【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、たとえば開店時や閉店時などにおけるショーケース照明の一斉の点灯・消灯や、各ショーケースの周囲温度に基づいて、冷凍機に内蔵されたインバータ圧縮機の吸入冷媒圧力に係る設定値を定めて、通年の省エネルギー化を図ることができるショーケース冷却装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来例について、図5ないし図8を参照しながら説明する。図5は従来例の構成を示すブロック図である。従来例は大別して、ショーケース群1と冷凍機6から構成される。一方のショーケース群1は、ショーケース1A,1B,1C,…(以下、1A…と表記する)の全てが店舗内で並設されて一つのグループをなすもので、各ショーケース1A…はそれぞれ、蒸発器2A…、この蒸発器2A…への冷媒の流れをオン・オフ制御するショーケース用コントローラ34A…、冷媒の流れをオン・オフする操作端としての図示してない電磁弁、および、ショーケースの吹き出し空気の温度を測定する温度センサ14A…を備える。ここで、ショーケース内の温度測定箇所として、空気が吹き出す箇所が選ばれた理由は、一つには格納商品の量の多寡によって影響されない箇所であること、もう一つには制御に基づく温度変化が最も先行的に現れる箇所であるから制御上好都合なことによる。他方の冷凍機6は、圧縮機9、凝縮器31、圧縮機9の吸入冷媒圧力を測定する低圧用圧力センサ7、および、測定された圧力値とその設定値の偏差に基づき圧縮機9をオン・オフ制御する冷凍機用コントローラ12を備える。
【0003】
蒸発器2A…は互いに並列接続され、この並列接続されたものに圧縮機9と凝縮器31が直列接続されて、冷凍サイクルが構成される。各コントローラ34A…はそれぞれ、対応する温度センサ14A…からの温度信号とその設定値との偏差に基づいて、対応する蒸発器2A…への冷媒の流れをオン・オフ制御する。冷媒は、圧縮機9から凝縮器31を経た後に分流して各蒸発器2A…に流れたり、または流れるのを阻止されてから圧縮機9に戻るように循環する。ここでは、各コントローラ34A…の制御信号を、対応する蒸発器2A…の前段に入力させるように簡略的に図示し、その冷媒の流れをオン・オフ制御することを示した(詳しくは図6参照)。
【0004】
図6は従来例の冷凍サイクルの構成を詳細に示すブロック図である。この冷凍サイクルは、冷凍機6に内蔵された圧縮機9および凝縮器31と、各ショーケース1A…に内蔵された蒸発器2A…、対応する電磁弁33A…および温度膨張弁32A…とから構成される。
この冷凍サイクルの制御動作は、ショーケース1A…においては、吹き出し空気温度の設定値と、温度センサ14A…(図5参照)による測定値の偏差に基づき、コントローラ34A…を介して、蒸発器2A…への冷媒の流れをオン・オフ制御することである。つまり、偏差がプラス(測定値≧設定値)のときには、電磁弁33A…を開き(オン)、偏差がマイナス(測定値<設定値)のときには、電磁弁33A…を閉じる(オフ)ように、蒸発器2A…への冷媒の流れをオン・オフする。冷凍機6においては、図5で圧縮機9の吸入冷媒圧力の設定値と、圧力センサ7による測定値の偏差に基づき、コントローラ12を介して、圧縮機9の運転をオン・オフ制御する。つまり、圧力測定値が設定値以上または未満のときに、圧縮機9をオンまたはオフにする。なお、オン・オフ制御であるから、ここでの設定値は実際には上限,下限の各設定値からなる。
【0005】
従来のショーケース冷凍サイクルの動作について、図7のタイムチャートを参照しながら説明する。この図7において、
(1) 時点▲1▼では、図示してない温度センサ14Aによるショーケース1Aの吹き出し空気温度の測定値がいずれも設定値(下限)以下であるため、図示してないコントローラ34Aを介して、電磁弁33Aは閉じる(オフ)。このとき、図示してない圧力センサによる吸入冷媒の圧力の測定値が設定値(下限)以下であるため、圧縮機は停止しており、吹き出し空気温度は上昇傾向にある。
(2) 時点▲2▼では、ショーケース1Aの吹き出し空気温度が上昇して設定値(上限設定値)を超えるため、電磁弁33Aが開く(オン)。それと同時に、吸入冷媒の圧力の測定値が設定値(上限)以上になるため、圧縮機が運転される。その後に、ショーケース1B,1Cの吹き出し空気温度が順次上昇して設定値(上限)以上になるため、電磁弁33B,33Cが開く。したがって、冷凍機によってショーケース1A…の冷却がおこなわれ、各吹き出し空気温度が下降する。
(3) 時点▲3▼では、まずショーケース1Aの吹き出し空気温度が設定値未満となって、電磁弁33Aが閉状態となり、これに続いて順次、電磁弁33B,33Cが閉状態となる。
(4) 時点▲4▼で、全ての電磁弁が閉状態となり、蒸発器2A…と冷凍機の間にある冷媒が冷凍機に回収される、いわゆるポンプダウン運転がおこなわれる。その結果として、
(5) 時点▲5▼で、吸入冷媒の圧力の測定値が設定値(下限)以下になって、圧縮機は停止する。
【0006】
圧縮機の運転・停止と、ショーケースの吹き出し空気温度の時間的変化について、それぞれ図8(a),(b) に示す。同図(a) では、圧縮機が継続的に運転・停止(オン・オフ)され、同図(b) では、吹き出し空気温度は設定値を中心として上下に変動する。なお、上限・下限の各設定値の表示は省略した。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の冷凍サイクルでは、圧縮機9の吸入冷媒の圧力設定値は、照明が全て点灯され、通年の最大周囲温度のときを想定して定められた固定値である。したがって、照明が消灯されるときや、夏期以外の周囲温度が想定最大値より低いときには、ショーケースの実際負荷に対し必要以上の冷却機能力を発揮する運転状態となって、エネルギーの無駄となる。
