Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerated display counter of the tank type, according to the preamble to the main claim.
- the problem upon which the present invention is based is that of providing a refrigerated display counter which is designed structurally and functionally to optimize the cooling of the products displayed, by the circulation of cooled air above and below the display surface.
- a refrigerated display counter of the tank type formed in accordance with the present invention, is generally indicated 1.
- the counter 1 there is a base 2 containing a motor-condenser unit 3, above which there is a substantially tank-shaped insulated structure 4.
- a shopkeeper side 5 and a customer side 6 are identified in the counter 1.
- a display surface 7 defined inside the display counter 1 is accessible from the shopkeeper side through an opening 8 but is protected on the customer side by a glass structure 9.
- Cooled-air circulation means generally indicated 10 and including an evaporator 11 and an electric fan 12, are disposed beneath the display surface 7.
- Means constituted by a grid 13a extending along the side of the display surface adjacent the glass 9 for taking in cooled air from the display surface, and means, generally indicated 13b, for delivering cooled air to the display surface, are identified.
- the delivery means 13b are delimited by a wall 16 which extends beneath the display surface in a position spaced from a further wall 17 which, together with the wall 16, defines a delivery duct 18 downstream of the evaporator 11.
- the second wall 17 also delimits a chamber 19 for preserving products, which is accessible through a door 19a from the shopkeeper side and which is in communication with the cooled air-flow circulating in the delivery duct 18 by means of respective openings 20, 21.
- the first of these openings constitute deflector means for tapping off a fraction of the cooled air-flow to cool the products preserved in the chamber 19.
- the delivery duct 18 opens into a rising duct 23 disposed close to the shopkeeper side, oriented substantially vertically relative to the display surface 7, and having an upper opening 23a disposed beneath a shelf 24, in order to distribute a portion of the cooled air-flow circulating in the delivery duct above the display surface 7 so as to cool the products displayed.
- Deflector means are disposed in the rising duct 23 to deflect the remaining portion of the cooled air-flow under the display surface so as to cool the products displayed, by contact.
- deflector means are located in an intermediate portion of the rising duct 23 in which the cooled-air flow-rate is known and is substantially constant. It is thus possible to distribute the cooled air-flow above and below the display surface 7 in a known manner which can be determined in the factory.
- the deflector means comprise a plate 26 with a first portion 26a extending in a plane substantially parallel to the direction of the cooled air-flow in the rising duct 23, coinciding with the axis of the duct, and a second portion 26b disposed at right angles to the first and fixed to a wall 28 which delimits the rising duct at the rear of the display surface 7.
- the deflector means 25 also comprise a complementary plate 29 which defines, with the above-mentioned first plate 26, a downward duct in which the flow takes place in the opposite direction to the main flow in the rising duct 23.
- This downward duct is intended to direct the flow separated by the plate 26 towards a distribution duct 30 extending below the display surface, between the latter and the wall 16 of the delivery duct.
- a fraction of the air circulation downstream of the evaporator is taken off in the first tapping-off and serves for cooling the products preserved in the chamber 19. This fraction of the air-flow is directed back into the delivery duct through the opening 21. As a result of these tappings from and readmissions to the first portion of the delivery duct, there is considerable turbulence in the air-flow downstream of the evaporator.
