Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for thawing and drying a refrigeration system, such as for example a freezer, especially a spiral freezer.
- the known defrosting methods such as those using open doors or the intake of cold water can be realized, however - at least partially - not inconsiderable disadvantages. For example, become a freezer thawed warm water, this can destroy the insulation in the medium term as well as various parts, such as the connection of two materials with different expansion coefficients.
- Drying freezers that have a conveyor such as this is the case with the so-called spiral freezers, before (restarting) it makes sense or necessary, otherwise there will be ice on the transport system when driving cold could form, which in turn creates major problems with the funding mechanism can result.
- the object of the present invention is a method for thawing and drying a refrigeration system, such as a freezer, by means of which the mentioned disadvantages can be avoided.
- the defrost duration should as well as the drying time are reduced; next to all hygienic Requirements are met.
- nitrogen is preferably used as the warm gas and / or gas mixture and / or a nitrogen-rich stream is used.
- the temperature of the used Gas and / or gas mixture is at least 100 ° C.
- the amount of heat introduced can be gentle, controlled and hygienic Defrosting and drying of the refrigeration system can be realized.
- the purity of the gas and / or gas mixture used can be the proportion of in the freezer introduced foreign components, such as microorganisms, are minimized.
- Warm nitrogen can also absorb a lot of moisture. This is especially when drying conveyor systems, such as the belt one Spiral freezer, an advantage. After flushing the refrigeration system or those Areas of the refrigeration system that need to be dried leave the nitrogen Refrigeration system again and takes the moisture with it.
- the advantages over that previous drying processes "leave doors open" are obvious because neither new dirt or new microorganisms can get into the refrigeration system.
- heated or heated ambient air is also suitable as a defrost and Dry gas. Under certain circumstances, it may make sense that the ambient air in front the supply to the refrigeration system to be defrosted for cleaning - for example one Adsorption and / or filtering process - is subjected.
- the method according to the invention for thawing and drying a refrigeration system enables a shortening of the defrosting and drying time and thus one longer operating time of the respective refrigeration system; beyond that it brings Hygienic improvements.
- Liquid nitrogen is removed from a liquid nitrogen tank 1 via line 2 and supplied to an evaporator 3.
- the vaporized and thus gaseous nitrogen is fed from the evaporator 3 via line 4 to a valve 5. Subsequently the gaseous nitrogen passes through a line 6 into a nozzle 7, through which it enters the Freezer 10 - a spiral freezer is shown in the figure - is introduced.
- nozzle 7 For the sake of clarity, only one nozzle 7 is shown in the figure; it is however, it goes without saying that a large number of nozzles are provided in practice can. These are preferably so-called flat nozzles for conveyor belt drying educated. If a transport system is provided within the freezer 10, it is expedient if the nozzles are aimed at this. It is important to ensure, that the materials used within the freezer in the immediate flow area of the warm gas can withstand the set gas temperatures.
- a steam or gas heater 8 which is the Heating the gaseous nitrogen to the desired defrost temperature.
- a controllable electric heater for example, is a controllable electric heater.
- this is also conceivable for any other possibility of heating the Allows gas and / or gas mixture to the desired temperature.
- the temperature of the Cooling system supplied warm gas and / or gas mixture by means of adjustable electric heater is controlled.
- Gas (mixed) current should preferably be provided with a temperature sensor 9 become.
- the defrost and drying gas or, of course, the nitrogen is produced in any other desired manner become.
- nitrogen there are cryogenic, adsorptive and / or Membrane separation processes conceivable. It is also available in a storage container possible.
