Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a domestic refrigerator, with at least two designed for different storage temperatures subjects.
  • a refrigerator in particular a domestic refrigerator
  • Such devices also referred to as combination refrigerators, generally have a standard refrigerated compartment and a freezer compartment;
  • a zero-degree compartment or a basement compartment may be present.
  • each associated with one of the compartments are connected in series in a refrigerant circuit.
  • the distribution of the cooling capacity on the compartments is fixed by the type of device and is dependent, for example, on the order of the evaporators in the refrigerant circuit and their relative sizes. If the cooling capacity distribution corresponds to the refrigeration demand of the compartments, usable temperatures set in several compartments, even if a regulation of the refrigerant circuit is possible only on the basis of the measured temperature in one of the compartments. However, if, for example due to unusual ambient temperatures, the ratio of refrigeration demand of the compartments shifts, this leads to insufficient or excessive refrigeration of a compartment.
  • the evaporator of the normal refrigeration compartment is arranged upstream of that of the freezer compartment.
  • Refrigerant which evaporates in a stagnation phase of the circuit in the evaporator of the normal refrigeration compartment, displaces colder refrigerant in the freezer compartment evaporator downstream, and there is an undesirable heat input into the freezer compartment.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator with at least two designed for different storage temperatures subjects in which an independent cooling of the compartments with good efficiency with a simple design refrigerant circuit can be achieved.
  • the object is achieved by comprising in a refrigerator with at least two compartments and a branched refrigerant circuit, of which a first branch is passed through an evaporator of the warmer compartment and a second branch via an evaporator of the colder compartment, the evaporator of the colder compartment comprises two refrigerant pipes of which a first in the first branch is upstream of the evaporator of the warmer compartment, whereas the second line belongs to the second branch.
  • This structure makes it possible to apply refrigerant to the second branch only if an application of the first branch would lead to an undercooling of the warmer compartment.
  • this reduces the frequency with which the second branch is supplied with refrigerant and, as a result, liquid refrigerant can remain in the evaporator after the end of the charging, and secondly That is, since the second branch need only be used when there is a risk of undercooling the warmer compartment, there is little likelihood that there will be a shortage of refrigeration in the warmer compartment after the second branch is pressurized, and only a sub-optimal amount of refrigerant to pressurize the first branch is available.
  • the volume of the second branch is preferably set smaller than that of the first one.
  • the volume of the second branch is selected to be greater than that of the first branch. This cools the colder compartment much faster.
  • a refrigerant reservoir is expediently provided in a low-pressure region of the refrigerant circuit to intercept liquid refrigerant, if necessary, before it reaches the compressor.
  • the refrigerant reservoir is disposed downstream of a confluence of the two branches, so that any liquid refrigerant collected therein may be evaporated and recirculated even if refrigerant circulates only in the first but not in the second branch.
  • the refrigerant reservoir is flowed through in ascending direction, so that stored therein refrigerant can not escape in liquid form.
  • the two lines are preferably evenly distributed over the surface of the evaporator of the colder compartment to achieve a uniform cooling effect, regardless of whether the evaporator is cooled by circulating in the first or in the second branch refrigerant.
  • both branches each have a throttle point.
  • a valve for selectively charging the two branches with refrigerant may be disposed in a high-pressure area of the refrigerant cycle, and a compact and inexpensive valve having a small passage area may be used.
  • the length of the first refrigerant line at the evaporator of the colder compartment is shorter than the length of the second refrigerant line or the same length as the second refrigerant line dimensioned.
  • Fig. 1 shows a highly schematic front view of the body 1 of a refrigerator with a freezer 2 and an overlying normal refrigeration compartment 3.
  • evaporators 4, 5 are arranged, of which in the normal cooling compartment (3) provided evaporator (5) designed as a plate evaporator and is arranged on the cooling compartment rear wall, while in the freezer compartment (2) arranged evaporator (4) may be formed, for example, as a fin evaporator.
  • the evaporators 4, 5 are connected in a refrigerant circuit, which further comprises a compressor 6, a condenser 7, a directional control valve 8, two capillaries 9, 10 and a steam dome 11.
  • a first branch 15 comprises the capillary 9, a line 16 on the evaporator 4 of the freezer compartment 2 and, downstream of this, a line 17 on the evaporator 5 of the normal cooling compartment 3.
  • the second branch 18 comprises the capillary 10 and a line 19 the evaporator 4. At a point 20 upstream of the steam dome 11, the two branches meet again.
  • the two lines 16, 19 of the evaporator 4 are approximately the same length and extend substantially side by side over the entire surface of the evaporator 4, so that this is substantially uniformly cooled, no matter on which of the two branches 15, 18 refrigerant circulates.
  • a control circuit 12 controls the operation of the compressor 6 and the directional control valve 8 on the basis of two sensors 13, 14 in the compartments 2, 3 detected temperatures. For both compartments 2, 3, an interval is specified in each case in which the measured temperatures must move. If the measured temperature is above the interval in one of the compartments, the compressor 6 is started.
  • the directional control valve 8 is driven to supply the branch 15 with refrigerant. Since the volume of the branch 18 is small compared to that of the branch 15, at most a small amount of liquid refrigerant may be stored in the branch 18 at that time. The proportion of the circulating refrigerant in the entire contents of the refrigerant circuit is therefore high, and accordingly, a high pressure at the outlet of the compressor 6 can be achieved, which enables a cooling operation with good efficiency.
  • liquid refrigerant is heated by passing through warm, gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator 5, so that it also evaporates and the circuit is a short time after switching on the compressor 6 available.
  • the control circuit 12 switches the directional control valve 8, so that only the freezer compartment evaporator 4 is acted upon by the branch 18 with refrigerant. Since the flow rate of the compressor 6 is designed to supply enough refrigerant so that when the branch 15 is acted upon, an amount of liquid refrigerant sufficient to cool the normal cooling compartment 3 reaches the evaporator 5, it is easy to see that it is not passing through the branch 18 all refrigerant in line 19 evaporates.
  • the steam dome 11 may simply be realized in the form of a rising pipe section which is more spacious than adjoining sections of the refrigerant pipe, so that gaseous refrigerant entering from below into the steam dome 11 will bubble through any liquid refrigerant contained therein and at an upper end again can escape without entrain the liquid refrigerant.
  • the steam dome 11 is thermally insulated such that refrigerant passing through it from the evaporator 5 is the main heat source that provides heat of vaporization for stored liquid refrigerant.
  • the temperature in the normal refrigeration compartment 3 rises above the upper limit of the permissible interval, while the temperature in the freezer compartment 2 is within the permissible interval.
  • the evaporators 4, 5 are dimensioned such that during operation of the branch 15 the proportion of the cooling capacity attributable to the normal cooling compartment 3 is greater than corresponds to its average demand. If the compressor 6 is always switched off again when the temperature in any of the two compartments 2, 3 reaches the lower limit of the associated interval, both a sufficient cooling of the normal refrigeration compartment 3 can be ensured and supercooling in both compartments can be ruled out.