【0008】
この発明が解決しようとする課題は、従来の技術がもつ以上の問題点を解消して、各ショーケースの照明の点灯・消灯や、各ショーケースの周囲温度を考慮して、冷凍機に内蔵されたインバータ圧縮機の吸入冷媒圧力に係る設定値を定め、通年の省エネルギー化を図ることができるショーケース冷却装置を提供することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明は、本体内所定箇所の空気温度とその設定値との偏差に基づき蒸発器への冷媒の流れを電磁弁を介して制御するショーケースの二以上と、これと冷凍サイクルを構成する共通な冷凍機と、これらショーケースおよび冷凍機を制御する総合コントローラとからなり、この総合コントローラは、各ショーケースに設備された照明の点灯・消灯(ほとんど開店時や閉店時の一斉点灯・消灯)に基づいて、冷凍機に内蔵されたインバータ圧縮機の吸入冷媒圧力に係る設定値を求める圧力設定値演算部と;その求められた吸入冷媒圧力の設定値と実際の圧力との偏差に基づいて、インバータ圧縮機に係る回転数指令を求める回転数指令演算部と;を備えるか、または各ショーケースの周囲温度(各周囲温度の平均値か、いずれか一つの代表値)に基づいて、冷凍機に内蔵されたインバータ圧縮機の吸入冷媒圧力に係る設定値を求める圧力設定値演算部と;その求められた吸入冷媒圧力の設定値と実際の圧力との偏差に基づいて、インバータ圧縮機に係る回転数指令を求める回転数指令演算部と;を備える、という構成である。
【0010】
したがって、この発明では、圧力設定値演算部によって、▲1▼各ショーケースに設備された照明の点灯・消灯、つまり照明に係る消費電力による負荷変動に基づいて、または▲2▼各ショーケースの周囲温度、つまり外部からの侵入熱量の変動に基づいて、それぞれインバータ圧縮機の吸入冷媒圧力に係る設定値を求め、回転数指令演算部によって、その求められた吸入冷媒圧力の設定値と実際の圧力との偏差に基づき、インバータ圧縮機に係る回転数指令を求めることができる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明の実施例について、図1の構成を示すブロック図を参照しながら説明する。図1において、従来と同じショーケース群1と冷凍機6の間に介在する形で、両者を総合的・合理的に制御するための総合コントローラ38を設ける。この総合コントローラ38は、圧力設定値演算部48と、回転数指令演算部5とからなる。この圧力設定値演算部48の働きは次のとおりである。一般に、各ショーケース1A…の照明の点灯・消灯(オン・オフによる消費電力の変動)や、各ショーケース1A…の周囲温度の変化(外部からの侵入熱量の変動)によって、ショーケースに対する冷却負荷が変化する。したがって、これに応じて冷凍機能力を増減させることがショーケースの省エネルギー運転のためには必要である。この冷凍機能力の増減のために、冷凍機6に内蔵されたインバータ圧縮機9の吸入冷媒圧力に係る設定値を変動させるわけで、これによって通年の省エネルギー化を図ることができる。
【0012】
圧力設定値演算部48は、各ショーケース1A…に設備された照明60A…に対する点灯・消灯の各指令信号と、周囲温度測定用の温度センサ61A…からの温度信号に基づいて、後述する圧縮機9の吸入冷媒圧力に係る圧力設定値を演算して求める。なお、実際上はほとんど開店時・閉店時に同時に各照明60A…に対して送信される共通な点灯・消灯の指令信号が圧力設定値演算部48に送信される。また、各温度センサ61A…は、それぞれ各ショーケース1A…に付設される形をとり、圧力設定値演算部48ではそれぞれからの温度信号の平均値が求められる。しかし、周囲温度は設置環境がとくに異なるときを除き一般には共通であるから、各温度センサ61A…のいずれか一つで代表することができる。さて、この圧力設定値は回転数指令演算部5に伝えられて、次に詳しく述べるように、圧力設定値と実際の圧縮機9の吸入冷媒圧力との偏差に基づいて、圧縮機9に対する回転数指令(更新)を求める。
【0013】
ここで、回転数指令演算部5の構成について、図4の回転数指令演算部5と冷凍機4の構成を示すブロック図を参照しながら説明する。図4において、回転数指令演算部5は、前段から入力される圧力設定値と冷凍機6の圧力センサ7からの圧力測定値との偏差を求める丸印表示の偏差手段、およびPID演算器10からなる。圧力偏差は、PID演算器10を介して圧縮機に対する回転数指令に変換され、冷凍機6の側のインバータ8を経て圧縮機9に伝達されて、その回転数を変更させる。圧縮機9の吸入冷媒圧力は、圧力センサ7を介して回転数指令演算部5の偏差手段にフィードバックされ、ここに入力圧力設定値を目標とするネガティブ・フィードバック制御回路が形成される。圧縮機回転数は、圧力設定値が高くなると平均値が下がり、圧力設定値が低くなると平均値が上がるように制御される。
【0014】
図2は圧力設定値の更新に係る、ショーケース照明の点灯・消灯と圧力設定値の対応図である。図において、上側が照明の一斉点灯・消灯のタイムチャート、下側がこれに応じた圧力設定値のタイムチャートである。照明のON(点灯)に対応して下位の圧力設定値Sp2が、またOFF(消灯)に対応して上位の圧力設定値Sp1が、それぞれ実験的に得られた。ここでは、Sp1=3.0Kgf/cm、Sp2=2.0Kgf/cm、である。
【0015】
図3は圧力設定値の更新に係る、ショーケース周囲温度と圧力設定値の対応図である。図において、ショーケースの周囲温度が、10〜15、15〜20、20〜25、…30〜35(単位:℃)のように段階的に上昇するのに応じ、圧力設定値は、2.3 、2.2 、2.1 、…1.6 (単位:Kgf/cm )のように段階的に減少するのが実験的に得られた。なお、このショーケースの周囲温度は、前記のように各ショーケース1A…の周囲温度の平均値でもよく、または代表値でもよい。
