Zusammenfassung:Described is, among other things, a cooling system comprising a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator wherein a refrigerant is circulated is provided. The cooling system further comprises a valve interconnected in the flow of the refrigerant from the condenser to the evaporator. The valve is operatively controlled to a first, open, state when the compressor is in an on-phase and to a second, closed, state when the compressor is in an off state by a controller. The controller is adapted to control the valve to operate in accordance with at least one of: - opening (401) the valve a first variable time period before the compressor is switched to an on-phase; where the first variable time period is set in response to an external parameter obtained by the controller, and/or - closing (409) the valve a second variable time period before the compressor is switched to an off-phase, where the second variable time period is set in response to an external parameter obtained by the controller.
