Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator appliance combining a
fridge compartment and a freezer compartment. In order to allow an
energy efficient operation, the refrigerator appliance comprises a
solenoid valve (1) for controlling the flow of cooling liquid in the
refrigeration circuit, the solenoid valve (1) having at least three
different operating states (S1,S2,S3). Due to the plurality of different
operating states, it is possible to achieve an independent operation of
each of the evaporators (5a,5b) of the combi-refrigerator appliance, or
a simultaneous operation of the evaporators, in accordance with the
actual cooling demand in each of the compartments. Also, due to the
plurality of operating states it is possible to provide one operating
state in which the outlet of the compressor (2) is blocked when the
compressor (2) is off, to sustain the pressure in the condensor during
periods of compressor inactivity. In this way a cooling overshoot at the
end of period of compressor acivity can be shifted to the beginning of
each period of compressor activity, this resulting in increased energy
efficiency.

Abstract: Disclosed is polyoxypropylenepolyoxyethylene vitamin E, represented by formula (I). It is prepared by subjecting vitamin E to polyethoxylation and then, to polypropoxylation to a proper extent. The vitamin E is of superior anti-oxidation activity with water solubility. The bent chain of the polyoxypropylenepolyoxyethylene vitamin E increases the cross-sectional area of the whole molecule, making it difficult for the molecule to penetrate into the skin. It is very safe to apply to the skin. The polyoxypropylenepolyoxyethylene vitamin E has superb surface activity by forming close bilayer vesicle structures, like phospholipids or dialkyl surfactants, so it can be advantageously used in the cosmetic industry, the food industry and the medical industry. In said formula, R1 is -(OCH2CH2)m- wherein m is an integer of 0 to 150; R2 is (a) wherein n is an integer of 1 to 200; A is (b) or (c); B is -CH3 at the 5-, 7- or 8-position of vitamin E; and p is an integer of 1 or 3.
