  • Patent number: 9494345
    Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigeration circuit having a mono- or multi-component refrigerant circulating therein, said refrigeration circuit comprising, in the direction of flow, a condenser, a collecting container, a relief device connected upstream of an evaporator, an evaporator and a compressor unit with single-stage compression. According to the invention, there is an intermediate relief device arranged between the condenser and the collecting container. Furthermore, there is disclosed a method of operating a refrigeration device in which pressure relief of the refrigerant to an (intermediate) pressure of 5 to 40 bar is effected in the intermediate relief device arranged between the condenser and the collecting container.

  • Publication number: 20070220910
    Abstract: A refrigerating system comprises at least one refrigerating consumer provided with at least one evaporator, at least one supply line and at least one withdrawal line which enable the coolant or the coolant mixture to be supplied to and/or withdrawn from the refrigerating consumer(s). Expansion elements are associated with the evaporator(s). The expansion elements are embodied as modified expansion valves and/or as modified linear expansion machines or the by-pass lines are associated therewith, and a modified linear compressor or a traditional compressor, which comprises a by-pass line is associated with each refrigerating consumer. The modified expansion valve(S) and/or the modified linear expansion machine(s) and/or the modified linear compressor(s) have a working position which enables a through-flow without a considerable drop in pressure.
