Refrigeration appliance comprising a plurality of shelves

Abstract

A refrigeration appliance includes at least two compartments designed for different storage temperatures to define a first compartment and a second compartment, with the storage temperature of the first compartment exceeding the storage temperature of the second compartment. A refrigerant circuit has a first branch which is routed via an evaporator of the first compartment and a second branch which is routed via an evaporator of the second compartment. The evaporator of the second compartment includes a first refrigerant conduit which is connected upstream of the evaporator of the first compartment in the first branch, and a second refrigerant conduit which is associated with the second branch.

         10 . A refrigeration appliance, comprising:
 at least two compartments designed for different storage temperatures to define a first compartment and a second compartment, with the storage temperature of the first compartment exceeding the storage temperature of the second compartment; and   a refrigerant circuit having a first branch routed via an evaporator of the first compartment and a second branch routed via an evaporator of the second compartment,   wherein the evaporator of the second compartment comprises a first refrigerant conduit which is connected upstream of the evaporator of the first compartment in the first branch, and a second refrigerant conduit which is associated with the second branch.   
     
     
         11 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 10 , constructed as a domestic refrigerator. 
     
     
         12 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 10 , wherein the second branch has a volume which is smaller than a volume of the first branch. 
     
     
         13 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 10 , wherein the second branch has a volume which is larger than a volume of the first branch. 
     
     
         14 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 10 , wherein the first refrigerant conduit of the evaporator of the second compartment has a length which is calculated shorter than a length of the second refrigerant conduit or of a same length as the second refrigerant conduit. 
     
     
         15 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 10 , further comprising a refrigerant reservoir provided in a low pressure region of the refrigerant circuit. 
     
     
         16 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 15 , wherein the refrigerant reservoir is disposed downstream of a junction of the first and second branches. 
     
     
         17 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 15 , wherein the refrigerant reservoir is flowed through in a rising direction. 
     
     
         18 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second refrigerant conduits are evenly distributed over the evaporator of the second compartment. 
     
     
         19 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 10 , wherein each of the first and second branches has a throttle point.
