Patent number: 9377231Abstract: A refrigerating cycle apparatus and a method of operating the same are provided. For a refrigerating cycle having a plurality of compressors connected in series for multi-stage compression, an inner space of each compressor and a pipe of the refrigerating cycle may be connected via an oil collection pipe, and oil may be discharged into the refrigerating cycle by pressure reversal during a pressure balancing operation, so as to allow the discharged oil to be collected into a high-stage compressor or a low-stage compressor. Accordingly, an amount of oil may be uniformly maintained in each of the plurality of compressors to prevent losses due to friction and/or increases in power consumption due to a lack of oil in one or more of the compressors. The structure of a device and pipes for performing oil balancing between the compressors may be simplified to enhance efficiency of the compressors.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Minkyu Oh, Jangseok Lee, Myungjin Chung, Chanho Jeon, Sunam Chae, Juyeong Heo, Kwangwook Kim, Hoyoun Lee

Patent number: 9146046Abstract: A refrigerator and a driving method thereof are disclosed. A primary compressor and a secondary compressor can form independent cycles together with corresponding evaporators so as to reduce unnecessary power consumption. Also, a backflow prevention valve is installed between the primary and secondary compressors to prevent an increase in pressure of the secondary compressor, or an auxiliary heat exchanger is installed at the outlet side of a second evaporator with high temperature to allow heat exchange of an outlet side pipe of a first evaporator with low temperature so as to shift a load of a freezing chamber into a relatively large refrigerating chamber, thereby improving efficiency of the refrigerator. In addition, an oil separator or an oil collection pipe is installed at the outlet sides of the compressors or an oil balancing pipe and an oil balancing valve are installed between the compressors, so as to uniformly maintain an oil amount between the compressors.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2011Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Sunam Chae, Juyeong Heo, Sung Jhee, Chanho Jeon

Publication number: 20120023986Abstract: A refrigerator includes a heat transfer unit, which transfers heat generated from a machine room within a refrigerator main body to a periphery of a home bar so as to remove dew formed at the periphery of the home bar, and an insulating unit for surrounding an outer circumference of the heat transfer unit. The refrigerator further includes a heating unit installed to be thermally conductive with the heat transfer unit, and a non-conductive cover for covering the heat transfer unit and the heating unit. Consequently, waste heat generated from the machine room, other than a separate power supply unit, can be used to prevent dew formation at the periphery of the home bar, so as to remarkably reduce power consumption.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2011Publication date: February 2, 2012Inventors: Sunam Chae, Juyeong Heo, Sung Jhee, Chanho Jeon

Publication number: 20120023981Abstract: A refrigerator and a driving method thereof are disclosed. The number of vibration of each compressor, evaporation temperature of each evaporator, or an open time of a refrigerant switching valve is detected to determine whether the flow of refrigerant is biased so as to adjust a cooling capability of the compressor or an open value or open time of a refrigerant switching valve, thereby uniformly distributing the refrigerant into first and second evaporators. Accordingly, the refrigerator can be driven with an independent refrigeration cycle corresponding to a load of a freezing chamber or a refrigerating chamber, resulting in reduction of unnecessary power consumption of the refrigerator.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2011Publication date: February 2, 2012Inventors: Sunam CHAE, Hoyoun Lee, Sung Jhee, Chanho Jeon
