Refrigerator or freezer used as a heat pump

摘要

Refrigerator or freezer used as a heat pump for household purposes, with a supply container for the refrigerator and freezer, if necessary divided into several compartments with different storage temperatures, and a compression refrigerating machine, the condenser of which has two sections connected mutually in parallel, one being in heat exchange with a water reservoir and the other, as required, in heat exchange with the ambient air. The evaporator (17) of the compression refrigerating machine is arranged outside the supply container (21) such that it can be selectively loaded with the air volume present in the supply container (21) or with air from the surroundings of the appliance. <IMAGE>
