Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007000042A1] A refrigerator (10) or a freezer comprises a primary refrigeration system (11) which is augmented with a passive secondary refrigeration loop (15) having a condenser (30) in thermal contact with a primary fluid line (12) at the location between a primary compressor (16) and a primary condenser (18) and preferably placed outside a building so that the passive secondary refrigeration loop (15) provides cooling to the primary refrigeration system (11) when the outside temperature is sufficiently low The condenser (30) of the passive secondary refrigeration loop (15) is positioned above the points where the primary fluid line (12) connects with mlet (32) and outlet (34) lines of the secondary loop condenser (30)
