Refrigerator

A refrigerator, comprising:

• a heat-insulating housing having at least two refrigerating compartments separated from one another in a heat-insulating manner, each of said compartments having a different compartment temperature;
• evaporators each respectively cooling one of said compartments, and each having a given different refrigerating capacity and containing a liquid refrigerant;
• at least one of said evaporators having:
• a relatively higher refrigerating capacity;
• and
• a refrigerant routing portion having a refrigerant reception volume;
• throttles each respectively fluidically connected upstream of one of said evaporators with respect to a refrigerant flow direction;
• a refrigerant compressor having a suction side, said compressor fluidically connected to said throttles and to said evaporators for circulating said refrigerant through said throttles and said evaporators;
• a refrigerant collector fluidically connected to said suction side of said refrigerant compressor, said refrigerant collector collecting an amount of said refrigerant when said compressor is in a standstill phase, more than a majority of said reception volume of said refrigerant routing portion being filled with said refrigerant in the standstill phase of said compressor;
• and
• at least one activating device fluidically connected to each of said evaporators, said activating device positively and separately controlling circulation of said refrigerant through each of said evaporators.
