Refrigeration device and system

Abstract

A framed, low-temperature refrigeration device is provided, which includes a working circuit that forms a loop and contains a working fluid, the working circuit forming a cycle that includes in series: a compression mechanism, a cooling mechanism, an expansion mechanism and a heating mechanism, wherein the mechanisms for cooling and heating the working fluid include a common heat exchanger in which the working fluid flows in opposite directions in two separate transit portions of the working circuit. The device may also include a refrigeration heat exchanger for extracting heat from at least one member by exchanging heat with the working fluid flowing in the working circuit, wherein the compression mechanism includes two separate compressors, wherein the mechanism for cooling the working fluid includes two cooling heat exchangers which are arranged respectively at the outlet of the two compressors and ensure heat exchange between the working fluid and a cooling fluid, wherein the frame extends in a longitudinal direction and includes a lower base intended to be mounted on a support, the cooling heat exchangers are located in the frame about the common heat exchanger, i.e. the cooling heat exchangers are not located below the common heat exchanger between the common heat exchanger and the lower base of the frame.
