Method for controlling a compression refrigeration system , in particular a heat pump , in which - a gaseous refrigerant is compressed from a low pressure (ND) to a high pressure (HD) by means of a compressor controlled by a controller , - the refrigerant is driven through a condenser , in which it transfers a heating energy (Q h ) to a heating medium located in a heat sink system , - an internal heat (Q i ) of the refrigerant is exchanged in a recuperator while the refrigerant flows under high pressure (HD) from the condenser to the expansion valve with the refrigerant flowing under low pressure (ND) from the evaporator to the compressor , - the refrigerant is guided in a high pressure flow direction (S HD ) to an expansion valve controlled by the controller , in which the refrigerant is expanded from the high pressure (HD) to the low pressure (ND) in a controlled manner depending on a control value (R), wherein - the refrigerant at the low pressure ND evaporates in the evaporator upon absorption of source heat Q Q , including the method steps: - determining a target value (Z ÜA ) of the evaporator discharge superheating (T ÜA ) and a target value (Z ÜE ) of the compressor intake superheating (T ÜE ), - calculating a correction value based on a control deviation of the compressor intake superheating (T ÜE ) from the target value (Z ÜE ) of the compressor intake superheating (T ÜE ), - correcting the target value (Z ÜA ) of the evaporator discharge superheating (T ÜA ) with the calculated correction value, - calculating a control value (R) after a commissioning phase of the compression refrigeration system depending on the target value (Z ÜA ) of the evaporator discharge superheating (T ÜA ) and the target value (Z ÜE ) of the compressor intake superheating (T ÜE ), and - controlling the expansion valve based on the control value (R). - a gaseous refrigerant is compressed from a low pressure (ND) to a high pressure (HD) by means of a compressor controlled by a controller , - the refrigerant is driven through a condenser , in which it transfers a heating energy (Q h ) to a heating medium located in a heat sink system , - an internal heat (Q i ) of the refrigerant is exchanged in a recuperator while the refrigerant flows under high pressure (HD) from the condenser to the expansion valve with the refrigerant flowing under low pressure (ND) from the evaporator to the compressor , - the refrigerant is guided in a high pressure flow direction (S HD ) to an expansion valve controlled by the controller , in which the refrigerant is expanded from the high pressure (HD) to the low pressure (ND) in a controlled manner depending on a control value (R), wherein - the refrigerant at the low pressure ND evaporates in the evaporator upon absorption of source heat Q Q , - determining a target value (Z ÜA ) of the evaporator discharge superheating (T ÜA ) and a target value (Z ÜE ) of the compressor intake superheating (T ÜE ), - calculating a correction value based on a control deviation of the compressor intake superheating (T ÜE ) from the target value (Z ÜE ) of the compressor intake superheating (T ÜE ), - correcting the target value (Z ÜA ) of the evaporator discharge superheating (T ÜA ) with the calculated correction value, - calculating a control value (R) after a commissioning phase of the compression refrigeration system depending on the target value (Z ÜA ) of the evaporator discharge superheating (T ÜA ) and the target value (Z ÜE ) of the compressor intake superheating (T ÜE ), and - controlling the expansion valve based on the control value (R). <EOS>
