Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerating apparatus, particularly of the domestic type, comprising an evaporator acting as a heat exchanger made of metal and adhesively secured to the outer surface of a wall of a refrigerating compartment formed of a plastic material.
- the rear wall of the refrigerating compartment and the surface of the evaporator participating in the thermal transition process are of planar configuration and connected in close contact with each other by means of a double-faced adhesive sheet or film interposed therebetween.
- the plastic material of which the refrigerating compartment is made (usually polystyrene) has a thermal expansion coefficient which is about three times that of the material of the evaporator (usually aluminum). Variations of temperature (for instance during transport of the apparatus, on starting operation of the apparatus for the first time, or during normal operation thereof) thus result in different expansion of the two components, which has to be accommodated by the double-faced adhesive film.
- the latter is selected to have an infinitesimally small thickness (about ten hundredth of a millimeter) so as not to interfere with the thermal exchange process, and also for economical reasons, in that a double-faced adhesive film of greater thickness, and thus more expensive, although ensuring a reliable mechanical connection, would excessively interfere with the thermal exchange process.
- this object is attained in a refrigerating apparatus, particularly of the domestic type, comprising a refrigerating compartment having walls of a plastic material, and at least one panel-shaped heat exchanger made of metal and mounted in contact with a wall of said refrigerating compartment by means of a double-faced adhesive film interposed therebetween, characterized in that the thermal transition surface between said heat exchanger panel and the adjacent wall of said refrigerating compartment is provided with discontinuities acting as expansion joints.
- FIG. 1 The figures of the drawing refer to a refrigerating apparatus provided with an evaporator/heat exchanger 5 of the so-called "hidden" type secured to the outer face of a rear wall 6 of a refrigerating compartment 7.
- Evaporator/heat exchanger 5 is of the "panel" type made by joining two metal sheets, preferably of aluminium, for example by the roll-bond method.
- the evaporator/heat exchanger may also be formed of a single metal sheet carrying a meandering tubular conduit secured thereto in a suitable manner and acting to convey a refrigerant.
- Refrigerating compartment 7 is of box-shaped configuration formed preferably of polystyrene by injection molding, vacuum drawing or a similar process.
- connection between evaporator panel 5 and rear wall 6 is accomplished by the interposition therebetween of a double-faced adhesive film (not shown) of an infinitesimally small thickness and having a surface area at least equal- ling that of evaporator panel 5.
- the body of evaporator panel 5 is formed with transversely extending incisions 8 passing therethrough.(fig. 1).
- conduits 11 for the refrigerant are formed to follow a course permitting the formation of a cruciform central incision 8A and of four peripheral incisions 8B.
- the incisions 8 thus permit evaporator panel 5 to adapt itself to the greatest expansions and contractions to which plastic wall 6 may be subjected without surpassing the limits of the adhesion capacity of the double-faced adhesive film joining the two components.
- the provision of the incisions 8 in evaporator panel 5 permits the dimensions of the latter to be increased over the limits imposed by the different thermal expansion characteristics of the materials employed and by the adhesion capacity of a double-faced adhesive film of infinitesimally small thickness. Any increase of the dimensions of the surface area of evaporator panel 5 may be accompanied by a corresponding increase of the number of incisions 8 acting as expansion joints, and thus of the number of partial surface areas defined therebetween.
- evaporator panel 5 may be of conventional construction, that is, not provided with incisions 8, while rear wall 6 of refrigerating compartment 7 is of a modified construction.
- Raised surface portions 9 may by way of example be of quadrangular shape, but may of course also have any other suitable configuration.
- these areas 10 act as deformable diaphragms permitting plastic wall 6 to adapt itself to the smaller expansion and contraction of the metal evaporator panel 5.
- Both of the described solutions permit an optimum bond to be achieved between a wall of a plastics material and a metallic heat exchanger by the interposition therebetween of a double-faced adhesive film of infinitesimally small thickness, with the metallic heat exchanger having a surface area of greater dimensions than formerly admissible in view of the adhesion capacity of a double-faced adhesive film of this type and of the different thermal expansion characteristics of the materials joined thereby. It is obvious that both of the described solutions may be employed in one and the same refrigerating apparatusso as to combine their individual advantages.
- the object of the invention is thus attained without the employ of complicated and expensive connection systems or materials the processing of which is difficult.
