A system for controlling temperatures in and the flow of air between freezer and fresh food compartments of a refrigerator incorporates a thermal mass that is adapted to receive a flow of air directed from the freezer compartment to the fresh food compartment. The thermal mass is associated with a temperature sensor that is connected to a manually adjustable thermostat unit. In the preferred embodiment, the temperature sensor comprises a capillary tube which is wrapped around an outer surface portion of the thermal mass. Structure is provided in the air passageway between the freezer and fresh food compartments to regulate the flow of air over the thermal mass. By regulating the flow over the thermal mass, as well as establishing a desired thermal mass size and location, the control system can achieve desired operational cycles in order to minimize energy consumption and to minimize any variance of the number of cycles over a given period of time between various refrigerator units.

Dispositif de réglage de la température des compartiments de congélation et de réfrigération d'un réfrigérateur et de réglage de l'échange d'air entre ces deux compartiments, comportant une masse thermique placée dans le passage d'air du compartiment de congélation au compartiment de réfrigération. La masse thermique est associée à un capteur de température relié à un thermostat à réglage manuel. Dans une variante privilégiée de l'invention, le capteur de température comporte un tube capillaire enroulé autour d'une partie de la surface de la masse thermique. Un mécanisme placé dans le passage d'air entre le compartiment congélateur et le compartiment réfrigérateur permet de régler le débit d'air passant sur la masse thermique. Le réglage de l'échange d'air ainsi que le choix de la dimension et de l'emplacement de la masse thermique permettent d'obtenir des cycles de fonctionnement réduisant au minimum la consommation d'énergie de même que les différences de nombre de cycles par unité de temps entre différents appareils.
