Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator with a heat-insulating housing enclosing an interior and an evaporator arranged in the housing.
- moisture condenses on this evaporator from the interior, which in the course of time forms an ice layer which thermally insulates the evaporator from the interior to be cooled.
- This insulation affects the efficiency of the refrigerator, so that in order to maintain economical operation of the refrigerator, the ice layer must be defrosted from time to time.
- the object of the invention is to provide a refrigeration device which enables a reliable assessment of the amount of ice accumulated on an evaporator with simple and robust means, and to provide an operating method for such a refrigeration device.
- the invention uses the change in temperature distribution in the vicinity of the evaporator resulting from the presence of an ice layer. If the evaporator is ice-free, there is a largely unhindered heat flow in the vicinity of the evaporator, the temperature gradient is relatively flat, and the difference between the temperatures detected by the two sensors is small. However, if the flow of heat is hindered by an ice layer, a relatively steep temperature gradient results in the ice layer, which leads to greater differences between the temperatures detected by the two sensors than if both sensors are ice-free.
- one of the temperature sensors can be attached directly to the surface of the evaporator and the other at a distance from the surface. This ensures that at least the former reacts very quickly to a change in temperature of the evaporator, which occurs when the evaporator begins to be supplied with refrigerant again after a stationary phase.
- both temperature sensors it is also conceivable to place both temperature sensors at different but not disappearing distances from the surface of the evaporator.
- Such an arrangement is only slightly sensitive to ice layer thicknesses which are not sufficient to embed one of the temperature sensors; however, as soon as the boundary of the ice layer lies between the sensors, the temperature difference between them is very sensitive to a further increase in the layer thickness.
- the invention is applicable to refrigeration devices with an evaporator arranged directly in the interior or in thermal contact therewith.
- a preferred application of the invention are no-frost refrigeration devices, i.e. Refrigeration devices in which the evaporator is mounted in a channel communicating with the interior and can be heated for defrosting in this channel without necessarily also heating the interior.
- one of the temperature sensors is preferably attached to the surface of the evaporator and the other to an outlet of the channel opening into the interior.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic section through a refrigerator according to a first
- FIG. 2 shows the dependence of the temperature difference detected by the sensors on the thickness of the ice layer on the evaporator in the embodiment of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic detail of a second embodiment of a refrigeration device according to the invention.
- Fig. 4 shows the relationship between the ice layer thickness and temperature difference according to the second embodiment.
- Fig. 1 shows a highly schematic of a no-frost refrigerator according to a first embodiment of the invention.
- the refrigeration device comprises a heat-insulating housing 1, in which an interior 2 for receiving refrigerated goods and an evaporator chamber 5, which is separated from the interior 2 by an intermediate wall 3 and communicates with the interior 2 through openings 4 in the intermediate wall 3, is formed.
- the evaporator chamber 5 there is a plate-shaped evaporator 7 supplied with refrigerant by a refrigeration machine 6 and, in close contact with it, a defrost heater 8.
- the evaporator chamber 5 and the openings 4 are also referred to collectively as an air duct.
- a control circuit 10 controls the operation of the refrigerator 6 and a fan 11 attached to the upper opening 4 on the basis of a measurement signal from a temperature sensor (not shown) in the interior 2.
- the refrigerator 6 and fan 11 can each be operated simultaneously; it is preferred to switch the fan 11 on and off with a certain delay in relation to the refrigeration machine 6, so that when the refrigeration machine 6 is started up, the evaporator 7 is only given the opportunity to cool down before air is circulated and for residual coldness of the evaporator 7 after Switching off the refrigerator 6 can still be used.
- a first temperature sensor 12 is attached directly to a surface of the evaporator 7, which is swept by the air flow circulating through the air duct during operation of the fan 11 and on which moisture is consequently present precipitates from this air flow and over time forms an ice layer 13, shown as a loosely hatched area.
- a second temperature sensor 14 is mounted in the upper opening 4, from which air cooled in the evaporator chamber 5 flows back into the interior 2.
