Abstract

In a method for operating a refrigerating unit including an expeller, condenser, evaporator and absorber, with a solvent circulation, a working substance circulation and a by-gas circulation, the working substance ammonia is expelled from a rich ammonia solution with continuous supply of thermal energy and subsequently is liquefied by heat absorption, is evaporated with absorption of heat from a cooling chamber and is absorbed from the weak ammonia solution, regulation of the thermal energy required for expulsion being effected in dependance on temperature changes with relation to a given temperature of the cooling chamber with the aid of an electronical module using fuzzy logic rules.
