具体实施方式
本发明体现在一种系统中，所述系统在冰箱的隔间/保鲜盒(18)内产生低于露点温度的局部温度，以便从空气中提取冷凝物。所述系统提取所述冷凝水后，将其收集起来并将其从冰箱内部去除。创建这种局部的、低于露点的温度并不是为了改变环境(例如整个冰箱)的温度，而是从冰箱隔间(例如保鲜盒)内的空气中提取水分。
作为背景，典型的冰箱具有蒸发器和冷凝器。典型的冰箱蒸发器在制冷剂进入冰箱压缩机之前将其变成气态。制冷剂(气态)在离开蒸发器时是冷的。(此信息是对大多数冰箱中存在的典型制冷循环的部分回顾。)
本发明通过将180°水套(11)改装到管路上来使用冰箱的冷蒸发器回流管线或吸入管线。所述水套11和所述回流管线之间的能量传递冷却所述180°水套(11)内的传热流体。所述传热液体与冰箱保鲜盒(18)内的冷板(22)流体连通(通常通过软管)。所述冷板(22)通过流体回路冷却，所述回路将热量从保鲜盒(18)的空气通过本发明的水套(11)传递到冰箱的制冷剂气体(在它离开蒸发器之后)。一旦冷却，冷板(22)在保鲜盒(18)内形成局部冷却的特征。这种热传递将导致在冰箱内部引入受控的局部冷却的特征，也就是冷板(22)。
如图3和4所示，优选实施例将水套(11)安装在携带冰箱的冷制冷剂气体并离开冰箱蒸发器的管路上。所述流体回路将所述水套(11)连接到冷板(22)。所述冷板(22)是冷却的特征，可从冰箱内的空气中抽出冷凝水。所述水套(11)和所述冷板(22)之间的所述回路中的所述流体允许任何合适的流体流动，以将热量从所述冷板传递到所述冰箱的制冷剂。
这种传热流体可以是盐水、Coolanol、乙二醇与水混合、乙二醇与氧化铜和水，或任何其他合适的传热流体。由于这些管线/管路(16)没有承受任何可察觉的压力，它们可以由具有固有绝缘特性的廉价、柔性、塑料管构成。虽然所述服务回路中的所述流体流动可能通过自然热诱导流动发生，但泵是创建流动模式的首选方法。蠕动泵(14)是此应用的首选泵。蠕动泵(14)可以以非常低的功耗提供小体积和稳定/一致的流量。命令蠕动泵(14)开/关的控制逻辑可以利用保鲜盒内的湿度传感器。或者，泵(14)可以使用冰箱现有的二元或三元开关通过冰箱现有的冷凝器风扇(或压缩机电机)打开/关闭。理想情况下，泵(14)将与冷凝器风扇使用的电源或其他一些现有的冰箱电压兼容。
尽管优选实施例没有风扇，如果与冷板(22)相邻的循环风扇引导空气穿过冷板的表面，则可以加快从空气中提取水分。冷板(22)的首选方向是水平的，见图13。水平方向最大化面向其下方食品的暴露的冷表面。特定的保鲜盒(18)几何形状可能决定垂直冷板(22)安装，见图14。冷板(22)暴露于食物的表面有槽(2)，向冷板冷凝水储存槽(4)倾斜，见图3、10和11。在通过冷板冷凝水储存槽排放口(5)重力将收集的冷凝水输送到冰箱更大的滴水盘/排水盘(17)之前，所述冷板冷凝水储存槽(4)暂时存储来自槽(2)的冷凝水径流。
冷凝槽(2)的最小推荐倾斜角为3度。冷板冷凝水储存槽(4)的底板同样应具有至少3度的坡度，以促进收集的冷凝水的排放。
通过冷板(22)(低于露点温度)从空气中提取的水分需要从冰箱内部去除。这种冷凝水可以由冰箱现有的滴水盘/排水盘(17)收集和/或连接到外部设施/建筑物排水管。或者，冷凝物收集盘可由用户手动排出。浮动液位开关可以进一步提醒用户冷凝水收集盘的满/空状态。
180°水套(11)显示为半圆柱体，因此可以在不破坏离开蒸发器的加压和密封制冷剂管线的情况下进行安装和维护。更传统的水套类似于管中的管子，维护/安装会更具破坏性。这个180°水套(11)可以用导热胶/环氧树脂(19)固定到冰箱的蒸发器回水管(23)。或者，软管夹或鞍形夹也可以轻松快速安装水套(11)。有关固定倒钩(13)的示例，请参见图9，它可以合并到水套中，从而使水套(11)卡入到位。
面向食物隔间的冷板的表面(这是带有槽的表面区域)应该是被控制的食物隔间或保鲜盒总占地面积(地板空间)的大约15％。
与冰箱制冷剂管(离开蒸发器)(23)接触的水套表面积应约为冷板面向食物隔间的表面积的一半。所述比率可根据传热流体的流速而变化。传热流体的流速应设置得尽可能低，以达到刚好低于冷板(22)露点温度(作为接触温度)的温度。冷凝水的形成是一个放热过程。这种由冷凝水形成产生的热量将抵消部分由冷板(22)和传热流体引入保鲜盒的冷量。
传热流体(Coolanol、盐水、乙二醇加水、丙二醇加水等)流量应足以将冷板(22)处的接触温度保持在水的冰点温度以上。这将确保在冷板(22)上形成的冷凝水不会冻结，从而阻止冷凝水的排放。这将确保设备保持在低于保鲜盒(18)中露点温度的温度。作为预防措施，传热流体将始终选择具有低于水的冻结温度的冻结温度，以消除传热流体冻结的可能性。
