Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hybrid no-frost refrigerator comprising a sequential refrigeration circuit having a condenser and at least two evaporators downstream a valve configured to direct refrigerant flow to any of the evaporators.
- no-frost refrigerator we mean any refrigeration appliance where a flow of air is directed towards an evaporator for creating a flow of cooled air which is used to cool at least one refrigeration cavity or compartment (different from the so called “static” evaporator where there is no forced flow of air).
- the electrical resistor used to defrost the evaporator has got a major impact on declared energy consumption, being the device with the higher absorption power in the entire appliance.
- calrod, distributed or radiant heaters are usually provided to warm-up the evaporator, to clean it from ice when in blocked condition (with reduced efficiency as a consequence).
- That kind of electrical heater is usually provided with a bimetal sensor, to indicate the end of defrost period.
- the power consumption of such a heater is usually much higher than the one of the compressor itself, creating an absorption peak during defrost (that is one of the reason for the higher declared energy consumption of no-frost appliance with respect to static ones).
- the technical solution according to the invention is suitable only for the so-called sequential thermodynamic vapor compression circuits.
- a sequential circuit a three-way electrovalve is used to divert the refrigerant flow to alternatively either one or the other evaporator or to both of them, which are linked in parallel configuration downstream the condenser.
- the solution according to the invention makes use of an additional condenser coil, presents upstream and in series with the condenser and wrapped around the evaporator to be defrosted (in a hybrid appliance, the evaporator of the freezer).
- the coil is fed with refrigerant liquid at high temperature only when required, thanks to an second three-way electrovalve (eventually driven even a bimetal sensor), which normally manages the bypass of the additional coil itself.
- an second three-way electrovalve (eventually driven even a bimetal sensor), which normally manages the bypass of the additional coil itself.
- a refrigeration circuit 10 comprises a compressor 12, a condenser 14, a first three-way valve 16 for directing the refrigerant flow towards a first evaporator 18 of a freezer compartment FC or towards a second evaporator 20 of a refrigeration compartment RC or to both evaporators.
- the circuit 10 comprises, upstream the condenser 14, a second three-way valve 22 for diverting the refrigerant flow towards an auxiliary condenser loop 24 in series with the condenser 14 and carrying a portion 24a in heat exchange relationship with the evaporator 18 of the freezer compartment FC.
- the circuit 10 comprises also capillary tubes 26 and 28 upstream the first evaporator 18 and the second evaporator 20 respectively, as well as accumulators 30 and 32 downstream the evaporators, such accumulators assuring a correct balance of the refrigerant load when working conditions change.
- the first valve 16 is driven by the electronic control unit (not shown) according to the actual temperatures in the freezer FC and in the refrigeration chamber RC and it can also direct the refrigerant flow to both evaporators 18 and 20 simultaneously.
- the second valve 22 is moved to the "D" position in order to direct hot fluid in the auxiliary condenser loop 24 towards the heat exchanger 24a.
- the first valve 16 is driven by the control unit in the "B" position so that the refrigeration compartment is still cooled.
- the first valve 16 cannot be maintained in a configuration where both evaporators are fed with refrigerant fluid.
- the auxiliary condenser loop 24 is activated, the compressor 12 is maintained in its "on" configuration.
- the fact that in the example shown in the figures the auxiliary condenser loop is placed upstream the condenser 14 is not to be intended as a limitation of the present invention.
- An auxiliary condenser loop positioned downstream the condenser could have different advantages but still having a beneficial effect on the thermodynamic cycle.
- An upstream position gives as a main advantage a decrease of the average condensation temperature, with an increase of the compression efficiency, while a downstream position gives a sub-cooling of refrigerant fluid upstream the capillary tube 28 of the fresh food compartment RC with an increase of cooling capacity and a decrease of refrigerant flow noises.
- the portion 24a of the auxiliary condenser loop 24 and the first evaporator 18 are preferably made as a single component, preferably made of metal, where the first evaporator 18 and said heat exchange portion 24a of the auxiliary condenser loop 24 are integrated. Roll-bond technology can be used for producing such integrated heat exchanges which is positioned inside the freezer compartment FC.
- FIG. 1 refers to a fully no-frost refrigerator where either the evaporator 18 of the freezer compartment FC and the evaporator 20 of the refrigeration compartment RC are no-frost evaporators.
- the major difference between the solution of figure 1 and figure 2 is the use of a four-way valve 33 which can direct the refrigerant flow, for instance upstream the condenser 14, toward a first auxiliary condenser loop 24 substantially identical to the auxiliary condenser loop of the first embodiment, or to a second auxiliary condenser loop 34 which directs hot gas towards a portion 34a in heat-exchange relationship with the second evaporator 20 of the refrigeration compartment RC.
- the first valve 16 when a defrost cycle is started, diverts the refrigerant flow towards the evaporator which is not subjected to defrost.
