Abstract (en)

A refrigerator with a refrigerant circuit using a non-azeotropic mixture of hydrocarbons refrigerants comprises a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device , a first evaporator downstream the expansion device, a second evaporator downstream the first evaporator, a first heat exchanger to cause heat exchange between refrigerant downstream the condenser and upstream the first evaporator, on one side, and refrigerant downstream the first evaporator and upstream the second evaporator, on the other side, and a second heat exchanger to cause heat exchange between refrigerant downstream the condenser and upstream the first heat exchanger, on one side, and refrigerant downstream the second evaporator (19) and upstream the compressor (10), on the other side, the expansion device being a capillary tube that is integral part of both heat exchangers as a side of exchangers, where the capillary tube is parallel and in contact with a tube of the circuit or it is wrapped around such tube.
