THERMAL IMPROVEMENTS IN VIS REFRIGERATORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18132580 titled 'THERMAL IMPROVEMENTS IN VIS REFRIGERATORS
The patent application describes a refrigeration appliance with a unique refrigerant system that includes multiple evaporators for efficient cooling.
- The appliance has a cabinet with a trim breaker defining a mullion region and houses a refrigerant system.
- The refrigerant system includes a compressor, a heat loop, a condenser, and an evaporator assembly.
- The heat loop is routed around the perimeter of the cabinet and through the mullion region for optimal heat transfer.
- The evaporator assembly consists of at least one first evaporator in the first compartment and a second evaporator in the second compartment.
- The first evaporator may be a roll bond evaporator or a wire-on-tube evaporator, providing flexibility in design and performance.
Potential Applications: - Commercial refrigeration units - Residential refrigerators - Industrial cooling systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient cooling in different compartments - Optimal heat transfer for energy savings - Versatile evaporator options for various needs
Benefits: - Energy efficiency - Customizable cooling solutions - Improved temperature control
Commercial Applications: Refrigeration manufacturers can utilize this technology to create more efficient and versatile cooling appliances for various settings.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the placement of multiple evaporators improve cooling efficiency? 2. What are the advantages of using different types of evaporators in the same refrigeration appliance?
Original Abstract Submitted
A refrigeration appliance includes a cabinet having a trim breaker defining a mullion region and a refrigerant system. The cabinet defines a first compartment and a second compartment. The refrigerant system includes a refrigerant defining a flow path through a compressor, a heat loop coupled to the compressor, a condenser coupled to the heat loop, and an evaporator assembly coupled to the compressor and the condenser. The heat loop is routed around a perimeter of the cabinet and through the mullion region. The evaporator assembly includes at least one first evaporator disposed in the first compartment and a second evaporator disposed in the second compartment. The at least one first evaporator may include a first roll bond evaporator coupled to a second roll bond evaporator in series with the first, or a wire-on-tube evaporator.