【0016】
したがって、図1における圧力設定値演算部48では、前記の図2と図3の各要素分を加算する形で圧力設定値が求められることになる。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
この発明によれば、一つには、各ショーケースに設備された照明の点灯・消灯(ほとんど開店時や閉店時の一斉点灯・消灯)、つまり照明に係る消費電力の負荷変動を考慮して、もう一つには、各ショーケースの周囲温度、つまり外部からの侵入熱量の変動を考慮して、その冷却負荷に見合うようにインバータ圧縮機の回転数が制御されることで冷凍機の運転が合理的におこなわれるから、通年での省エネルギー化を図ることができる。また、インバータ圧縮機が適正な回転数で回転されることで、圧縮機の運転・停止の頻度が低くなって、ショーケースの温度のバラツキつまり変動幅を小さくすることができ、もって商品の高鮮度管理を支援することができる。

The present invention provides, for example, simultaneous turning on and off of showcase lighting at the time of opening and closing a store, and setting values relating to the suction refrigerant pressure of an inverter compressor incorporated in a refrigerator based on the ambient temperature of each showcase. The present invention relates to a showcase cooling device that can save energy throughout the year.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional example will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a conventional example. The conventional example is roughly divided into a showcase group 1 and a refrigerator 6. One showcase group 1 is a group in which all showcases 1A, 1B, 1C,... (Hereinafter referred to as 1A...) Are arranged side by side in a store to form one group. Each of the evaporators 2A, a showcase controller 34A for controlling on / off of the flow of the refrigerant to the evaporators 2A, a solenoid valve (not shown) as an operation end for turning on / off the flow of the refrigerant, and , Which measure the temperature of the air blown out of the showcase. Here, the reason why the location where air is blown was selected as the temperature measurement location in the showcase is that one is a location that is not affected by the quantity of stored products, and another is a temperature based on control. This is because control is convenient because the change is the place where the change appears first. The other refrigerator 6 includes a compressor 9, a condenser 31, a low-pressure pressure sensor 7 for measuring a suction refrigerant pressure of the compressor 9, and a compressor 9 based on a deviation between the measured pressure value and a set value thereof. A refrigerator controller 12 for ON / OFF control is provided.
[0003]
