Abstract: A compressor for a refrigeration circuit of a domestic refrigerator includes a piston being moveable within a compression chamber of a cylinder for compressing a refrigerant. The piston is contactlessly mounted in radial direction relative to the cylinder by a gas pressure bearing formed from the refrigerant. An inlet valve regulates a volume flow of uncompressed refrigerant from a low-pressure inlet of the compressor into the compression chamber and an outlet valve regulates a volume flow of compressed refrigerant from the compression chamber to a high-pressure outlet of the compressor. A stop valve between the low-pressure inlet and the high-pressure outlet prevents a backflow of refrigerant from the high-pressure outlet to the low-pressure inlet when the compressor is deactivated. A domestic refrigerator including a compressor and a method for operating a compressor for a refrigeration circuit of a domestic refrigerator are also provided.

Abstract: A linear compressor for a domestic appliance has a piston that can move in the longitudinal direction of a cylinder between top and bottom dead center positions. A piston outer surface can be contactlessly supported against a corresponding cylinder inner surface owing to the formation of a gas thrust bearing in the radial direction of the cylinder. The piston outer surface and the cylinder inner surface each have a martensitic structure in specified regions. There is also provided a domestic refrigeration appliance with a refrigerant circuit and a compressor.

Abstract: An aerostatic bearing and a linear compressor that includes the aerostatic bearing. In an exemplary embodiment, the aerostatic bearing includes a guide element including holes, and a body structured to move along a surface of the guide element. The holes may include a first section close to the body, of which at least one part area features a cross-sectional surface substantially constant over its entire length which is smaller towards the body than another cross-sectional surface of an area away from the body. A method for producing a hole in an element, using a laser beam, for producing the aerostatic bearing is also disclosed.

Abstract: A housing for a refrigeration device is composed of an outer housing box that encloses an interior space, and at least one intermediate mounted shelf disposed in the interior space. The intermediate mounted shelf contains a pre-shaped core made of solid foam material, which is directly fastened on the inner wall of the housing box.
