A refrigeration appliance with multiple storage compartments has a refrigerant circuit with a first expansion valve, a first heat exchanger, a second expansion valve, and a second heat exchanger connected in series between pressure and suction connections of a compressor. Each heat exchanger is associated with at least one storage compartment in order to control its temperature. A control unit controls the compressor rotational speed and positions of the expansion valves. The control unit has a continuously linear regulator for each storage compartment with a P-component for estimating a required temperature control output using a difference between actual and target temperatures. A model computing unit ascertains a target evaporation temperature for a first storage compartment controlled by the first heat exchanger, and for a second storage compartment controlled by the second heat exchanger. The heat exchangers are operated by selecting the compressor rotational speed and the valve positions of the expansion valves.

Refrigeration appliance with compartment which can be used in a variable manner

A refrigeration appliance has at least a first and a second temperature zone and a refrigerant circuit that includes a compressor, a first evaporator for cooling the first temperature zone and a second evaporator for cooling the second temperature zone. The first evaporator is serially connected downstream of the second evaporator in the refrigerant circuit, and a controllable throttle point is arranged upstream of the first evaporator and downstream of the second evaporator in the refrigerant circuit. A compressor controller is configured to control the rotational speed of the compressor on the basis of the temperature in the first temperature zone.

Refrigeration appliance and method in which the rotational speed of the compressor is controlled based on the temperature of a first temperature zone independently of a temperature of other temperature zones

A refrigerant circuit of a refrigeration device, such as a household refrigeration device, has the following connected in series between a pressure connection and a suction connection of a compressor: a condenser, a first throttle point, a first evaporator for cooling a first storage chamber, a second throttle point. At least one of the first and second throttle points are adjusted to control the pressure in the first evaporator. The refrigerant circuit has a first branch with the first throttle point, the first evaporator and the second throttle point, and at least one second branch, parallel to the first branch, in which a third throttle point, a second evaporator arranged in thermal contact with a second storage chamber and a fourth throttle point are connected in series. At least one of the third and fourth throttle points can be adjusted to control the pressure in the second evaporator.