The evaporators 2A are connected in parallel with each other, and the compressor 9 and the condenser 31 are connected in series to the parallel-connected ones, thereby forming a refrigeration cycle. Each controller 34A... Controls the flow of the refrigerant to the corresponding evaporator 2A... Based on the deviation between the temperature signal from the corresponding temperature sensor 14A. The refrigerant is split from the compressor 9 after passing through the condenser 31 and flows to each of the evaporators 2A, or circulates back to the compressor 9 after being prevented from flowing. Here, the control signals of the controllers 34A are simply shown to be input to the preceding stage of the corresponding evaporators 2A, and the on / off control of the flow of the refrigerant is shown (see FIG. 6 for details). reference).
[0004]
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional refrigeration cycle in detail. This refrigeration cycle is composed of a compressor 9 and a condenser 31 built in the refrigerator 6, an evaporator 2A built in each showcase 1A, a corresponding solenoid valve 33A and a temperature expansion valve 32A. Is done.
In the showcase 1A, the control operation of the refrigeration cycle is performed by the evaporator 2A via the controller 34A on the basis of the deviation between the set value of the blown air temperature and the value measured by the temperature sensor 14A (see FIG. 5). .. On / off control of the flow of the refrigerant to. That is, when the deviation is plus (measured value ≧ set value), the solenoid valves 33A are opened (on), and when the deviation is minus (measured value <set value), the solenoid valves 33A are closed (off). Turn on / off the flow of the refrigerant to the evaporators 2A. In the refrigerator 6, on / off control of the operation of the compressor 9 is performed via the controller 12 on the basis of the difference between the set value of the suction refrigerant pressure of the compressor 9 and the value measured by the pressure sensor 7 in FIG. That is, the compressor 9 is turned on or off when the measured pressure value is equal to or more than the set value. Since the on / off control is performed, the set value here actually consists of the upper limit and the lower limit.
[0005]
The operation of the conventional showcase refrigeration cycle will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. In this FIG.
(1) At time (1), the measured values of the blown air temperature of the showcase 1A by the temperature sensor 14A (not shown) are all lower than the set value (lower limit). The solenoid valve 33A is closed (off). At this time, since the measured value of the pressure of the suction refrigerant by the pressure sensor (not shown) is equal to or lower than the set value (lower limit), the compressor is stopped, and the temperature of the blown air tends to increase.
