Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for modulating freezing of a liquid substance, said liquid substance being in the presence of a gas phase, the method comprising modulating the temperature of the liquid substance, of the gas phase or of both, and controlling the concentration of vapor of the substance present in the gas phase. The invention further comprises a method for preservation, for example, food or other biological material, and an apparatus for putting said method into practice.
Abstract:
The present invention is a home appliance and particularly a cooling device comprising a drawer (1) disposed into a heat insulated casing; a curved part (11) having at least one guide channel (12) and at least one air opening (14) provided on a front wall (10) of the drawer (1); a humidity regulating piece (2) regulating the humidity inside the drawer (1) by means of cool air input-output through the air opening (14) so as to close and open the air opening (14) during cool air circulation. The cooling device comprises a curved curtain (20) having at least one holder leg (21) moving inside the guide channel (12) and compliant to the curved part (11) and closing and opening the air openings (14) so as to move along a stroke distance x from a first position to a second position on the curved part (11) of the drawer (1).
Abstract:
A container refrigeration device aims to improve dehumidification performance of the container refrigeration device. The container refrigeration device is configured to perform, in accordance with a dehumidification load, first dehumidification control under which air having passed through an evaporator is heated by exchanging heat with a refrigerant in a reheat heat exchanger, and blown into an inside of a container, and second dehumidification control under which a pressure of the refrigerant discharged from a compressor and flowing into the reheat heat exchanger is caused to be higher than a pressure of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor under the first dehumidification control, and a flow rate of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is regulated such that a temperature inside the container is within a predetermined temperature range.
Abstract:
A refrigeration appliance comprises a freezer compartment in which air cooled by an evaporator is circulated by a fan and a thermoelectric device having a hot side in heat exchange relationship with the evaporator or with the freezer compartment and a cold side in heat exchange relationship with air within at least a portion of the freezer compartment in order to reduce temperature oscillations in the freezer compartment or in said portion thereof during evaporator defrost cycle.
Abstract:
Provided are a refrigerator and a drawer for a refrigerator. The drawer for the refrigerator includes a receiving member (110) received in the refrigerator to provide a receiving space for receiving foods, an induction member (220) disposed inside the receiving member to induce a formation of moisture on a surface thereof, an indicating member (240) disposed inside the receiving member, the indicating member comprising an indicating part (244) for indicating a humidity state to the outside, and a transmission part (234) providing a space through which the moisture flows, together with the indicating member.
Abstract:
A container refrigeration device aims to prevent low temperature damage to freight in a container. The container refrigeration device includes: a temperature controlling section (101) configured to perform, in a switchable manner, first temperature control under which a temperature inside the container (C) is controlled based on a blown air temperature (Tss) and second temperature control under which the temperature inside the container (C) is controlled based on a suction air temperature (Trs) during dehumidification operation; and a control switching section (103) configured to switch the first temperature control to the second temperature control when the blown air temperature (Tss) is higher than the suction air temperature (Trs) during the dehumidification operation in which part of a refrigerant discharged from a compressor (30) is allowed to flow into a reheat heat exchanger (83).
Abstract:
A blown air temperature sensor (34) detects a temperature of blown air which is being blown into a container (C) after having passed sequentially through an evaporator (25) and a heating device (17). During cooling and dehumidifying operations, a temperature control section (101) controls a cooling section (18) such that a detected blown air temperature (Tss) detected by the blown air temperature sensor (34) becomes equal to a target temperature (Tx). A target control section (201) sets the target temperature (Tx) to be a first preset temperature which is equal to a preset inside temperature (Tsp) when the cooling operation is performed, and sets the target temperature (Tx) to be a second preset temperature which is sum of the preset inside temperature (Tsp) and a target increment temperature once a switch has been made from the cooling operation to the dehumidifying operation.
