Thereby, while being able to prevent the frost residue of a cooler, the useless temperature rise of a storage chamber can be prevented.
- the refrigerator of the present invention includes a first door and a second door, and an opening of the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber. And a door opening / closing detection means for detecting opening and closing, and the interval until the next defrosting mode is controlled by the integrated opening time of the first door and the second door from the end of the defrosting mode. It is configured.
- This configuration makes it possible to adjust the defrost interval by predicting the amount of frost formation based on the combination of the door opening time and the number of off-cycle cooling modes or the time. Thereby, while being able to prevent the frost residue of a cooler, the useless temperature rise of a storage chamber can be prevented.
- the refrigerator of the present invention is configured to include humidity detection means for detecting the humidity around the refrigerator, and to control the interval until the next defrosting mode according to the humidity detected by the humidity detection means. .
- This configuration makes it possible to adjust the defrosting interval by predicting the amount of frost formation based on the combination of the humidity around the refrigerator, the number or time of the off-cycle cooling mode, the number of times the door is opened and closed, or the total opening time. Thereby, while being able to prevent the frost residue of a cooler, the useless temperature rise of a storage chamber can be prevented.
- the refrigerator of the present invention is provided with first temperature adjusting means and second temperature adjusting means for setting the temperatures of the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber, and the first temperature adjusting means and the second temperature adjusting means. The interval until the next defrosting mode is controlled by the set temperature of the temperature adjusting means.
- the defrosting interval can be adjusted by predicting the amount of frost formation by a combination of the temperature setting of the refrigerator, the humidity around the refrigerator, the number or time of the off-cycle cooling mode, and the number of times the door is opened or closed or the total opening time. .
- the frost residue of a cooler the useless temperature rise of a storage chamber can be prevented.
- the refrigerator according to the present invention has a plurality of dew-proof pipes connected in parallel to the downstream side of the main condenser via the flow path switching valve, so that the dew-proof pipes can be used depending on the installation environment and operation state of the refrigerator. Since the resulting pressure loss and thermal load can be adjusted arbitrarily, it can be applied to other refrigeration application products such as commercial refrigerators.
- the refrigerator according to the present invention is housed in the refrigerator compartment in the refrigerator having the off-cycle cooling mode and the off-cycle differential mode in which the refrigerator compartment is cooled while the refrigeration cycle is stopped in addition to the FC cooling mode and the PC cooling mode.
- the off-cycle differential time can be adjusted appropriately, so that it can also be applied to other refrigerated products such as commercial refrigerators.
- the refrigerator according to the present invention in addition to the FC cooling mode and the PC cooling mode, appropriately secures the PC cooling operation time in the refrigerator having the off-cycle cooling mode for cooling the refrigerator compartment while the refrigeration cycle is stopped. Since the temperature change in the refrigerator compartment can be suppressed, it can be applied to other refrigerator-freezer products such as commercial refrigerators.
- the refrigerator according to the present invention realizes the simultaneous cooling mode only in an overload condition in a refrigerator having an off-cycle cooling mode for cooling the refrigerator compartment while the refrigeration cycle is stopped.
- the temperature rise of the refrigerator compartment or freezer compartment under overload conditions can be suppressed, so that it can be applied to other refrigerator-freezer application products such as commercial refrigerators.
- this invention can provide the refrigerator which cools a storage room efficiently by changing the space

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un cycle de réfrigération comprenant au moins un compresseur (19), un évaporateur (20) et un condensateur et prévu à l'intérieur d'un boîtier. Le condensateur comprend un condensateur principal à apport d'air froid pulsé (21), une valve de commutation de passage (3) raccordée au côté en aval du condensateur principal (21), et un condensateur auxiliaire raccordé au côté en aval de la valve de commutation de passage (3). Le condensateur auxiliaire comprend une pluralité de conduits anti-condensation (1, 2) raccordés en parallèle, et un fluide frigorigène circule en parallèle à la pluralité de conduits anti-condensation (1, 2) lorsque le cycle de réfrigération est actionné dans des conditions de charge élevée.
