Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2645018A2] The device has a refrigerant circuit including compressor (1), a condenser (2) for refrigeration of a refrigerated compartment, and capillaries (5a, 5b) arranged upstream of the condenser in a flow direction of a refrigerant. A multi-way valve (4) i.e. magnet valve, is arranged upstream of the capillaries. The valve is connected with the capillaries such that the refrigerant flows through the capillaries according to a valve position. A controlling or regulating unit is connected with the valve, and adjusts the valve position based on a cooling demand prevailing in the compartment. The capillaries are throttle elements. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating a refrigeration and/or freezer device.
