Abstract: A refrigeration appliance includes at least one warm storage compartment and one cold storage compartment and a refrigeration device having at least two mutually parallel evaporators connected in series with a compressor, a condenser, and a shut-off valve between the condenser and evaporators in a refrigerant circuit so that each evaporator cools one storage compartment. An operating method for the refrigeration appliance includes the steps a) deciding whether a need for cooling has newly occurred in the warm storage compartment, and, if so, b) operating the compressor while the shut-off valve is closed to cause refrigerant to back up in the condenser, c) opening the shut-off valve and supplying the evaporator of the warm storage compartment with the backed up refrigerant. In step b) the mass flow rate through the compressor is estimated and the time for performing step c) is determined by using the estimated mass flow rate.

Abstract: A refrigeration device includes a housing which surrounds a storage compartment; and a container mounted in the storage compartment and including a drawer and a cover, with the cover being height-adjustable between a closed position of the drawer and an open position. The cover is guided on an obliquely sloping path between the closed position and the open position by ramps adjacent to corners of the cover.

Abstract: A refrigerator is provided having an outer housing and an inner housing which is at a distance from the outer housing and is surrounded by the latter, with the hollow space produced between the outer housing and the inner housing being filled with foam for insulation purposes. An inner chamber is surrounded by the inner housing and is cooled by the circulation of cooling air supplied to the inner chamber by means of a cooling-air duct and is arranged between the outer housing and the inner housing. A method is provided for forming the cooling-air duct from a shaped part that has insulating material and a closed rear-wall element and rests on an outer face of the inner housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a housing that houses a coiled conduit for a first heat transfer fluid with the housing open at two front sides and surrounding the coil. A wall of the housing that extends in the longitudinal direction of the coil is provided with passages.

Abstract: A refrigerator with a condenser and a fan for the forced ventilation of the condenser, the refrigerator including a fan control circuit for controlling the fan to provide variable throughflow of air from the fan and an assembly for measuring temperature in operative communication with the fan control circuit for operating the fan in a temperature-dependent manner.

Abstract: A refrigerating device is subdivided by a first partition into a storage zone and an air distribution zone. An air supply inlet and an air outlet open into the air distribution zone, and a plurality of holes are formed in the partition for letting air through from the air distribution zone into the storage zone and vice versa.

Abstract: In a refrigerator having a thermally insulating housing which surrounds a storage chamber and having a refrigerant circuit which comprises a compressor, a condenser, a restrictor and an evaporator which cools the storage chamber, the restrictor is arranged at least partially on a side wall of the housing.

Abstract: A refrigeration machine for a domestic refrigerator includes a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator, which are connected to form a refrigerant circuit, wherein a stop valve is arranged in a refrigerant path from the condenser to the evaporator.

Abstract: A refrigerator is provided that includes a chilled interior and a cooling circuit for a coolant, the cooling circuit being provided with an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser. The refrigerator further includes a controller as well as a fan for cooling the condenser and the compressor. The controller controls the fan to operate during an idle phase of the compressor.

Abstract: A refrigeration device includes an interior that is divided up into two refrigeration zones with each refrigeration zone having an evaporator and a compressor for supplying the evaporator with a refrigerant. A control for operating the compressors can be operated in different modes of operation depending on predetermined conditions. In a normal mode, the at least two compressors are exclusively operated at different times.

Abstract: A water filter for a refrigeration appliance has a housing (1), which contains a filter material and has a fitting for mounting in a filter socket (2) at one end. A grip portion (8) is attached to an opposite end (3) of the housing (1).

Abstract: A refrigerating device is provided that includes an evaporator and a compartment that is cooled by air circulating air from and to the evaporator, wherein a diffusion layer can be displaced between a first position, in which air passage openings distributed in a wall separating the compartment from a distribution chamber are covered by the diffusion layer, and a second position, in which the diffusion layer is positioned so as to allow air to flow from the evaporator through the distribution chamber into the compartment while bypassing the diffusion layer.

Abstract: A refrigeration device includes a housing which surrounds a storage compartment; and a container mounted in the storage compartment and including a drawer and a cover, with the cover being height-adjustable between a closed position of the drawer and an open position.
