Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a container is known from DE 2 352 582.
  • cooling is used here and below for cooling and cold holding in the range of plus degrees and minus degrees.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device for gentle to the product and adapted to the needs of the refrigerated cooling available, which can be operated independently of a power supply, and is therefore particularly suitable for the transport and storage of refrigerated goods.
  • the container contains the features defined in claim 1.
  • the hollow wall is designed as a hollow U-profile, which is filled with liquid coolant. With this configuration is a large Surface available over which a heat exchange takes place. The cooling capacity of the coolant used can thus be used optimally.
  • the cooling module preferably has means for emitting coolant vapor to the interior of the container. By contact with the refrigerant vapor, the refrigerated goods are advantageously uniformly cooled.
  • the cooling module is mounted vertically adjustable in the region of the side walls of the container. This results in the advantage that, for example, the temperature distribution can be adjusted within certain limits to the distribution of the load of refrigerated goods in the container.
  • the cooling module is designed to be horizontally displaceable with guide rails along the side walls of the container. This embodiment allows a simple replacement of a cooling module, as well as an extension of the cooling module from the container, for example for cleaning purposes.
  • the cooling module is integrated in the region of the side walls of the container in the container walls This has the advantage of being particularly space-saving.
  • the container wall is well insulated from the environment. Particularly preferred is a vacuum insulation.
  • the interior of the container is divided by at least one horizontal separating layer into at least two regions.
  • the cooling module is designed so that different temperatures prevail in the different areas.
  • the cooling module is located along the upper half of the side walls of the container, wherein at the height of the lower end of the cooling module, a horizontal partition wall is mounted. This provides two storage areas for refrigerated goods, a lower warmer area and an upper colder area. This is particularly advantageous for storing or transporting different types of refrigerated goods in a container.
  • At least one means for supplying coolant is provided, in particular this means is provided in the region of the side walls of the container.
  • the means for supplying coolant with a source of coolant can be connected.
  • liquefied gases in particular liquid nitrogen
  • liquefied gases are provided as the coolant.
  • Carbon dioxide in particular liquid carbon dioxide, is also advantageously usable as coolant.
  • the container has an insulation which shields the container thermally from the ambient temperature.
  • the container is designed so that it is suitable for the transport and / or storage of refrigerated goods, in particular food to be cooled.
  • food-compatible materials such as stainless steel, are provided.
  • a product-friendly and adapted to the needs of the refrigerated cooling device In contrast to conventional devices for temperature maintenance of food is provided with the invention, a product-friendly and adapted to the needs of the refrigerated cooling device.
  • the flow of cold gas through the container ensures, among other things, a homogeneous distribution of the temperature in the refrigerated goods.
  • the refrigerated goods can be uniformly cooled regardless of the position in the interior of the container.
  • the good meterability of the liquid gas used contributes significantly to the fact that the coolant can be meaningfully minimized.
  • the container according to the invention allows due to the large surface of the cooling module a very good heat transfer and a uniform temperature distribution, as well as an efficient use of the provided cooling capacity.
  • the possibility of dividing the interior of the container into different cooling regions represents a major advantage for the storage of different refrigerated goods in a container.
  • the device according to the invention is also ideal for transport cooling. It must be operated independently of a permanent power supply in the cold holding phase.
  • the structure of the device is made selected from a few components simple and robust, which meets the requirements of a transport container in terms of transport weight and durability.
  • FIG. 1 shows a container (1) according to the invention with a cooling module (2), which has a supply (3) for coolant and a means (4) for discharging refrigerant vapor into the interior of the container (1).
  • FIG. 2 shows a container (1) according to the invention with a cooling module (2) which has a plurality of means (4) for dispensing coolant vapor into the interior of the container (1).
  • a cooling module (2) which has a plurality of means (4) for dispensing coolant vapor into the interior of the container (1).
  • Figure 2 shows a horizontal partition (5), which is formed as an insulating plate or as a eutectic plate.
  • the container is designed so that in the area above the dividing wall (5) a temperature of + 1 ° C to + 3 ° C and in the area below the partition wall (5) a temperature of + 5 ° C to + 7 ° C.
  • Figure 3 shows an embodiment of the container (1), which does not belong to the invention, in the side walls of a cooling module (2) is integrated. In addition, the side walls on an insulation (7).
