Description
La présente invention a pour objet un appareil frigorifique pour le refroidissement unitaire d'objets cylindriques ou des emballages cylindriques contenant des liquides.The present invention relates to a refrigeration device for unit cooling of cylindrical objects or cylindrical packages containing liquids.
Le secteur technique de l'invention est celui des matériels entrant dans le cadre de l'industrie du froid.The technical sector of the invention is that of equipment falling within the framework of the refrigeration industry.
Il est déjà connu d'utiliser des évaporateurs hélicoïdaux en vue d'obtenir le refroidissement des canettes de bière notamment,dans le noyau vide duquel on introduit la bouteille à refroidir.It is already known to use helical evaporators in order to obtain the cooling of beer cans in particular, in the empty core of which the bottle to be cooled is introduced.
Pou un bon transfert des frigories, on sait qu'un bon contact est nécessaire entre la bouteille et le serpentin de l'évaporateur, ce qui suppose une rigoureuse correspondance des côtes des parties en contact.For a good transfer of frigories, we know that good contact is necessary between the bottle and the evaporator coil, which supposes a rigorous correspondence of the ribs of the parts in contact.
Cet impératif exclut donc les récipients dont la surface latérale comporte des reliefs, par exemple des gravures, pour des bouteilles ou des bourrelets de sertissage pour les boîtes ou les fûts.This requirement therefore excludes containers whose lateral surface has reliefs, for example engravings, for bottles or crimp beads for boxes or barrels.
La transmission du froid dans les appareils connus se fait d'ailleurs en de mauvaises conditions puisque les surfaces d'échange sont forcément réduites au contact pouvant exister entre le serpentin et le récipient, ce qui se traduit pour la plupart du temps à une simple génératrice de l'hélice.The transmission of cold in known devices is also made in poor conditions since the exchange surfaces are necessarily reduced to the contact that may exist between the coil and the container, which for the most part results in a simple generator of the propeller.
La présente invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient.The present invention aims to remedy this drawback.
L'objectif à atteindre est un appareil frigorifique comportant un évaporateur permettant l'introduction du récipient à refroidir non seulement par ses extrémités mais encore latéralement, ce qui permet par exemple de refroidir des bouteilles comportant des reliefs (mention de contenance, marque de fabrique ...) ou des boîtes à fonds sertis.The objective to be achieved is a refrigerating apparatus comprising an evaporator allowing the introduction of the container to be cooled not only by its ends but also laterally, which makes it possible for example to cool bottles comprising reliefs (mention of capacity, trade mark. ..) or crimped bottom boxes.
Cet objectif est atteint par l'appareil frigorifique selon l'invention pour refroidir des objets cylindriques ou des emballages cylindriques contenant des liquides et comportant dans le sens du déplacement du fluide de réfrigération : un compresseur, un condenseur, un détendeur et un évaporateur, caractérisé en ce que ledit évaporateur est constitué par une enceinte formée par une double paroi étanche sur son pourtour, laquelle enceinte adopte la forme générale d'un cylindre ouvert à ses extrémités et sur la hauteur de l'enceinte et dont le diamètre interne est sensiblement égal à celui dudit objet ou dudit emballage sur lequel l'enceinte est au contact pendant la phase de réfrigération.This objective is achieved by the refrigerating apparatus according to the invention for cooling cylindrical objects or cylindrical packages containing liquids and comprising in the direction of movement of the refrigerating fluid: a compressor, a condenser, a pressure reducer and an evaporator, characterized in that said evaporator is constituted by an enclosure formed by a tight double wall around its periphery, which enclosure adopts the general shape of a cylinder open at its ends and over the height of the enclosure and whose internal diameter is substantially equal to that of said object or said packaging on which the enclosure is in contact during the refrigeration phase.
Dans un mode de réalisation, l'enceinte est d'une section droite au moins demi-circulaire.In one embodiment, the enclosure is of a cross section at least semi-circular.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'évaporateur comporte un réseau de canalisation en boucles occupant la quasi totalité de la surface de l'évaporateur et dans lequel réseau circule le fluide frigorifique. De préférence lesdites canalisations sont d'une section-droite aplatie.In another embodiment, the evaporator comprises a network of pipes in loops occupying almost the entire surface of the evaporator and in which network circulates the refrigerating fluid. Preferably said pipes are of a flattened cross section.
