  • Publication number: 20080289346
    Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigeration circuit having a mono- or multi-component refrigerant circulating therein, said refrigeration circuit comprising at least one expansion device. According to the invention, the expansion device is provided in the form of at least two valves (a, b, c, d) connected in parallel. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of operating such a refrigeration circuit. Said method is characterized in that, in case of a defect of one of the valves (a, b, c, d) connected in parallel, said defective valve is taken out of operation and the or at least one of the additional valves ensures the control operation of the refrigeration circuit.
