Refrigerator for refrigerating vehicle using ejector and method of controlling the same

A refrigerator for a refrigerator vehicle comprising:

• a vapor compressor system where a compressor, a condenser, a refrigerant tank, an expansion valve, and an evaporator are connected through a flowing line;
• an ejector refrigerant system whose one end connected to an outlet of the refrigerant tank and whose other end connected to an inlet of the compressor;
• a flow control valve for distributing a refrigerant flowing between the ejector refrigerant system and the outlet;
• and
• a controller connected to an engine of a refrigerating vehicle connected to control the flow control valve if an RPM of the engine exceeds a setting value,
• wherein the flow control valve distributes a gaseous refrigerant to the ejector of the ejector refrigerant system and the expansion valve of the vapor compressor system,
• wherein the ejector refrigerant system comprises:
• an ejector including a body in which a suction room is formed, a motive pipe connected to the body, a suction pipe, and a discharging pipe;
• a first ejector line for the outlet of the refrigerant tank and the motive pipe;
• a second ejector line for connecting the discharging pipe and the inlet of the compressor;
• a third ejector line for connecting the suction pipe and an outlet of the evaporator;
• a heat exchanging unit for recycling a waste heat from the engine and arranged in the first ejector line;
• a first valve arranged between the third ejector line and the outlet of the evaporator;
• and
• a second valve arranged between the second ejector line and the inlet of the compressor,
• wherein the flow control valve distributes the refrigerant discharged from the refrigerant tank to the heat exchanging unit and the expansion valve in response to a signal from the controller, the refrigerant discharged from the refrigerant tank including a first refrigerant discharged to the heat exchanging unit and a second refrigerant discharged to the expansion valve,
• wherein the heat exchange unit allows the first refrigerant to exchange heat with the waste heat such that the first refrigerant whose temperature is increased flows into an inside of the ejector,
• wherein the first valve controls the second refrigerant to flow into the inside of the ejector such that the ejector mixes the first refrigerant whose temperature is increased and the second refrigerant to produce a mixed refrigerant, a temperature of the mixed refrigerant being higher than a temperature of the second refrigerant, and
• wherein the second valve controls the second refrigerant to flow into the compressor.