Dans un tel évaporateur, la face interne de l'enceinte est lisse pour être étroitement plaquée sur l'objet ou l'emballage cylindrique à refroidir.In such an evaporator, the internal face of the enclosure is smooth so as to be tightly pressed against the object or the cylindrical package to be cooled.
Dans un mode d'exécution de l'appareil, le conduit d'aspiration et la tubulure provenant du détendeur débouchent dans la double paroi de l'enceinte ou dans des canalisations dudit réseau et au voisinage de l'un des deux bords qui délimitent son ouverture latérale,pour permettre la libre déformation élastique de l'évaporateur.In one embodiment of the device, the suction duct and the tubing coming from the regulator open into the double wall of the enclosure or into pipes of said network and in the vicinity of one of the two edges which delimit its lateral opening, to allow free elastic deformation of the evaporator.
Le résultat de l'invention est un appareil frigorifique permettant le refroidissement unitaire d'objets cylindriques ou de récipients cylindriques contenant des liquides tels que par exemple des boissons.The result of the invention is a refrigeration device allowing the unitary cooling of cylindrical objects or cylindrical containers containing liquids such as for example drinks.
L'évaporateur qui équipe ledit appareil offre la particularité d'être auto-serrant, c'est-à-dire d'appliquer sa face interne contre la paroi du récipient ou de l'objet à refroidir.The evaporator which equips said device offers the particularity of being self-tightening, that is to say of applying its internal face against the wall of the container or of the object to be cooled.
Cet auto-serrage est basé sur le principe de la déformation élastique d'un corps creux métallique soumis à une variation de pression d'un fluide. Ce principe est déjà appliqué dans de nombreux dispositifs comme les pressiomètres dits "tube de Bourdon" comportant un tube recourbé dont l'extrémité ouverte d'entrée est fixe et l'extrémité fermée opposée agit mécaniquement sur un organe mobile (aiguille, rupteur etc.) quand le tube se déforme sous l'effet de la pression du fluide.This self-tightening is based on the principle of the elastic deformation of a metallic hollow body subjected to a pressure variation of a fluid. This principle is already applied in many devices such as the so-called "Bourdon tube" pressuremeters comprising a curved tube, the open inlet end of which is fixed and the opposite closed end acts mechanically on a movable member (needle, breaker, etc.). ) when the tube deforms under the effect of the fluid pressure.
Selon la présente invention, il ne s'agit plus d'un tube mais d'une enceinte méplate obtenue par enroulement concentrique de deux plaques de hauteur égale; la plaque extérieure sera plus longue de la différence : A L = A D x 3,14, par rapport à la plaque intérieure, A D étant la différence entre les diamètres moyens des deux plaques assemblées et Q la portion de circonférence totale occupée par l'ensemble.According to the present invention, it is no longer a tube but a flat enclosure obtained by concentric winding of two plates of equal height; the outer plate will be longer by the difference: A L = A D x 3.14, compared to the inner plate, A D being the difference between the average diameters of the two assembled plates and Q the portion of total circumference occupied by the assembly.
Si on applique une pression P entre les deux plaques assemblées, la force extérieure Pl = P x S extérieur étant plus importante que la force P2 = P x S intérieur, la force résultante PR = P x Δ S s'exercera vers l'extérieur et tendra à dérouler l'ensemble, en écartant les bords extrêmes du montage. Une diminution de pression tendra à la manoeuvre inverse c'est-à-dire diminuer le volume délimité par la plaque intérieure.If a pressure P is applied between the two assembled plates, the external force Pl = P x S outside being greater than the force P2 = P x S inside, the resulting force PR = P x Δ S will be exerted towards the outside and will tend to unroll the whole, drawing aside the extreme edges of the assembly. A decrease in pressure will tend to the reverse maneuver, that is to say decrease the volume delimited by the inner plate.
C'est cet effet que l'invention se propose d'utiliser pour obtenir un auto-serrage du récipient par l'évaporateur.It is this effect that the invention proposes to use to obtain self-tightening of the container by the evaporator.

