| (54) | Temperature control method and unit for cooler devices |
| (57) A cooler device (1) adapted to operate with the method according to the present invention
comprises at least one cooler compartment (10) and at least one freezer compartment
(11); temperature sensors (13, 14) situated in said compartments (10, 11) to measure
the temperature in said compartments (10, 11); a cooling setup containing evaporator
(2), condenser (9), compressor (5) units, at least one fan (3), circulating air cooled
down by the evaporator (2) within the cooler device (1), and at least one damper (4)
that is opened and closed in an airflow channel (6) between the compartments (10,
11); and a control unit (12) controlling the operation of the cooler device. According
to this method, temperatures measured (TF, TR) are compared to predetermined threshold
values (TF1, TF2, TR1, TR2) in the control unit (12) and the operation states of the
compressor (5) and fan (3) and the open/closed position of the damper (4) are determined
according to the result of such comparisons.
