Dual-controlled indirect cooling refrigerator-freezer using two capillary tubes and an air flow switching system.

Summary

The dual-controlled refrigeration system is devised to enhance the energy efficiency and basic performance of an indirect cooling household refrigerator-freezer. In order to alternately serve the fresh food and freezer compartment with a conventional simple refrigeration cycle, two capillary tubes and on/off valves are adopted. The air flow switching system, which is composed of two fans and dampers, is used to provide air flow for each compartment. The moter-driven on/off dampers are employed to switch the circulating path of air flowing through each compartment. Energy consumption was investigated.
