(54) Refrigerant circuit for a refrigerator-freezer combination


(57) A refrigerant circuit for a refrigerator-freezer combination comprises a single compressor, an evaporator each for a refrigerating compartment and a freezer compartment, a condenser and at least one capillary.
The invention provides the connection of the two evaporators (17,18) in series, and the employ of two series-connected capillaries (14,15) one of which is bypassed with the aid of a solenoid valve (16).
With respect to an electric control circuit, the invention provides that a thermostat (23) associated with the refrigerating compartment controls the solenoid valve (16) and a defroster resistor (22) of the refrigerating compartment, while a thermostat (21) associated with the freezer compartment is connected to the compressor (10) and to the thermostat (23) associated with the refrigerating compartment.
