Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooling device comprising a fresh food compartment and a freezer compartment.
  • Domestic type cooling devices generally consist of two separate compartments, fresh food and freezer, that are kept at different temperatures.
  • the fresh food compartment is utilized preferably for storing fresh food and the freezer compartment for storing frozen food.
  • the cooling device having two compartments kept at different temperatures is provided to cool by means of a different refrigerant circuit for each compartment. Such cooling devices have high cost.
  • the cooling devices with two compartments operating at different temperatures can also be provided to cool by means of a single refrigerant circuit and a temperature sensor disposed in the fresh food compartment.
  • the major problem in the refrigerators wherein the refrigeration is performed by taking the temperature of the fresh food compartment as reference is encountered when the external ambient temperature is lower than the determined value. In this case, the heat gain in the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator is very low and the runtime ratio of the compressor decreases thus lowering the refrigerating efficiency of the freezer compartment.
  • the temperature of the freezer compartment exceeds the desired temperature value and causes the storage life of the frozen foods to decrease or the foods to be spoiled.
  • a heating element is placed in the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator to solve the problem.
  • the temperature of the fresh food compartment is increased by activating the heating element and thus the compressor is provided to operate.
  • the external ambient temperature is low and the compressor does not operate for a long time, temperature variations are observed in both compartments. Furthermore, the temperature of the freezer compartment cannot be prevented from exceeding the determined value.
  • Italian Patent No. IT1027733 the heater is provided to be deactivated by means of a manual control at high temperatures. This technique is not sensitive enough since it is dependent on the user.
  • a timer is added to the system in order to decrease the energy consumption.
  • the ambient temperature is detected by means of a sensor disposed in the fresh food compartment. If the stopping time of the compressor is lower than a determined delay time, the heater is not activated, thus unnecessary energy consumption is prevented. In cases wherein the external ambient temperature is low, the stopping time of the compressor is higher than the determined delay time and the heater is activated.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device wherein efficient cooling is performed independently of the ambient temperature.
  • the control unit operates the fan that provides air circulation in the fresh food compartment. Since operation of the fan increases the temperature of the refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration circuit, the control unit operates the compressor when this temperature is detected by the temperature sensor to reach the temperature for starting of the compressor. Thus, the compressor is prevented from being stopped for a long time period at low ambient temperature and the foods in the freezer compartment from being spoiled.
  • the fan when the fan is operated due to the compressor being stopped for a long time, the fan is operated until the temperature detected by the temperature sensor reaches at least the temperature whereat the compressor is started.
  • the fan when the fan is operated due to the compressor being stopped for a long time period, the fan is operated until the temperature detected by the temperature sensor reaches the temperature whereat the compressor is stopped.
  • a fan is disposed inside the fresh food compartment that provides air circulation therein.
  • the fan when the heater is operated due to the compressor being stopped for a long time, the fan is also operated.
  • heat transfer is accelerated and the freezing risk of the foods in the fresh food compartment resulting from the compressor being stopped for a long time is eliminated.
  • the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the fresh food compartment or the temperature of the fresh food compartment evaporator in order to control starting and stopping of the compressor.
  • the need for heating the fresh food compartment in order to provide starting of the compressor in cold environments is provided by the present heater used for preventing frosting of the freezer compartment evaporator and thus the use of additional heating element to this end is eliminated.
