Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To let cooling air flow into a condenser efficiently to promote cooling, by providing a fan which forcibly cools the condenser which is placed inside a duct, and by making the gap between the duct and the condenser narrower than the fin pitch of the condenser. SOLUTION: A machinery room 12 is partitioned by a partitioning wall 3 and a rear face cover and provided at the lower part of a refrigerator 1. In the machinery room 12, a compressor 5, an evaporating dish 14, and a cooling fan 6 are installed. When the cooling fan 6 is operated, outside air from a suction opening 17 cools down a condenser 16 of a suction duct 15, flows into the machinery room 12 from an ejection hole 24, cools down the compressor 5 via the evaporating dish 14 and the cooling fan 6, and is discharged outside the refrigerator from a discharge opening 13. Since the gap between the suction duct 15 and the condenser 16 is made narrower than the fin pitch of the condenser 16, the flow of the outside air of the suction duct 15 flows into the condenser 16 without diverting to the gap. As a result, most of the outside air which has flown in from the suction opening 17 can flow into the condenser 16, and efficient cooling of the condenser is permitted.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the decrease of the quantity of the flowing-in outer air from the inlet hole of a duct and to prevent the shortage of condensing capacity to be caused by the decrease of the cooling efficiency of a condenser by removing dust adhered to the inlet hole and the condenser automatically together with the opening and closing of a drawer type door. SOLUTION: Outer air enters from the inlet hole 7 of a duct 2 passing through a decorative cover 12 by the operation a fan installed to the inside of a machine room 3, the outer air which has entered inside the duct 2 heat exchanges with a condenser 13 inside the duct 2 and the dust entering together with the outer air by ventilation adheres to the intake hole 7 and the upstream side of the condenser 13. The temperature of a refrigerating compartment 10 is lower than the outer air temperature so that the outer air flows in when the drawer type door 11 is opened and cold air flows out when the door 11 is closed compressing the refrigerating compartment 10. The pulsation of the air-flow between the outer air and the refrigerating compartment 10 caused by the opening and closing of the door 11 is conducted to the inlet hole 7 of the duct 2 and the condenser 13 and removes the dust adhered to them.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an electric power consumption of a refrigerator, wherein a predetermined temperature in the refrigerator is controlled such that the predetermined temperature is altered to take a higher predetermined temperature during a time period in which a power demand peaks thus lowering an operating efficiency of the refrigerator during this time slot. SOLUTION: Except for a time period in which a power demand peaks, a compressor 4 and a cooling fan 19 are operated based on a predetermined temperature in a refrigerating room so as to refrigerate the inside of the refrigerator. On the other hand, during the time period in which the power demand peaks, the compressor 4 and the refrigerating fan 19 are operated based on a second predetermined temperature which is higher than the previous predetermined temperature so as to refrigerate the inside of the refrigerator. Namely, when the temperature in a refrigerating room is not higher than the second predetermined temperature, a signal is fed to a CPU 46 from a second temperature detecting means 51 so as to turn off a relay and stop the operation of the compressor 4 and the cooling fan 19. When the second temperature detecting means 51 detects that the temperature in the refrigerating room is higher than the second predetermined temperature, the CPU 46 makes the relay turn on so as to make the compressor 4 and the cooling fan 19 operate thus refrigerating the inside of the refrigerator. In this manner, during the time period in which the power demand is high, the temperature control is carried out based on the second predetermined temperature so that an operating efficiency of the compressor and the cooling fan can be lowered thus enabling a reduction of an electric power consumption.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable oil to be easily returned back to a compressor by a method wherein an evaporator and a header are heated, a temperature of the evaporator is detected, and an oil returning is carried out for controlling a low temperature part-heating means and a compressor by applying a sensing output of an evaporator temperature heating means. SOLUTION: During operation of a compressor 1, a temperature of an evaporator 4 or a header 5 is decreased, and reaches a predetermined temeprature. Then, an evaporator temperature sensing means 10 detects that the temperature is less than a predetermined temperature and outputs it to an oil returning control means 11. The oil returning control means 11 outputs a signal to the low temperature part heating means 9 under a state in which the compressor 1 is being operated. The low temperature part heating means 9 starts to heat the evaporator 4 and the header 5 and further starts an oil returning operation. Temperatures of the evaporator 4 and the header 5 are started to increase and reach a predetermined second temperature. Freezer oil 7 stagnating at the low temperature part is improved in its flowability due to a reduction in viscosity as its temperature is increased and it is returned back to the compressor 1.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To return a refrigerating machine oil directly to a suction piping of a compressor by a method wherein a header is arranged to be a double tube and an insertion pipe is inserted into an internal space thereof to connect an outlet piping of an evaporator to a throttle part at a lower part of the header. CONSTITUTION: In a refrigerating cycle in which a compressor, a condenser, an expanding mechanism, an evaporator and a header 5 are connected in a loop to circulate a refrigerant and a refrigerating machine oil having no or scarce mutual solubility with the refrigerant, a header 5 is so arranged to be a double tube comprising an outer tube 9 and an inner tube 10. An insertion pipe 13 branched to be extended to the internal space 12 of the header 5 is inserted to a throttle part 11 at a lower part of the inner tube 10 and an outlet piping 14 of the evaporator is connected at a lower part of the inner tube 10 while a suction piping 6 of the compressor at an upper part thereof. Thus, the refrigerating machine oil 7 is kept from flowing into the internal space 12 within the header 5 to be returned directly to the suction piping 6 of the compressor thereby enabling favorably maintaining of the lubrication of sliding parts of the compressor.