(2) At time point (2), the temperature of the air blown out of the showcase 1A rises and exceeds the set value (upper limit set value), so the solenoid valve 33A opens (ON). At the same time, since the measured value of the pressure of the suction refrigerant becomes equal to or higher than the set value (upper limit), the compressor is operated. Thereafter, the blow-out air temperature of the showcases 1B and 1C sequentially increases and exceeds the set value (upper limit), so that the solenoid valves 33B and 33C are opened. Are cooled by the refrigerator, and the temperature of each blown air drops.
(3) At time point (3), first, the temperature of the blown air from the showcase 1A becomes lower than the set value, the solenoid valve 33A is closed, and subsequently, the solenoid valves 33B and 33C are sequentially closed.
(4) At time point (4), all the solenoid valves are closed, and a so-called pump-down operation is performed in which the refrigerant between the evaporators 2A ... and the refrigerator is recovered by the refrigerator. As a result,
(5) At time point (5), the measured value of the pressure of the suction refrigerant becomes equal to or less than the set value (lower limit), and the compressor is stopped.
[0006]
FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b) show the operation / stop of the compressor and the temporal change of the blow-out air temperature of the showcase, respectively. In FIG. 3A, the compressor is continuously operated (stopped) (on / off), and in FIG. 3B, the blown air temperature fluctuates up and down around a set value. In addition, the display of each set value of an upper limit and a lower limit was omitted.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional refrigeration cycle, the pressure set value of the refrigerant sucked into the compressor 9 is a fixed value that is determined on the assumption that the lighting is all turned on and the ambient temperature is the maximum year-round. Therefore, when the lighting is turned off or when the ambient temperature other than summer is lower than the assumed maximum value, the operation state is such that the cooling function of the actual load of the showcase is more than necessary, and energy is wasted. .
[0008]
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the problems more than the conventional technology has, and to turn on / off the lighting of each showcase and to take into consideration the ambient temperature of each showcase, to incorporate the refrigerator into the refrigerator. It is an object of the present invention to provide a showcase cooling device that can set a set value related to the suction refrigerant pressure of the inverter compressor and save energy throughout the year.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to two or more showcases that control the flow of refrigerant to an evaporator via an electromagnetic valve based on a difference between an air temperature at a predetermined position in a main body and a set value thereof, and a common case that forms a refrigeration cycle with the showcase. Refrigerators and a general controller that controls these showcases and chillers. This general controller turns on and off the lights installed in each showcase (almost all lights are turned on and off when the store is opened or closed). A pressure set value calculating section for obtaining a set value relating to the suction refrigerant pressure of the inverter compressor incorporated in the refrigerator; based on a deviation between the obtained set value of the suction refrigerant pressure and the actual pressure; A rotation speed command calculation unit for obtaining a rotation speed command related to the inverter compressor; or an ambient temperature of each showcase (an average value of each ambient temperature, or one of representative values) A pressure set value calculation unit for obtaining a set value relating to the suction refrigerant pressure of the inverter compressor incorporated in the refrigerator; based on a deviation between the obtained set value of the suction refrigerant pressure and the actual pressure, And a rotation speed command calculation unit for obtaining a rotation speed command related to the inverter compressor.
[0010]
Therefore, according to the present invention, the pressure set value calculation unit (1) turns on / off the lighting provided in each showcase, that is, based on a load change due to power consumption of the lighting, or (2) sets the lighting of each showcase. Based on the ambient temperature, that is, the change in the amount of heat entering from the outside, a set value relating to the suction refrigerant pressure of the inverter compressor is obtained, and the rotational speed command calculation unit calculates the set value of the obtained suction refrigerant pressure and the actual value. Based on the deviation from the pressure, a rotational speed command for the inverter compressor can be obtained.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the block diagram showing the configuration of FIG. In FIG. 1, an integrated controller 38 is provided between the showcase group 1 and the refrigerator 6 as in the related art so as to comprehensively and rationally control the two. The general controller 38 includes a pressure set value calculator 48 and a rotation speed command calculator 5. The function of the pressure set value calculator 48 is as follows. In general, the cooling of the showcases 1A... Is performed by turning on and off the lights (fluctuations in power consumption due to turning on and off) and changes in the ambient temperature of the showcases 1A. The load changes. Therefore, it is necessary to increase or decrease the refrigeration function in accordance with this for energy-saving operation of the showcase. In order to increase or decrease the refrigerating function, the set value related to the suction refrigerant pressure of the inverter compressor 9 built in the refrigerator 6 is changed, thereby making it possible to save energy throughout the year.
