Abstract:
A self-regulating device for controlling refrigerating appliances, such as refrigerators and freezers, preferably domestic appliances, comprising:a refrigerating circuit including a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser;a temperature sensor placed in contact with the evaporator; anda microprocessor unit for controlling the compressor wherein the microprocessor records and processes the temperature of the evaporator and at least one of the following parameters: compressor connection time (t.sub.f), compressor disconnection time (t.sub.r) and compares the time(s) with one or more tabulated values, in order to ensure that the disconnection time (t.sub.r) for the compressor reaches and maintains, by self-regulation, a constant predetermined tabulated value.
