Refrigerating apparatus and method of controlling the same

摘要

Disclosed herein are a refrigerating apparatus and a method of controlling the same. The method includes lowering a temperature in a storage chamber to a freezing point temperature zone by adjusting cold air supplied to the storage chamber, and lowering the temperature in the storage chamber to a temperature below a freezing point by increasing an amount of the cold air supplied to the storage chamber, when it is determined that a temperature of articles stored in the storage chamber is stabilized in the freezing point temperature zone by the cold air. When the surface temperature and the center temperature of the stored articles are cooled close to the freezing point and are then cooled again to the freezing temperature below the freezing point, super-cooling of the stored articles is carried out for a short time, the surfaces and the centers of the stored articles start to freeze simultaneously.

1. A method of controlling a refrigerating apparatus, the method comprising:
controlling a temperature in a storage chamber of the refrigerating apparatus to a freezing point temperature zone in a super cooling state by adjusting cold air supplied to the storage chamber; determining whether a temperature of articles stored in the storage chamber is stabilized in the freezing point temperature zone; and controlling the temperature in the storage chamber to a temperature below a freezing point by increasing an amount of the cold air supplied to the storage chamber when it is determined that the temperature of articles stored in the storage chamber is stabilized in the freezing point temperature zone by the cold air, wherein the determining of whether the temperature of articles stored in the storage chamber is stabilized in the freezing point temperature zone comprises determining whether a temperature of a surface of the stored articles is equal to a temperature of the storage chamber, and wherein the controlling of the temperature in the storage chamber to the temperature below the freezing point comprises performing a super-cooling process, and lowering the temperature of the storage chamber to the temperature below the freezing point to cancel the super-cooling state, so that the surface of the stored articles and the core of the stored articles are simultaneously frozen.
