Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021083697A1] The invention relates to a refrigeration appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, comprising at least a first, a second and a third storage chamber (2, 3, 4), and a refrigerant circuit on which the following are connected in series between a pressure connection and a suction connection of a compressor (14): a condenser (15), a first expansion valve (17), a first heat exchanger (5) of the first storage chamber (2), a second expansion valve (18), and a second heat exchanger (6) of the second storage chamber (3), a third heat exchanger (7) associated with the third storage chamber (4), and a control circuit (13) for controlling the operation of the compressor (14) and the expansion valves (17, 18). The third heat exchanger (7) is connected in series downstream of the second heat exchanger (6). The control circuit (13) is designed to maintain a higher storage temperature (T4s) in the third storage chamber (4) than in the second storage chamber (3).
