Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigeration device having an evaporator arrangement, which comprises a first and a second evaporator, which are formed on integrally connected plate segments of a roll-bonded evaporator plate.
  • evaporator arrangements are used in particular in refrigerators with a normal refrigerated compartment and a frost compartment to cool both compartments in a simple structure.
  • the object of the invention is therefore, a refrigeration device with an evaporator assembly comprising a first and a second evaporator, wherein the first evaporator comprises at least two integrally connected to a bending line plate segments, the second Evaporator comprises a plate segment with a bending line adjacent, separated from the first evaporator by a gap edge and the two Evaporator by a gap bridging, corrugated strips are integrally connected, which can be molded safely and without risk of damaging a running along the edge of the second evaporator and connected to the first evaporator throttle line.
  • the object is achieved in that also s-shaped waves are formed in the throttle line at the level of the gap. That is, while conventionally one throttle line is sized to connect the evaporator without detours to another component of the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerator, according to the invention, the throttle line has a sufficient length to, even when laid like the connecting strip waves, the evaporator assembly still be able to connect with the other components of the refrigerant circuit. It is therefore not necessary to protect the throttle line from deformation, but it can be specifically introduced the same deformation in the throttle line as in the connecting strip.
  • the throttling line When the evaporators are connected in series between the throttling line and a second refrigerant line, the throttling line preferably has a smaller cross-section than the second, since the smaller its cross-section, the easier it is to bend.
  • the second refrigerant line is preferably connected to the second evaporator. So there is no need to form waves in the second refrigerant line.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of an in a conventional manner in a roll-bond method produced evaporator.
  • the evaporator plate has a base plate 1 of substantially rectangular shape, wherein over the rectangular basic shape in a right upper corner a narrow edge strip 2 protrudes.
  • a throttle line 3 extends parallel to the right edge of the base plate 1 to a connection point 4 on the edge strip. 2
  • a running on the base plate 1 in meanders refrigerant line 5 divides the base plate 1 in an upper, a middle and a lower portion 6, 7, 8, by the upper section 6 first in the middle section 7 and then on the detour back over the upper portion 6 extends to the lower portion 8.
  • a suction line 9 is connected to a connection point 10 at the lower edge of the base plate 1.
  • the middle section 7 is cut free, a section line 11 extending here from the left edge between the sections 7, 8 and at right angles to separate a connecting strip 12 from the central section 7 on which the refrigerant line 5 from the upper portion 6 is rectilinear to the lower portion 8.
  • the middle portion 6 and the upper half of the upper portion 8 are bent at right angles, as in FIGS 3 and 4 to form back panel, floor and ceiling panel segments 13, 14 and 15, respectively, for a freezer compartment evaporator.
  • Fig. 6 shows the resulting evaporator assembly installed in a refrigerator.
  • the refrigerator shown schematically in section has a known per se structure with a frost compartment 18 in the upper and a normal refrigeration compartment 19 in the lower region of a body 20, a lying between the compartments 18, 19 partition wall 23 and recessed at the bottom of the back of the body 20 niche , which receives a compressor 21 and possibly other parts of the refrigerant circuit of the device.
  • a behind the rear wall of the body 20 arranged condenser is designated 22.
  • the rear wall plate segment 13 obtained from the upper portion of the original evaporator board fills the rear wall of the frost compartment 13, the plate segments 14, 15 each extend over a major part of its floor or ceiling.
  • the bend 16 of the connecting strip 12 the distance between the lower portion 8 and the rear wall plate segment 13 is reduced to the thickness of the partition wall 23 between the compartments 18, 19, so that the lower portion 8 at the rear wall of the normal refrigeration compartment 19 up to whose upper edge extends.
