Abstract
A refrigeration apparatus with two compartments operating at two different temperatures wherein a freezer comprising a storing volume adapted to receive products to be stored at a temperature below 0° C., an evaporator within said storing volume and a compressor located outside said storing volume, is fitted with a storing box, adapted to receive products to be stored at a temperature above the temperature in the storing volume, located within the storing volume, said box being fitted with heating means.
Claims7
Refrigeration apparatus, situated in an environment at temperature Te, comprising:
- a first compartment at a temperature T1, the first compartment being accessible through at least an opening, and
- a second compartment at a temperature T2, T1 being colder than T2, T1 and T2 being colder than Te, the second compartment being located inside the first compartment,
- a refrigeration circuit in the first compartment adapted to keep temperature T1 within a range R1 through a sequence of energisation and de-energisation phases triggered by comparing temperature T1 with a first reference temperature T1r,
- heating means in the second compartment adapted to keep temperature T2 within a range R2.
