Summary

A HEAT PIPE, WHICH TRANSFERS HEAT FROM THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT OF THE FREEZER, MAKES A SECOND COMPRESSOR UNNECESSARY. IT CAN TRANSMIT A VERY HIGH HEAT FLOW WITH A SMALL TEMPERATURE GRADIENT BETWEEN CONDENSER AND EVAPORATOR. TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT IT IS NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO REDUCE THE HEAT TRANSPORT CAPABILITY OF THE HEAT PIPE. THIS CAN BE DONE BY LIMITING THE ACTION OF THE CONDENSER OR EVAPORATOR. IN THE FIRST CASE IT IS NECESSARY TO USE AN INERT BUFFER GAS, WHICH CAN BE TAKEN UP IN AN ADSORBENT (A ZEOLITE). IN THE SECOND CASE THE REFRIGERANT ITSELF IS ADSORBED IN A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ADSORBENT (SILICAGEL).