- the evaporator 7 is operated in a conventional manner at intervals, i.e. supplied with liquid refrigerant by the refrigerator 6.
- the control circuit 10 detects the difference between the temperatures measured by the sensors 12 and 14 in each case with a predetermined time delay from the start-up of the evaporator or at a point in time when the rate of change of the temperature detected by one of the temperature sensors 12, 14 has fallen below a limit value and therefore it can be assumed that the temperature distribution in the air duct is not too far from a stationary distribution.
- the difference between the temperatures detected by the temperature sensors 12, 14 at such a time is the lowest when the thickness of the ice layer is zero and it increases with the thickness of the ice layer.
- FIG. 2 represents the temperature difference ⁇ T as a function of the layer thickness d. If this temperature difference ⁇ T exceeds a limit value ⁇ Tmax, it is assumed that the ice layer 13 has exceeded a critical thickness dmax, so that the evaporator 7 needs to be defrosted. If this is the case, the control circuit 10 waits until the interior 2 has cooled down again to such an extent that the refrigerator 6 and the fan 11 can be switched off, and then closes a switch 9 via which the defrost heater 8 is supplied with current ,
- the period of time during which the switch 9 remains closed is predetermined and selected taking into account the power of the defrost heater 8 such that the amount of heat given off in this period must be sufficient to thaw the layer of ice 13.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows an enlarged detail from a refrigeration device according to a second embodiment of the invention. It differs from the embodiment of FIG. 1 only by the attachment of the temperature sensors 12 ', 14', so that the Refrigerator in its entirety does not have to be shown and described again.
- the two temperature sensors 12 ', 14' are held here on a carrier 15 made of a poorly heat-conducting material, which is fastened, for example glued, to a surface of the evaporator 7, on which an ice layer 13 can form.
- FIG. 4 shows the temperature difference ⁇ T between the sensors recorded under the same conditions as in the embodiment of FIG. 1 as a function of the thickness d of the ice layer.
- the thickness of the ice layer is smaller than the distance d1 of the temperature sensor 12 'from the surface of the evaporator 7, both temperature sensors are exposed to the air flow in the evaporator chamber 5 and their temperature is essentially determined by that of the air flow. Since the distance of the second temperature sensor 14 'from the evaporator 7 is greater than that of the first sensor 12', the second sensor is at least slightly warmer than the first.
- the layer of ice 13 begins to grow beyond the first sensor 12 ', it affects the temperature balance between the sensors, and the temperature of the sensor 12' is determined more than before by the temperature of the evaporator 7, as can be seen from a kink in FIG Curve of Fig. 4 at the thickness dl
- the temperature difference ⁇ T now begins to grow rapidly with the layer thickness d.
- the temperature difference which corresponds to the critical layer thickness dmax, can have a different value ⁇ Tmax 'than in the embodiment of FIG. 1. Since a large slope of the curve of FIG. 4 can be realized in the vicinity of dmax, an accurate and reproducible detection is possible the critical layer thickness dmax possible.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un appareil frigorifique pourvu d'une carcasse thermoisolante (1), enfermant un compartiment intérieur (2), ainsi que d'un évaporateur (7) installé dans la carcasse (1) et à la surface duquel une couche de givre (13) se forme lorsque ledit appareil est en service. Selon cette invention, deux capteurs de température (12, 14) sont placés dans le voisinage de l'évaporateur (7) de sorte que, pour une épaisseur donnée de la couche de givre (13), seul un des capteurs de température (12) est encastré dans cette couche de givre (13). Un circuit de surveillance (10), connecté aux deux capteurs de température (12, 14), est conçu pour décider si un dégivrage de l'évaporateur (7) est nécessaire ou non, en s'appuyant sur une différence entre des valeurs de température enregistrées par les capteurs de température (12, 14), et pour fournir un signal de sortie indiquant le résultat de sa décision. Un processus de dégivrage de l'évaporateur peut être déclenché de façon automatique sur la base de ce signal de sortie.
