Abstract

A method of analyzing and controlling a refrigeration system (1) including at least one compressor (4), at least one condenser (5) and at least two refrigeration entities (2), each having at least one evaporator (9), includes preventing or reducing evaporator synchronization. Based on information received from the evaporator valve control units by a central control unit (9), it is determined whether or not two or more evaporators (9) are running in a synchronized manner and the refrigeration system (1) is controlled in order to desynchronize the evaporators (9) when two or more evaporators (9) are running in a synchronized manner.
