Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container with at least one cooling module, the means for Includes a coolant.
  • Cold storage devices for storing and transporting refrigerated goods are known, in which liquefied gases are used as coolants. It is common that liquid gas at the top of a container to be cooled insert drawer-like reservoir. As is known, the cold is over the partition of the reservoir to the refrigerated goods in the cold room, and evaporated refrigerant is passed into the cold room for further product cooling. at However, this arrangement has disadvantages: on the one hand, it is expensive Precautions to prevent liquid refrigerant from entering To hit the refrigerator compartment, as this can damage the refrigerated goods.
  • cooling is used here and below for cooling and keeping cold in the Range of plus degrees and minus degrees used.
  • the present invention has for its object a device for product-friendly cooling adapted to the needs of the refrigerated goods To be made available that are operated independently of a power supply can, and is therefore particularly suitable for the transport and storage of refrigerated goods.
  • the cooling module as hollow at least partially in the area of the side walls of the container Wall is executed, the hollow wall for receiving coolant is provided.
  • the hollow wall is designed as a hollow U-profile, which is filled with liquid coolant. With this configuration there is a big one Surface available over which a heat exchange takes place. The cooling capacity of the coolant can be used optimally.
  • the cooling module preferably has means for delivering coolant vapor to the Interior of the container. Contact with the coolant vapor will Chilled goods advantageously cooled evenly.
  • the cooling module is particularly preferably adjustable in height in the region of the side walls attached to the container. This has the advantage that, for example, the Temperature distribution within certain limits on the distribution of the load Chilled goods can be set in the container.
  • the cooling module with guide rails executed horizontally displaceable along the side walls of the container.
  • This Design allows easy replacement of a cooling module, as well as a Extending the cooling module from the container, for example for cleaning purposes.
  • the cooling module is in the area of the side walls of the container integrated into the container walls This has the advantage to be particularly space-saving.
  • the container wall is preferably good towards the surroundings isolated. Vacuum insulation is particularly preferred.
  • the interior of the container is advantageously separated by at least one horizontal one Separation layer divided into at least two areas.
  • This is particularly advantageous Cooling module designed so that different in the different areas Temperatures prevail.
  • the cooling module is located along the upper half of the side walls of the container, being at the level of the lower end a horizontal partition is attached to the cooling module. That means two Storage areas for refrigerated goods are available, a lower warmer area and an upper one colder area. This is particularly useful for storing or transporting Different types of refrigerated goods in one container are an advantage.
  • At least one means for supplying coolant is expediently provided, in particular, this means is provided in the area of the side walls of the container.
  • the means for supplying coolant with a source for is particularly expedient Coolant connectable.
  • Coolant liquefied gases especially liquid nitrogen
  • carbon dioxide in particular liquid carbon dioxide
  • the container expediently has insulation that thermally isolates the container shields from the ambient temperature.
  • the container is advantageously designed such that it is used for transport and / or Storage of refrigerated goods, especially food to be cooled, is suitable.
  • Food-compatible materials such as, for example, are expedient Stainless steel, provided.
  • the invention In contrast to conventional food temperature control devices is with the invention a product gentle and to the needs of Cooling device adapted cooling device provided.
  • the flow of the Container with cold gas ensures, among other things, a homogeneous Temperature distribution in the refrigerated goods.
  • the refrigerated goods can be in the Interior of the container are cooled evenly.
  • the good dosing of the LPG used significantly contributes to the fact that the use of coolant can be sensibly minimized.
  • the invention enables Container due to the large surface of the cooling module a very good one Heat transfer and even temperature distribution, as well as efficient Use of the cooling capacity provided.
  • the possibility of A large division of the interior of the container into different cooling areas Advantage for the storage of different refrigerated goods in one container.
  • the device according to the invention is also extremely suitable for Transport refrigeration. It is independent of a permanent energy supply in the To operate the cold keeping phase.
  • the structure of the device is made selected a few components simply and robustly, which meets the requirements of one Transport container in terms of transport weight and durability.
  • Figure 1 shows a container (1) according to the invention with a cooling module (2), the one Supply (3) for coolant and a means (4) for releasing coolant vapor into the Has interior of the container (1).
  • Figure 2 shows a container (1) according to the invention with a cooling module (2), the several means (4) for delivering coolant vapor into the interior of the container (1) having. This arrangement ensures an even distribution of the gaseous Coolant in the tank (1) reached.
  • Figure 2 shows a horizontal Partition (5) which is designed as an insulating plate or as a eutectic plate.
  • the container is designed so that in the area above the Partition (5) a temperature of + 1 ° C to + 3 ° C and in the area below the Partition (5) a temperature of + 5 ° C to + 7 ° C prevails.
  • FIG. 3 shows a container (1) according to the invention, in the side walls Cooling module (2) is integrated.
  • the side walls have insulation (7) on.
