Abstract
A refrigerator for cooling a space inside thereof with a Stirling refrigerating engine includes state detection means for detecting an excessive cooling critical state of the Stirling refrigerating engine and excessive cooling prevention means for preventing excessive cooling of the Stirling refrigerating engine based on detection of the excessive cooling critical state by the state detection means. Excessive cooling of the Stirling refrigerating engine can thus be prevented.
Claims10
A refrigerator (1) for cooling a space inside the refrigerator with a Stirling refrigerating engine (30), comprising:
- state detection means (81, S01, S1, S21, S31, S37, S39, S45, S74, S75, S82, S84) for detecting an excessive cooling critical state of said Stirling refrigerating engine;
- and
- excessive cooling prevention means (S02) for preventing excessive cooling of said Stirling refrigerating engine based on detection of said excessive cooling critical state by said state detection means.