[0012]
The pressure set value calculation unit 48 performs compression, which will be described later, on the basis of each command signal for turning on and off the lighting 60A provided in each showcase 1A and a temperature signal from a temperature sensor 61A for measuring the ambient temperature. The pressure set value relating to the suction refrigerant pressure of the machine 9 is calculated and obtained. In practice, a common light-on / light-off command signal transmitted to each of the lights 60A at the time of opening and closing of the store is transmitted to the pressure set value calculating unit 48 almost simultaneously. Each of the temperature sensors 61A has a form attached to each of the showcases 1A, and the pressure set value calculating section 48 calculates an average value of the temperature signals from each of the temperature sensors 61A. However, since the ambient temperature is generally common except when the installation environment is particularly different, it can be represented by any one of the temperature sensors 61A. The pressure set value is transmitted to the rotation speed command calculation unit 5 and, as will be described in detail below, the rotation of the compressor 9 based on the deviation between the pressure set value and the actual suction refrigerant pressure of the compressor 9. Find the number command (update).
[0013]
Here, the configuration of the rotation speed command calculation unit 5 will be described with reference to a block diagram showing the configuration of the rotation speed command calculation unit 5 and the refrigerator 4 in FIG. In FIG. 4, a rotational speed command calculating unit 5 includes a deviation means indicated by a circle for obtaining a deviation between a pressure set value input from a preceding stage and a pressure measured value from a pressure sensor 7 of the refrigerator 6, and a PID calculator 10. Consists of The pressure deviation is converted into a rotational speed command for the compressor via the PID calculator 10 and transmitted to the compressor 9 via the inverter 8 on the side of the refrigerator 6 to change the rotational speed. The suction refrigerant pressure of the compressor 9 is fed back to the deviation means of the rotational speed command calculation unit 5 via the pressure sensor 7, where a negative feedback control circuit for setting the input pressure target value is formed. The compressor rotation speed is controlled such that the average value decreases as the pressure set value increases, and the average value increases as the pressure set value decreases.
[0014]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the correspondence between the turning on / off of the showcase lighting and the pressure set value in relation to the update of the pressure set value. In the figure, the upper side is a time chart of simultaneous lighting and extinguishing of illumination, and the lower side is a time chart of a pressure set value corresponding thereto. A lower pressure set value Sp2 was experimentally obtained in response to lighting ON (lighting), and an upper pressure set value Sp1 corresponding to OFF (light out). Here, Sp1 = 3.0 Kgf / cm 2 and Sp2 = 2.0 Kgf / cm 2 .
[0015]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the correspondence between the ambient temperature of the showcase and the pressure set value in relation to the update of the pressure set value. In the figure, as the ambient temperature of the showcase increases stepwise as 10 to 15, 15 to 20, 20 to 25,..., 30 to 35 (unit: ° C.), the pressure set value becomes 2. 3, 2.2, 2.1,..., 1.6 (unit: Kgf / cm 2 ) was obtained experimentally. The ambient temperature of the showcase may be an average value of the ambient temperatures of the respective showcases 1A as described above, or may be a representative value.
[0016]
Therefore, the pressure set value calculating section 48 in FIG. 1 obtains the pressure set value by adding the components of FIGS. 2 and 3 described above.

【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, on the one hand, the lighting / extinguishing of the lighting provided in each showcase (almost simultaneous opening / closing at the time of opening and closing of the store), that is, the load fluctuation of the power consumption related to the lighting is considered. The other is to operate the refrigerator by controlling the rotation speed of the inverter compressor to match the cooling load in consideration of the ambient temperature of each showcase, that is, the fluctuation of the amount of heat entering from the outside. Is performed rationally, so that energy saving can be achieved throughout the year. In addition, since the inverter compressor is rotated at an appropriate rotation speed, the frequency of operation and stoppage of the compressor is reduced, and the variation in the temperature of the showcase, that is, the fluctuation range, can be reduced, thereby increasing the height of the product. It can support freshness management.
