- the cooling of the heat radiator 2 can be interrupted to reduce the load on the compressor 11, thereby contributing to a reduction in power consumption.
- the refrigerator evaporator of three-way valve 20 when the temperature of freezing room 22 exceeds a set value, such as when the door of freezing room 22 is opened for a long time, the refrigerator evaporator of three-way valve 20 is provided. Control means for closing the side toward 12 and opening the directional side to the evaporator 19 for cooling the radiating section is included. By including this control means, the flow of the first refrigerant to the refrigerator compartment evaporator 12 is interrupted, and the entire cooling capacity of the first refrigerant is used for cooling the high-temperature radiator 2 of the Stirling refrigerator 1. Can be.
- the high-temperature radiating section 2 of the Stirling refrigerator 1 can be cooled at a lower temperature, and the cooling capacity of the low-temperature heat absorbing section 3 of the Stirling refrigerator 1 can be increased. As a result, the freezing room 22 can be rapidly cooled.
