Patent ID: 8122737

Claim:
A refrigerating device comprising: a tubular evaporator including a carrier plate and a coolant tube arranged thereon in heat-conducting contact; a suction line; and a compressor; the coolant tube being connected via the suction line to the compressor; the coolant tube being formed by a plurality of series-connected tubular loops and an ascending outlet tube connecting the furthest downstream of the tubular loops to the suction line; wherein the tubular loops are formed with at least one curved section, and at least two generally linear sections extending outwardly therefrom, with at least one of the generally linear sections rising along a horizontally extending path between the at least one curved section and a curved section of a succeeding tubular loop, wherein the succeeding curved section is vertically and horizontally displaced from the at least one preceding curved section and wherein at least one linear section defines an ascending course in the direction of coolant flow, by which in combination with the flow cross-section of the tubular loops a receiving volume is embodied which is able to buffer the liquid coolant.
