    Abstract: A method for monitoring gas pressure in a heat rejecting heat exchanger in a cooling circuit is disclosed. The present capacity of one or more compressors in the cooling circuit compared to a maximum capacity of the one or more compressors is established. If the present capacity of the one or more compressors is at least at a level corresponding to a pre-set percentage of the maximum capacity, a period of time elapsed from a point in time where the compressor capacity reached said level is established. If the established period of time has a duration which is longer than a pre-set period of time, then it is concluding that the cooling medium is in a gas loop operational mode, allowing an operator or a controller to adjust operation of the cooling plant such that the cooling medium is brought out of the gas loop operational mode.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a refrigerator. The method comprises the steps of establishing a time interval of a certain duration, a first use of the refrigerator starting a first time interval, starting a subsequent time interval based on the start of the first time interval, and subtracted a time difference. The subsequent time interval subtracted a time difference is being used for starting a cool-down period of the subsequent time interval. The invention also relates to a control unit for the refrigerator and to a refrigerator with such control unit.

    Abstract: A magnetic valve (1) in which a valve housing (2), an armature tube (3), an inlet connection (4) and an outlet connection (5) form a single valve part is provided. An armature (9) made from a soft magnetic material is arranged movably inside the armature tube (3). A coil (16) is arranged externally to the armature tube (3) in such a manner that the armature tube (3) and the armature (9) are arranged inside the windings of the coil (16). A valve closing element (10) is connected to the armature (9) and is movable between a position in which it abuts a valve seat (8) and positions in which it does not abut the valve seat 8, thereby closing and opening the valve (1). In one embodiment, the flow path through the valve (1) from the inlet opening (6) to the outlet opening (7) does not pass through the windings of the coil (16). In another embodiment, the armature tube (3) comprises a closed end part (3a).

    Abstract: A method for coordinating operation between at least two groups of compressors in a cooling circuit is disclosed. A first group of compressors forms part of a low temperature (LT) part of the cooling circuit and a second group of compressors forms part of a high temperature (MT) part of the cooling circuit. Each of the compressor groups comprises one or more compressors, and each of the compressor groups comprises a controller, the controllers being capable of exchanging signals. In the case that the LT compressor group needs one or more of the LT compressors to start operation, it is investigated whether or not one or more of the MT compressors is/are operating. If this is the case, one or more of the LT compressors is/are allowed to start operation. If it is not the case, the suction pressure in the MT part of the cooling circuit is established, e.g. measured, and compared to a lower and an upper limit of a neutral pressure zone, said neutral pressure zone lying within an operating pressure zone of the MT part of the cooling circuit. Finally, the MT compressors and the LT compressors are operated based on the comparing step. The cooling system may be a cascade system or a booster system.

    Abstract: A method is provided for adjusting several parallel connected heat exchangers supplied with a coolant medium. The aim of the invention is to simplify the adjustment. For this purpose, the method consists in a) determining a specific value of heat requirement for each heat exchanger in a predetermined time period; b) comparing the specific values of all heat exchangers therebetween and c) in modifying the adjustment of the heat exchanger having the lowest specific value of heat requirement in such a way that the heat requirement thereof is increased.
