Description

Multi-condenser for kim-chi storage

The present invention relates to a multi-condenser for kimchi storage, and more particularly, in the kimchi storage having a plurality of storage compartments, by condensing as many as the number of storage compartments, even when only one storage compartment is used to effectively condense the refrigerant It relates to a multi-condenser for kimchi storage.

Recently, the refrigerator used in the home changes the temperature inside the refrigerator severely in the process of opening and closing the door frequently, such a conventional refrigerator has a short shelf life of kimchi.

In addition, due to the characteristics of kimchi, the proper temperature for maintaining a suitable ripening state is lower than the temperature required for general refrigerated food, so it is difficult to store kimchi in a general refrigerator for a long time, and is a dedicated refrigerator for kimchi at home (hereinafter referred to as kimchi storage). ) Is a trend.

1 is a perspective view showing a typical kimchi storage. As shown in FIG. 1, the kimchi reservoir consists of a main body 4 and a door 1. The main body 4 and the door 1 are coupled to the hinge 3. The front of the main body 4 is provided with a control panel 5.

In addition, the inner case of the main body is provided with an incase (2) for storing kimchi and the like. The side wall of the incase 2 is provided with an evaporator having an evaporator tube to be described below.

FIG. 2 is a circulation diagram schematically showing a conventional refrigeration system of a kimchi storage, in which a high-temperature refrigerant gas exchanged with ambient air through an evaporator 8 is sent to a compressor 6 located in a machine room and compressed. The refrigerant vaporized at a high temperature and high pressure through the liquefied liquid is liquefied while dissipating the heat of condensation through the condenser (7), and the liquefied refrigerant passed through the condenser (7) to the evaporator (8) located on the sidewall of the case of Kimchi storage. The vaporized gas is evaporated by the latent heat of evaporation which is exchanged with the surrounding air, and is changed to a low temperature and low pressure. In the accumulator 9, the gaseous refrigerant and the liquid refrigerant are separated, and the refrigerant circulation flowing into the compressor 6 is repeated.

In the conventional kimchi storage having such a refrigeration system, two or more evaporators 8 are required when two or more incases 2 are provided as shown in FIG.

3 is a schematic view showing a refrigeration system of a kimchi storage having two or more evaporators 19a and 19b. As shown in FIG. 3, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 6 flows through the condenser 7 by the solenoid valve 10 to the respective evaporators 19a and 19b.

In this case, since one condenser 7 drives two or more evaporators, the condenser 7 is driven to the extent that all of the other evaporators which are not used even if only one evaporator is driven may function. It was not appropriate in terms of efficiency.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, the object of the present invention in the kimchi storage having two or more evaporators, by providing a separate condenser on each evaporator, whether or not to use each evaporator Therefore, the condenser can be driven to provide a multi-condenser for kimchi storage that can condense the refrigerant optimally.

An object of the present invention as described above, in the kimchi storage having two or more evaporators, it can be achieved by a multi-condenser for kimchi storage is connected to a separate condenser each of the evaporators.

In this case, a solenoid valve may be connected to the inlet of the condenser.

In addition, a check valve may be connected to the outlet of the condenser to prevent the backflow of the refrigerant.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figure 4 will be described for the kimchi storage multi-condenser according to the present invention. 4 is a view schematically showing a multi-condenser for kimchi storage according to the present invention.

Except for the multi-condenser for kimchi storage according to the present invention to be described below, the same as the configuration of the conventional kimchi storage, the same reference numerals are used for the same components.

As shown in FIG. 4, the present invention is characterized by connecting separate condensers 17; 17a and 17b to each of the two or more evaporators 9a and 9b.

Specifically, in the kimchi storage having two or more incases 2, two or more evaporators 19a and 19b forming the outer walls of each incase 2 are provided.

In this case, the condenser 17a for the evaporator 19a is connected to the evaporator 19a, and the condenser 17b for the evaporator 19b is connected to the evaporator 19b.

Therefore, when only one evaporator, for example, the evaporator 19a is used, only the condenser 17a needs to be driven, thereby achieving an efficient refrigerant system.

As a result, even when a plurality of evaporators are provided, only the condenser connected to the evaporator to be used needs to be driven, thereby preventing unnecessary waste of energy and stably supplying the refrigerant to the evaporator.

In this case, solenoid valves 16a and 16b may be provided at the inlet of the condenser 17, that is, between the compressor 6 and the condensers 17a and 17b, respectively. The solenoid valve 16 effectively controls the refrigerant flowing from the compressor 6 to the condensers 17a and 17b.

Also, check valves 18 may be provided at the outlets of the condensers 17a and 17b to prevent backflow of the refrigerant. The check valve 18 maintains the flow of refrigerant flowing from the condensers 17a and 17b to the respective evaporators 19a and 19b and flows from the evaporators 19a and 19b to the respective condensers 17a and 17b, i.e. It serves to prevent the flow of refrigerant flowing back.

Specific embodiments or embodiments made in the detailed description of the present invention are intended to clarify the technical contents of the present invention to the last, and should not be construed as limited to these specific embodiments by consultation, the spirit of the present invention and the utility model described below Various changes are possible within the scope of the registration request.

As described above, according to the Kimchi storage multi-condenser according to the present invention, by connecting a condenser separately to each of the plurality of evaporators, when only one of the evaporator to drive only the condenser connected to it, to prevent unnecessary waste of energy The refrigerant can be effectively supplied only to the evaporator which is simultaneously driven.

In addition, by providing a solenoid valve at the inlet of the condenser, it is possible to effectively control the refrigerant from the compressor.

In addition, by providing a check valve at the outlet of the condenser, it is possible to prevent the flow of the refrigerant flowing back from the evaporator to the condenser.
