Abstract
This invention relates to of a cooling device (1) comprising a compressor (2) which compresses the refrigerant fluid, a condenser (3) which enables the superheated vapor exiting the compressor (2) change to first a liquid-vapor phase then liquid phase entirely, a compressor cabinet (8) positioned separately from the cooling cabinet (7), into which the compressor (2) and the condenser (3) are positioned, one or more evaporators (4), and one or more capillary tubes (5) interposed between the compressor cabinet (8) and the evaporator (6), and a control method thereof.
Claims19
A cooling device comprising:
- one or more cooling cabinets in which items to be cooled are stored,
- a compressor cabinet external to the one or more cooling cabinets, the compressor cabinet including:
- a compressor which compresses a refrigerant into a superheated vapor, and
- a condenser which receives the superheated vapor from the compressor and by condensing enables the superheated vapor to change to first a liquid-vapor phase, then a liquid phase such that the entire superheated vapor forms a condensed fluid,
- one or more evaporators provided in the one or more cooling cabinets to which the condensed fluid is delivered, wherein the one or more evaporators enable cooling of the one or more cooling cabinets by the condensed fluid flowing through the one or more evaporators absorb heat of the one or more cooling cabinets,
- a first temperature sensor that detects a temperature inside the compressor cabinet,
- a second temperature sensor that detects a temperature inside the one or more cooling cabinets,
- and
- a heater positioned in the compressor cabinet which is activated when a difference between a first temperature value detected by the first temperature sensor and a second temperature value detected by the second temperature sensor is greater than a predetermined value to prevent formation of vapor block.

A cooling device comprising:
- a cooling cabinet in which items to be cooled are stored,
- a compressor cabinet external to the cooling cabinet, the compressor cabinet including:
- a compressor which compresses a refrigerant into a superheated vapor, and
- a condenser which receives the superheated vapor from the compressor and by condensing enables the superheated vapor to change to first a liquid-vapor phase, then a liquid phase such that the entire superheated vapor forms a condensed fluid,
- an evaporator provided in the cooling cabinet to which the condensed fluid is delivered, wherein the evaporator enables cooling of the cooling cabinet by the condensed fluid flowing through the evaporator absorb heat of the cooling cabinet,
- a first temperature sensor that detects a temperature at an inlet of the evaporator,
- a second temperature sensor that detects a temperature at an outlet of the evaporator such that a rotation rate of the compressor is increased according to a difference between a first temperature value detected by the first temperature sensor and a second temperature value detected by the second temperature sensor in order to start double phase flow,
- a fan which provides air flow over the condenser and/or the compressor, and
- a heater positioned in the compressor cabinet which is activated when the difference between the first temperature value detected by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature value detected by the second temperature sensor is greater than a predetermined value to prevent formation of vapor block.

A cooling device comprising:
- two or more cooling cabinets in which items to be cooled are stored,
- a compressor cabinet external to the two or more cooling cabinets, the compressor cabinet including:
- a compressor which compresses a refrigerant into a superheated vapor, and
- a condenser which receives the superheated vapor from the compressor and by condensing enables the superheated vapor to change to first a liquid-vapor phase, then a liquid phase such that the entire superheated vapor forms a condensed fluid,
- two or more evaporators provided in the two or more cooling cabinets to which the condensed fluid is delivered, wherein the two or more evaporators enable cooling of the two or more cooling cabinets by the condensed fluid flowing through the two or more evaporators absorb heat of the two or more cooling cabinets,
- a first temperature sensor that detects a temperature inside the compressor cabinet,
- a second temperature sensor that detects a temperature inside the two or more cooling cabinets,
- and
- a heater positioned in the compressor cabinet which is activated when a difference between a first temperature value detected by the first temperature sensor and a second temperature value detected by the second temperature sensor is greater than a predetermined value to prevent formation of vapor block.
