Definitions
- the present invention relates to heat exchangers in that it relates to a device which, after having been previously frozen, refrigerates devices, materials, or foodstuffs, and in particular perishable foodstuffs, of any shape and size.
- the present invention proposes to overcome these disadvantages by offering its users an easily deformable chiller once frozen, can be easily 'cut out without special precautions and can be agrndi at will by a simple operation onlycesstant tools.
- a device comprises an indefinite number of watertight plastic envelopes, containing a usual eutectic solution or gel, hereinafter called: "cooling elements", connected together by cruciform bonds in strictly necessary numbers. and sufficient, and arranged between them so as to give the device, according to a first characteristic, the configuration of an openwork plastic mesh.
- Cooling elements a usual eutectic solution or gel
- Each refrigerating element of the device is separated from the neighboring refrigerating elements by an empty gap of sufficient width to allow the passage of any plastic link, not described in the present application, making it possible to connect between them several elements or groups of refrigerating elements by simple ligation. These empty intervals also determine the lines along which the device can be cut.
- the present refrigerating device can be easily curved, folded, and that by combining ligatures, plastic deformations and cutouts, it can be shaped according to most envelopes of volumes allowed for "thin plates", without limitation. in size, to ensure the greatest possible contact surface between the cooling elements and the objects or foodstuffs to be cooled.
- the volume of the cooling elements can be entirely on one side of the plane defined by the connections between cooling elements;
- the volume of the cooling elements can be equally or not distributed on either side of the plane defined by the connections between cooling elements;
- the refrigerating elements making up the device may not be identical in volume and shape.
- Figure 1 is an isometric representation of a cooling element of the device
- Figure 2 shows in plan a group of cooling elements forming the device reduced to nine elements
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the device shown in Figure 2, along the axis AA;
- Figure 4 is an isometric representation of a cooling element of the device
- Figure 5 shows in plan a group of cooling elements forming the device reduced to nine elements
- Figure 6b shows a cross section of the device shown in Figure 5 along the axis AA.
- the device comprises an undefined number of cooling elements (1) composed of two plastic sheets (2) and (3) forming a sealed envelope containing a solution or a eutectic gel (4), and resolving on their periphery in a flat (5) extending into tongues (6) forming cruciform connections (7) connecting the cooling elements (1) between them and determining empty intervals (8) between the cooling elements (l).
- the empty intervals (8) allow the passage of any plastic links (9), in order to connect one or more cooling elements (1) by simple tying, and constitute the possible cutting axes of the device.
- a refrigerating element will have dimensions of the order of 10 centimeters for the length, 3 centimeters for the width and 2.5 centimeters for the thickness; the cruciform connections will determine empty intervals of a width of the order of 5 millimeters between the refrigerating elements.
- the device according to the invention can be used by individuals or by health professionals for "therapeutic purposes, while being particularly intended for the refrigeration of food and drinks.
- it can be used by transporters, distributors, traders: the invention is interesting for professionals in that it can constitute large surfaces which are easily modular and easy to maintain.
- the dimensional and formal adaptability of the invention also makes it suitable for individuals: campers, hikers, athletes and others.
- the device according to the invention will preferably be made from one of the many polymers available in the industry, by way of non-limiting example: polyethylene, P.V.C., A.B.S. etc ...