On se reporte d'abord aux figures 1 et 2 du dessin qui illustrent un appareil et un évaporateur selon l'invention dans un mode de réalisation.Reference is first made to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawing which illustrate an apparatus and an evaporator according to the invention in one embodiment.
L'appareil frigorifique selon l'invention comporte un évaporateur d'une forme générale cylindrique 1 pour entourer étroitement un objet cylindrique, un compresseur 2, un condenseur 3 par exemple du type ventilé et un détendeur 4, par exemple un serpentin hélicoidal capillaire.The refrigeration apparatus according to the invention comprises an evaporator of a generally cylindrical shape 1 for closely surrounding a cylindrical object, a
Ledit évaporateur 1 se compose de deux plaques courbes la/lb, par exemple en alliage d'aluminium, lesquelles plaques sont cintrées suivant des rayons Rl/R2, sont parallèles entre elles et sont rejointes à leurs extrémités haute, basse et latérale 1c/1d/1e/1f où elles sont solidarisées par laminage à chaud ou par soudure.Said evaporator 1 consists of two curved plates la / lb, for example of aluminum alloy, which plates are curved along radii Rl / R2, are parallel to each other and are joined at their upper, lower and
Ledit évaporateur forme ainsi une double paroi qui délimite une enceinte dans laquelle circule le fluide frigorifique.Said evaporator thus forms a double wall which delimits an enclosure in which the refrigerant circulates.
Comme cela est illustré sur le dessin, l'évaporateur adopte la forme générale d'un fer à cheval et est ouvert à ses extrémités haute et basse et également sur une partie de sa paroi latérale, l'ouverture latérale étant ainsi délimitée par les bords le/If de la double paroi. Selon cette conception, l'évaporateur 1 peut être doté d'une ouverture plus ou moins large tel que cela est représenté aux figures 1, 3 et 4. De façon à ce que l'on puisse introduire latéralement les objets à refroidir (figures 3 & 4), il peut être formé d'une double paroi recouvrant la surface d'un demi-cylindre.As illustrated in the drawing, the evaporator adopts the general shape of a horseshoe and is open at its upper and lower ends and also on part of its lateral wall, the lateral opening being thus delimited by the edges the / If of the double wall. According to this design, the evaporator 1 can be provided with a more or less wide opening as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4. So that the objects to be cooled can be introduced laterally (FIGS. 3 & 4), it can be formed of a double wall covering the surface of a half-cylinder.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, et pour obtenir le refroidissement dans de meilleures conditions, la double paroi peut recouvrir la quasi totalité d'un cylindre. La figure illustre un évaporateur qui recouvre environ les trois-quarts d'un cylindre.In another embodiment, and to obtain cooling under better conditions, the double wall can cover almost all of a cylinder. The figure illustrates an evaporator which covers approximately three-quarters of a cylinder.
La particularité d'un tel échangeur est que les deux bords le/If qui délimitent l'ouverture latérale peuvent s'éloigner ou se rapprocher sous l'effet du fluide de refroidissement qui, comme cela a précédemment été exposé, étant à une pression P, exerce sur les parois internes de l'enceinte, des pressions de force Pl/P2 telles que leur résultante PR tend à "ouvrir" l'évaporateur tel que cela est illustré à la figure 3 et pour les raisons qui seront exposées plus loin.The peculiarity of such an exchanger is that the two edges le / If which delimit the lateral opening can move away or come closer under the effect of the cooling fluid which, as has been previously exposed, being at a pressure P , exerts on the internal walls of the enclosure, force pressures Pl / P2 such that their resultant PR tends to "open" the evaporator as illustrated in FIG. 3 and for the reasons which will be explained below.
