Patent number: 9360238Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus includes an insulation housing including an inner box. The inner box has side plates and first and second refrigerating circuits including a first evaporation pipe and a second evaporation pipe, respectively. The first and second evaporation pipes are disposed on the side plates. The first and second evaporation pipes are bent so as to form a first comb shape and a second comb shape, respectively. The first and the second comb shapes form a nested structure. The first and second evaporation pipes include a first straight portion and a second straight portion extending the horizontal direction, respectively. A first distance between the first straight portion of the first evaporation pipe and the first straight portion of the second evaporation pipe and a second distance between the first straight portion of the second evaporation pipe and the second straight portion of the second evaporation pipe are substantially equal.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Panasonic Healthcare Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventors: Susumu Kobayashi, Jiro Yuzawa, Satoshi Okuda, Hidetoshi Shinya, Tadahisa Saga

Publication number: 20110023532Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus includes a refrigerating cycle including a compressor, a condenser, a flow divider, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a decompressing device, and an evaporator. The refrigerant cycle has sealed therein a mixed refrigerant obtained by mixing at least first to third refrigerants with different evaporation temperatures. The first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger each includes a double pipe to form a first flow passage in an inner pipe of the double pipe, a second flow passage in an outer pipe of the double pipe, and an intermediate port in a piping connecting between the second flow passage of the first heat exchanger and the second flow passage of the second heat exchanger. A high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor is cooled by the condenser to liquefy the first refrigerant having a high evaporation temperature into a liquid refrigerant.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2010Publication date: February 3, 2011Applicant: SANYO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Susumu Kobayashi, Jiro Yuzawa, Satoshi Okuda, Hidetoshi Shinya, Tadahisa Saga
