Refrigerator with intermittently working sorption refrigerating apparatus

Refrigerator with a refrigerating unit in the form of an apparatus having a first and a second container (18 and 20, respectively;

• 68 and 70, respectively) communicating with each other through a conduit (22;
• 72), each container containing a substance which, when being heated, gives off a gaseous working medium and, when being cooled, absorbs the gaseous working medium, the first container (18;
• 68) being arranged to be heated from a storage compartment (16) of the refrigerator to thereby cool the compartment, the second container (20;
• 70) being provided with a heating means (34, 46, 75;
• 78), and each container being provided with means for, when need arises, conducting heat away from the container, wherein the means for conducting heat away from at least one of the containers is constituted by a cooling circuit (26, 28, 30, 32;
• 48, 50, 28, 30, 32;
• 48, 50, 28, 80, 82, 30, 32 and 36, 38, 30, 32;
• 48, 52, 38, 30, 32, respectively), in which a pump (26, 36) brings a cooling liquid to cool the container, said liquid being cooled in a radiator (32) arranged on the refrigerator, said cooling circuit being only partly filled with the cooling liquid so that the liquid returns to a level (40) below the container when circulation of the cooling liquid is discontinued.
