METHOD FOR CONTROLLING REFRIGERATOR

Title:

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING REFRIGERATOR

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/027596

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A method for controlling a refrigerator in the present embodiment comprises the steps of: as a first refrigeration cycle for refrigeration of a first storage chamber is operated, operating a compressor and operating a first cold air supply means for the first storage chamber; when the first refrigeration cycle has been operated for a first run time, converting to a second refrigeration cycle for refrigeration of a second storage chamber, and operating a second cold air supply means; and if the second refrigeration cycle has been operated for a second run time, stopping the second refrigeration cycle. In particular, a first reference time is determined using a representative value obtained on the basis of the temperature of the first storage chamber during a single run cycle, which includes a previous first refrigeration cycle and a previous second refrigeration cycle; a control unit causes the first refrigeration cycle to operate for the determined first reference time; a second reference time period is determined using a representative value obtained on the basis of the temperature of the second storage chamber during the single run cycle; and the control unit causes the second refrigeration cycle to operate for the determined second reference time.
