Publication number: 20220404071Abstract: A refrigeration appliance, especially domestic refrigeration appliance, includes a compressor, a condenser, at least a first evaporator, a suction line from the first evaporator to the compressor, at least one heat exchanger switchable between condenser operation and evaporator operation, and a valve arrangement switching the heat exchanger between an evaporator operating state, having a switchable heat exchanger inlet connected to the condenser through a first choke point and a switchable heat exchanger outlet connected to the first evaporator, and a condenser operating state, having the switchable heat exchanger outlet connected to the evaporator through a second choke point. A first supply line for supplying refrigerant in the evaporator operating state and a second supply line, separate therefrom, for supplying refrigerant in the condenser operating state, are associated with the switchable heat exchanger. Only the first supply line is connected with the suction line, forming an external heat exchanger.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2020Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Niels Liengaard, Andreas Babucke, Clemens Mack, Berthold Pflomm

Publication number: 20120000232Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus includes a self-contained refrigeration module having an at least largely complete refrigeration circuit for cooling a refrigeration chamber of a household refrigerator and having a separate housing. At least one evaporator is arranged in the refrigeration circuit, wherein the housing is provided with apertures for passage of air cooled by the evaporator and air to be cooled by the evaporator. The refrigeration apparatus can be used for a household refrigerator which includes a refrigerating chamber housing having at least one refrigerating chamber. A door leaf is arranged on the refrigerating chamber housing for closing the refrigerating chamber. The refrigerating chamber housing has apertures in communication with the apertures of the housing of the refrigeration module for passage of air cooled by the evaporator into the refrigerating chamber and for passage of air from the refrigerating chamber to the evaporator.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2010Publication date: January 5, 2012Applicant: BSH BOSCH UND SIEMENS HAUSGERÄTE GMBHInventors: Detlef Cieslik, Christian Hein, Berthold Pflomm

Publication number: 20110232326Abstract: An evaporator for a refrigerator, in particular a domestic refrigerator, includes at least one refrigerant channel and at least one plate. The plate has a receptacle, arranged in a space defined by the refrigerant channel, for positioning a tube. The receptacle is formed by at least one projection, which forms a longitudinal guide of the tube. The projection is formed on the at least one plate and defines a channel having a channel wall upon which the tube bears at least partially in a longitudinal direction. The tube is, for example, a protective tube for a temperature sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2009Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: BSH BOSCH UND SIEMENS HAUSGERÄTE GMBHInventors: Berthold Pflomm, Bernd Schlögel