Selon l'exemple de la figure 2, le conduit 5 est relié d'une part au détendeur 4, lequel est selon cet exemple un capillaire, et d'autre part à la partie supérieure de l'évaporateur 1, par exemple en haut et du côté du bord le. Le compresseur 2 est relié par le conduit 6 à la partie supérieure de l'évaporateur, ce conduit aboutissant au voisinage du bord If. Le conduit 6 est relié à l'aspiration du compresseur 2. Le fluide de refroidissement refoulé par le compresseur est envoyé par la canalisation 7 dans le condenseur 3 et est mis en circulation d'abord dans le détendeur 4 et ensuite dans l'évaporateur 1 en étant admis dans celui-ci par la tubulure 5. Le fluide admis dans la double paroi la/lb balaye l'enceinte comme cela est représenté par les flèches FI/F2.According to the example of FIG. 2, the
L'huile entraînée par le fluide est recueillie à la partie inférieure de l'échangeur et est évacuée par une tubulure 8 qui relie la partie inférieure de l'enceinte et le compresseur 2. Cette tubulure 8 est de très petite section pour éviter l'entraînement du fluide réfrigérant. Par exemple, cette tubulure 8 est située du côté du bord 1f de l'évaporateur, au-dessous de la conduite 6 et est reliée à cette dernière.The oil entrained by the fluid is collected at the lower part of the exchanger and is evacuated by a
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'évaporateur bien que d'une conception semblable à celle qui vient d'être décrite comporte (figures 5 et 7) un réseau de canalisations en boucles.In another embodiment, the evaporator although of a design similar to that which has just been described comprises (FIGS. 5 and 7) a network of pipes in loops.
Dans cette conception (figure 7) la paroi interne lb est lisse pour favoriser l'échange au contact de l'objet à refroidir alors que la paroi externe la est ondulée pour former des canalisations 1g d'une section droite aplatie.In this design (FIG. 7) the
La circulation du fluide de refroidissement dans un évaporateur de ce type est illustrée à la figure 5 du dessin. Les canalisations 1g s'étendent dans le sens de la longueur de l'évaporateur, lequel est représenté à plat. Les canalisationslg sont ainsi parallèles entre elles et sont reliées l'une à l'autre en formant des boucles. Le fluide est admis à la partie supérieure de l'évaporateur et est aspiré à sa partie inférieure en circulant dans le sens des flèches. De cette façon, le fluide intéresse la totalité de la surface de l'évaporateur.The circulation of the cooling fluid in an evaporator of this type is illustrated in FIG. 5 of the drawing. The
Un appareil comportant un évaporateur de ce type est illustré à la figure 6 du dessin dont les parties 2, 3, 4 et 7 sont identiques à celles de la figure 2 précédemment décrite.An apparatus comprising an evaporator of this type is illustrated in FIG. 6 of the drawing, the
Le fluide frigorifique est admis par la tubulure 5, laquelle est reliée à un conduit lj qui débouche dans la partie supérieure de la canalisation lg extrême haute. La sortie du fluide est réalisée par un conduit lh ayant la même section que le conduit Ij, lequel conduit lh débouche à la partie inférieure de la canalisation Ig extrême basse.The refrigerant is admitted through the
Dans un mode d'exécution et pour des considérations d'ordre technologique, la tubulure lh d'aspiration du fluide s'étend sur une partie de la hauteur de l'enceinte et est ramenée au-dessous et au voisinage de la tubulure d'entrée lj.In one embodiment and for technological considerations, the fluid suction pipe lh extends over part of the height of the enclosure and is brought below and in the vicinity of the delivery pipe. entry lj.
Le conduit lh est relié au compresseur au moyen d'une butu- lure 9.The
On voit sur la figure 6 que, dans l'appareil qui est illustré, l'évaporateur peut se déformer librement du fait que les deux tubulures 5 et 9 sont situées du même côté et au voisinage du bord le de l'évaporateur, l'autre bord If étant ainsi libéré de toute contrainte mécanique.It can be seen in FIG. 6 that, in the device which is illustrated, the evaporator can deform freely due to the fact that the two
L'évaporateur selon les figures 5, 6 et 7 est par exemple réalisé selon le procédé de laminage à chaud et gonflage du circuit frigorifique, connu sous le nom "Rollbond".The evaporator according to Figures 5, 6 and 7 is for example produced by the hot rolling and inflation process of the refrigeration circuit, known as "Rollbond".
