Abstract

Dans la présente invention, un réfrigérant mélangé non azéotrope qui a un rapport de composition spécifique est mis en circulation dans un dispositif à cycle frigorifique (100). Ce dispositif à cycle frigorifique (100) est pourvu d'un compresseur (1), d'un premier échangeur de chaleur (2), d'un contenant de réfrigérant (3), d'une unité de réduction de pression (4) et d'un second échangeur de chaleur (5). Le réfrigérant mélangé non azéotrope circule séquentiellement à travers le compresseur (1), le premier échangeur de chaleur (3), le contenant de réfrigérant (3), l'unité de réduction de pression (4) et le second échangeur de chaleur (5), dans ledit ordre. La fréquence d'entraînement (fc) du compresseur (1) dans un premier cas est supérieure à la fréquence d'entraînement (fc) du compresseur (1) dans un second cas. Dans le premier cas, la différence entre la température de référence et une première température (T1) du réfrigérant mélangé non azéotrope à une pression spécifique (Ps) est supérieure à un premier seuil. Dans le second cas, la différence entre la température de référence et la première température (T1) est inférieure au premier seuil. La pression spécifique (Ps) est la pression du réfrigérant mélangé non azéotrope sortant de l'unité de réduction de pression (4).
