Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerant circuit for domestic refrigerating apparatus operating at two different temperatures, in particular for a so-called "no frost" refrigerating apparatus of the automatic defrosting type including a rotary compressor.
- the refrigerant circuit of refrigerating apparatus of this type comprises a compressor (formerly of the reciprocating type exclusively), a condenser, at least one capillary and two evaporators disposed respectively in a storage compartment and a freezer compartment.
- the two compartments are disposed separately from one another in a cupboard housing and closed by separate doors.
- the evaporators are preferably interconnected in series, and the refrigerant circuit normally includes a thermostatically controlled valve permitting the flow of the refrigerant to be selectively directed to both evaporators or to the evaporator of the freezer compartment only.
- Recent developments provide the employ of compressors of the rotary type in domestic refrigerating apparatus having only a single compartment for the cold storage of foods and thus only a single evaporator.
- the employ of rotary compressors is advantageous from the viewpoint of energy consumption which is reduced by about 5% by comparison to that of corresponding reciprocating compressors.
- the rotary compressor has the shortcoming of requiring a longer period of time than a reciprocating compressor for attaining the proper operation pressure when the circuit operates under thermostatic control. This is because during inoperative periods of the rotary compressor the refrigerant fluid remaining in the compressor body at a high temperature and high pressure tends to escape towards the evaporator with the resultant equilibration of the pressure in the entire circuit.
- valve of this type is thus rather complicated, expensive, and above all cannot be adapted to refrigerating apparatus operating at two temperatures, that is, having two evaporators to be supplied in series or selectively.
- a refrigerant circuit for domestic refrigerating apparatus operating at two temperatures, and in particular with automatic defrosting, said circuit comprising a compressor, a condenser, two evaporators preferably connected in series, and at least one valve for selectively directing the refrigerant fluid to said evaporators, said valve having one inlet and two outlets and being inserted between said condenser and said evaporators, said circuit being characterized in that said compressor is of the rotary type, and said valve comprises two closure members adapted to close both outlets when said compressor is inoperative, and to selectively open one of said two outlets when said compressor is in operation.
- the refrigerant circuit shown in fig. 1 comprises a compressor 5 which according to the invention is of the rotary type.
- the outlet of compressor 5 is connected to a condenser 6, the outlet of which is connected to the inlet 8 of a three-way solenoid valve 7.
- the two outlets 9 and 10 of solenoid valve 7 are connected respectively to two parallel branches of the circuit.
- a branch connected to outlet 9 comprises a capillary 11 and an evaporator 12 disposed in the cold-storage compartment of the refrigerating apparatus. This compartment is usually to be kept at a temperature of about +5 °C.
- Another branch connected to outlet 10 comprises a capillary 13 and is connected to the first branch downstream of evaporator 12. Downstream of this connection the circuit includes another evaporator 14 disposed in the freezer compartment of the refrigerating apparatus, which is usually to be kept at a temperature of about -24 °C.
- valves 7 and 15 are effective to divide the circuit into a high-pressure portion comprising compressor 5 and condenser 6, and a low- pressure portion including the two evaporators 12 and 14.
- valve 7 in accordance with the invention comprises a tubular body formed with the two outlets 9 and 10 facing in opposite directions, and inlet 8 extending at right angles to outlets 9 and 10. Disposed in the tubular body are two closure members 16 and 17 cooperating with outlets 9 and 10, respectively, and a compression spring 18 inserted therebetween. Associated to each closure member 16, 17 is a respective electromagnetic coil 19, 20.
- valve 15 and valve 7 and including compressor 5 and condenser 6 contains the refrigerant fluid at relatively high temperature and pressure.
- solenoid valve 7 is of course solely given by way of example.
- the control of the valve may in fact be accomplished by an electronic device (e. g. PTC or the like) instead of by electromechanical means, it being understood that such valve be capable of controlling the different operating modes described, and in particular of simultaneously closing both of its outlets.
