Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3139115A1] The present invention relates to a cooling device (1) comprising a fresh food compartment (2) wherein the foods are placed to be cooled; a freezing compartment (3) that is kept at lower temperatures than the fresh food compartment (2) and wherein the foods are placed to be frozen; a special compartment (4) that is disposed inside the fresh food compartment (2) and that is kept at a temperature between the fresh food compartment (2) temperature and the freezing compartment (3) temperature; a compressor (5) providing the compression of the refrigerant fluid; a condenser (6) that enables the refrigerant fluid leaving the compressor (5) to change to the liquid phase by being condensed; at least one fresh food compartment evaporator (7) providing the cooling of the fresh food compartment (2); at least one freezing compartment evaporator (8) providing the cooling of the freezing compartment (3); a first temperature sensor (10) that measures the temperature of the fresh food compartment (2) for controlling the cooling process; a second temperature sensor (11) that measures the temperature of the freezing compartment (3) for controlling the freezing process; a first valve (13) that is disposed at the outlet of the condenser (6), and a control unit (14) that enables the refrigerant fluid leaving the condenser (6) to be directed to the fresh food compartment evaporator (7) or the freezing compartment evaporator (8) by passing through the first valve (13) by evaluating the data received from the first temperature sensor (10) and the second temperature sensor (11).
