COOLING DEVICE
A cooling device comprises a storehouse having an opening, a door to open and close the opening, and a cooling unit to cool the interior of the storehouse. The cooling unit has a compressor, a condenser, a blower device to blow air to the condenser and the compressor, and a frame pipe. The frame pipe is disposed near the opening and refrigerant, that has been discharged from the compressor but has not reached the condenser, flows therein. The amount of air flow from the blower device is reduced as the interior temperature, which is the temperature inside the storehouse, gets lower or as the elapsed time, which is the time from when the compressor starts operation, becomes longer. The reduction of air flow from the blower device includes stopping the air flow from the blower device.
1 . A cooling apparatus, comprising:
a storage container comprising an opening;
a door configured to open and close the opening; and
a cooling unit that cools an inside of the storage container, wherein
the cooling unit comprises:
a compressor;
a condenser;
a blowing device that sends air to the condenser and the compressor; and
a frame pipe that is disposed in a vicinity of the opening, and through which a refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows before reaching the condenser, and
in a state where neither a start nor a stop of the compressor is performed, a blowing amount of the blowing device is increased for a period in which an in-container temperature that is a temperature inside the storage container exceeds a predetermined upper limit value, and the blowing amount of the blowing device is reduced for a period in which the in-container temperature falls below a predetermined lower limit value.
2 . The cooling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
an output of the compressor is set to a constant output, and
the lower the in-container temperature, the more the blowing amount of the blowing device is reduced.
