<p>A refrigerator is provided with a refrigerating unit in the form of an apparatus showing at least one couple of containers, where each couple comprises a first and a second container (18 and 20, respectively) communicating with each other through a pipe (22) and 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) is arranged to be heated from the storage compartment (16) of the refrigerator, which compartment thereby is cooled. The second container (20) is provided with a heating means (34). Each container is provided with an arrangement for, when need arises, conducting heat away from the respective container, which arrangement comprises a cooling circuit (26,28,30,32 and 36,38,30,32, respectively), in which, when need arises, a pump (26, 36) brings a cooling liquid to cool the respective container. The liquid is cooled in a radiator (32) arranged on the refrigerator. The cooling circuit is only partly filled with the cooling liquid, so that the liquid sinks back to a level (40) below the container, when the cooling liquid circulation is shut off. <IMAGE></p> |
