Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020007479A1] Refrigerator (1) comprising an outer casing (2) which has a thermal-insulating structure and is internally provided with a first (3) and a second (4) storage cavities that are thermal-insulated to one another and to the outside and each of which is adapted to accommodate perishable foodstuff; and an electrically-operated, cooling system (5) which is at least partially accommodated inside the outer casing (2) and is structured/adapted to cool down the inside of both said first (3) and said second (4) storage cavities; the first storage cavity (3) being additionally divided into a first (13) and a second (12) compartments that are both adapted to accommodate perishable foodstuff and directly communicate to one another; the cooling system (5) being adapted to circulate, in closed loop inside said first storage cavity (3), a flow of cold air (f) that crosses in sequence said first (13) and said second (12) compartment so as to cool down in sequence the same compartments (12, 13), and comprising an electrically-operated, heat-pump assembly (20) which is provided with a first evaporator (21) that cools down the first storage cavity (3), with a second evaporator (22) that cools down the second storage cavity (4), and with an electrically-operated flow di verier (44) which is located upstream of said first (21) and said second (22) evaporators and is adapted to selectively an alternatively channel the refrigerant towards the inlet of the first evaporator (21) or towards the inlet of the second evaporator (22).
