Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a refrigerator wherein the foodstuff in the fresh food compartment is prevented from freezing when the ambient temperature is low.
- In cases when the ambient temperature is low, for example in cold ambient conditions where the temperature drops below 5 °C, the temperature of the fresh food compartment may drop below 0 °C and the foodstuff may freeze. Furthermore, when the ambient temperature is between -15 °C and +5 °C, the temperature of the freezer compartment is expected to be below -15 °C under old ambient conditionsi In the refrigerator, the cooling system operates to cool the freezer compartment but since the refrigerant passes through the evaporator in the fresh food compartment, and the refrigeration system try to cool the fresh food compartment which is already cooler than normal due to the ambient conditions. Thus, in cold environments, the fresh food compartment may have to be heated. In some embodiments, an electrical heater is operated in the fresh food compartment. In this case, energy is consumed both to cool and to heat the fresh food compartment, and the electricity consumption increases.