La pression dans l'évaporateur étant celle de la branche basse pression (sortie du détendeur-évaporateur-aspiration du compresseur) et variable selon le fluide frigorigène employé et les conditions d'utilisation, est inférieure ou au plus, égale à la moitié de la pression régnant dans la branche haute pression (refoulement compresseur, condenseur, entrée du détendeur), lorsque le système fonctionne normalement. A L'arrêt du compresseur cette basse pression s'égalise avec la haute pression, à une pression moyenne HP - BP + BP.The pressure in the evaporator being that of the low pressure branch (outlet of the expansion valve-evaporator-suction of the compressor) and variable depending on the refrigerant used and the conditions of use, is less than or at most, equal to half the pressure prevailing in the high pressure branch (compressor discharge, condenser, regulator inlet), when the system is operating normally. When the compressor stops, this low pressure is equalized with the high pressure, at an average pressure HP - BP + BP.
Il apparaît donc qu'entre les pressions régnant dans l'évaporateur à l'arrêt et en fonctionnement, il existe une différence notable.
- Exemples : A P pour Freon 12 1,5 bar
- A P pour Freon 22 3 bars
- Examples: AP for Freon 12 1.5 bar
- AP for Freon 22 3 bars
A l'arrêt, l'évaporateur subissant une pression intérieure plus importante tendra à se dérouler, permettant de placer en son centre l'objet à refroidir 10. Dès le démarrage du système frigorifique, la pression chutant dans l'évaporateur, le fera se refermer sur l'objet, assurant une liaïson thermique satisfaisante, et un bon rendement de l'appareil.When stopped, the evaporator undergoing greater internal pressure will tend to unwind, making it possible to place the object to be cooled in its
Ceci est démontré par la formule :
- K = 4,18 λ où K est le coefficient global de conductibilité e thermique exprimé en kilojoules par kilogramme kelvin par degré centigrade, où e est la distance séparant les surfaces d'échange, exprimée en mètres, et À le coefficient spécifique de conductibilité thermique du corps séparant les surfaces d'échange.
- K = 4.18 λ where K is the overall coefficient of thermal conductivity e expressed in kilojoules per kilogram kelvin per degree centigrade, where e is the distance separating the exchange surfaces, expressed in meters, and À the specific coefficient of thermal conductivity of the body separating the exchange surfaces.
Dans le rapport de K, K est proportionnel à À, et inversement proportionnel à la distance e.In the ratio of K, K is proportional to À, and inversely proportional to the distance e.
Pour augmenter K, il faut donc diminuer "e" par un bon serrage de l'évaporateur sur l'objet.To increase K, it is therefore necessary to decrease "e" by a good tightening of the evaporator on the object.
L'application la plus intéressante est le refroidissement d'objets cylindriques, s'inscrivant dans un évaporateur roulé à sa dimension exacte (fûts de bière de petites dimensions, bouteilles, boîtes cylindriques, etc.) devant être refroidis rapidement sur toute leur surface extérieure afin d'éviter la stratification thermique du liquide (chaud en haut, froid en bas), dans un appareil d'encombrement réduit; le remplacement du récipient 10 vide s'effectuant à l'arrêt de l'appareil.The most interesting application is the cooling of cylindrical objects, part of an evaporator rolled to its exact size (small beer kegs, bottles, cylindrical cans, etc.) which must be quickly cooled over their entire outer surface. to avoid thermal stratification of the liquid (hot at the top, cold at the bottom), in a space-saving device; the replacement of the
Une modification de quelques millimètres de la circonférence formée par l'évaporateur suffit à serrer ou relâcher l'objet 10. Ce système s'applique valablement pour la réfrigération de tout objet de section cylindrique ou approchante, comportant une courbe continue sur au moins la moitié de son périmètre, permettant une introduction latérale ou par les extrémités dans l'évaporateur.A change of a few millimeters in the circumference formed by the evaporator is sufficient to tighten or release the
En variante, l'évaporateur I peut comporter un ou plusieurs dispositifs de fermeture à genouillère ou similaire, pour obtenir manuellement l'application de la paroi interne lb de l'enceinte contre les objets ou récipients cylindriques à refroidir, lequel dispositif de verrouillage est fixé à la double paroi, au voisinage de chacun des bords latéraux le/lf de l'évaporateur.Alternatively, the evaporator I may include one or more toggle closure devices or the like, for manually obtaining the application of the
