A COOLING DEVICE COMPRISING A BIMETAL SWITCH

The present invention relates to a mechanically controlled cooling device (1) wherein the refrigeration process is performed effectively, comprising a fresh food compartment (2) wherein foodstuffs are placed to be cooled, a freezing compartment (3) kept at lower temperatures than the fresh food compartment (2) wherein foodstuffs are placed to be frozen, a compressor (4) that compresses and circulates the refrigerant fluid in the refrigeration cycle, a fresh food compartment evaporator (5) that provides the interior of the fresh food compartment (2) to be cooled, a freezing compartment evaporator (6) that provides the interior of the freezing compartment (3) to be cooled, at least one heater (7) disposed on and/or in the vicinity of the fresh food compartment evaporator (5) and a thermostatic switch (8) disposed on and/or in the vicinity of the fresh food compartment evaporator (5), controlling the operation of the compressor (4) depending on the temperature value detected thereby, characterized by a bimetal switch (9) disposed on and/or in the vicinity of the freezing compartment evaporator (6), connected in series to the heater (7) and controlling the operation of the heater (7) depending on the temperature value detected thereby.
