs of the directional control valve 11 are guided in the interior of a return flow line 18, is fed through the relaxed refrigerant from the outlet of the lower evaporator 6 to the compressor 9 , Both Kapillartechnischen are guided along the outer edge of the compressor 6, but since they carry the refrigerant under high pressure, there is no significant evaporation in the capillary. This takes place only when after passing through a throttle coil 19 and 20, the expanded refrigerant enters the refrigerant line 12 of the evaporator 6 and 5 respectively.
  • Both evaporators 5, 6 are provided with electrical heating elements 21, which can serve to thaw condensate on the surface of the evaporator 5, 6 condensed air moisture from the inner compartments 3, 4 and eliminate or especially in the case of the lower evaporator 6, from the evaporation to counteract cooling resulting from the refrigerant collected when the compressor is started when the temperature to be maintained in the inner compartment 4 is, exceptionally, higher than the ambient temperature.

Claims (5)

  1. Appareil frigorifique comprenant un compresseur (9), un évaporateur (5) situé en amont et un évaporateur (6) situé en aval, qui sont raccordés en série dans un circuit d'agent frigorifique et sont traversés par un agent frigorifique, caractérisé en ce que l'évaporateur (6) situé en aval est utilisé comme collecteur d'agent frigorifique et en ce que la quantité d'agent frigorifique circulant dans le circuit d'agent frigorifique est dimensionnée de manière à ce que l'agent frigorifique s'évapore essentiellement complètement dans l'évaporateur (5) situé en amont.
  2. Appareil frigorifique selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que le circuit d'agent frigorifique ne présente pas de collecteur d'agent frigorifique différent des évaporateurs (5, 6).
  3. Appareil frigorifique selon la revendication 1 ou 2, caractérisé en ce que les évaporateurs sont disposés à différentes hauteurs, l'évaporateur (5) disposé en amont étant disposé plus haut que l'évaporateur (6) disposé en aval.
