  • Patent number: 5182920
    Abstract: A condenser (2), an electronic expansion valve (5), an evaporator (6), and a motorized suction throttle valve (8) are connected in series with a compressor. When a capacity is increased, the electronic expansion valve (5) is controlled to be in a throttling direction and the motorized suction throttle valve (8) is controlled to be in an unthrottling direction in association with the control of the electronic expansion valve (5), and when a capacity is decreased, the electronic expansion valve (5) is controlled to be in an unthrottling direction and the motorized suction throttle valve (8) is controlled to be in a throttling direction in association with the control of the electronic expansion valve (5). While a capacity control of a compressor by a throttle control is been carried out, such associated control is made between the electronic expansion valve (5) and the motorized suction throttle valve (8), realizing a fine temperature control in a refrigerating machine without hunting.
