Method for controlling the temperature on cooling machines based on real and predicted patterns of use and internal/external temperatures

Abstract

A method for controlling the on/off cycles of a refrigerator based on the real and predicted patterns of use and external temperature is disclosed. This control avoids waste of energy in situations in which the approximate instant the refrigerator will have its chamber opened/closed is known in advance. The patterns of use considers instant and duration of the events of opening/closing the chamber, and they can be set by factory, by another device such as a computer and pendrives among others, by the user or they can be learnt using computational intelligence techniques. Moreover, it also considers the real and predicted external temperature to optimize the heating exchanging. The predicted temperature can be learnt by machine learn techniques, accessed through network connection, accessed from another device such as a computer and pendrives among others.
