Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the amount of circulation of a refrigerant in a cooling system for switching cooling a cold room and a freezing room, and to improve efficiency. SOLUTION: A closed loop is formed by a compressor 1, a condenser 2, a first capillary 7, and a first evaporator 3. Then, a second capillary 8 and a second evaporator 5 are connected so that the first capillary 7 and the first evaporator 3 are in parallel to switch the flow of the refrigerant by channel control means 10 and 11. When switching from the cooling of a freezing room 6 by the second evaporator 5 to the cooling of a cold room 4 by the first evaporator, the compressor 1 is operated while the channel control means 10 and 11 are closed down for specific time, and then the cold room 4 starts to be cooled, thus rapidly forcing out the refrigerant staying in the second evaporator toward the side of the compressor 1 and hence cooling the cold room 4 efficiently.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit the improvement of reliability by a method wherein the amount of refrigerant for a cooling system for cooling a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber independently mutually is reduced and the efficiency of the cooling system is improved while the extreme low-pressure operation of a compressor is prevented. SOLUTION: In a refrigerator, a compressor 1 is operated (pump down) and a second fan 15 is operated immediately before switching from the cooling of a freezing chamber 6 into the cooling of a refrigerating chamber 4 and immediately before cooling the refrigerating chamber 4 upon starting the compressor 1 for a predetermined period of time under a condition that both of a first opening and closing valve 10 and a second opening and closing valve 11 are closed. According to this method, refrigerant, staying in a second evaporator 5, is purged into the side (high pressure side) of a condenser 2 and, thereafter, the first opening and closing valve 10 is opened to start the cooling of the refrigerating chamber 4.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To save energy by canceling a defrosting operation and setting a normal cooling operation only when a temperature change rate between the temperature at the time of starting the defrosting operation and the temperature after a lapse of a given time from the starting of defrosting operation is larger than a predetermined value. SOLUTION: An evaporator 3 is monitored by a temperature sensor 17 which constitutes temperature detecting means and is arranged in a space located above and at a right side of the evaporator 3. In response to an output of the temperature sensor 17, the temperature change of the evaporator 3 within a given time is calculated by temperature calculating means 18. It is judged whether the calculated result falls within a predetermined temperature difference or not. In such a judgment, only when the calculated result exceeds the predetermined temperature difference, a defrosting switch 19 is turned off so that a defrosting mode is canceled and an operation returns to a normal operation mode. Due to such a construction, electric energy which becomes necessary for feeding electricity to a defrosting heater 6 and electric energy for cooling the heat generation rate of the defrosting heater 6 can be reduced thus enabling an energy saving.
