  • Patent number: 11280536
    Abstract: A method of controlling the temperature in cavities of a refrigerator (10) cooled by a refrigeration circuit having a compressor (18) and an evaporator (32) includes the steps of: monitoring the duty cycle of the compressor (18); determining whether the duty cycle is below a threshold; determining whether the temperature of the evaporator (32) is above a threshold; and if the duty cycle is below the threshold and if the evaporator temperature is above a threshold, activating the refrigeration circuit to start cooling of at least one of the refrigerator cavities. A refrigeration appliance (10) with a controller that activates the refrigeration circuit based on the monitored duty cycle of the compressor (18) and the evaporator temperature is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20130065502
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method of temperature equalization applied to the door (12, 24, 30) of electrical home appliances by means of the circulation of air within the freezing compartment (23), the freezer compartment (11) or the refrigeration compartment (16), as may be the case, in order to eliminate regions wherein the air stands still. The said circulation comprises the forced moving of the air between at least one air inlet opening (34) and at least one air outlet opening (15, 25, 35, 36), the said forced moving being provided by the action of at least one ventilation fan (13, 26, 37), installed in the air inlet opening or in the air outlet opening. The said openings are positioned in regions of different temperatures within the compartment, and are interconnected by means for conducting the airflow (14, 27, 34), which means may be provided by means of ducts.
