Abstract (en)

The refrigeration apparatus comprises a refrigeration circuit governed by control means (17) to cool down a compartment (4) that is accessible through a door (22). Said control means are driven by a plurality of sensors (12-16) and are in turn adapted to drive the functional component parts (6, 9, 10) of the apparatus in view of carrying out evaporator (7) defrost phases. The control means (17) determine the beginning of said defrost phases according to a first or a second mode of operation when a condition in which the door (22) is substantially opened or is substantially closed, respectively, is detected. <IMAGE>
