Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooling device for contact cooling according to the preamble of claim 1, preferably from Beverage containers and other objects to be cooled by heat extraction, comprising a cooling element or a plurality of cooling elements connected to one another, each cooling element having at least one flexible contact wall that is suitable is for the heat transfer to a cooling object, and with an outer wall a thermal insulation, the at least one chamber with a filling of a form flowable coolant, as disclosed by US-A-3736769.
  • Such cooling devices have long been known in various designs. They are usually welded from two flexible plastic films and with a so-called cold gel filled, which depending on the cold mixture to very deep Temperatures, e.g. -20 to -30 ° C, can be cooled and still flowable and remains flexible. The foils used are also for these temperatures suitable.
  • Cooling brine work There are also known other cooling devices, so-called cold packs, which Cooling brine work. This cooling brine freezes at a defined temperature point and gives off a lot of latent heat that they have at this temperature point resumes when melting. This latent heat is approximately 295,000 to J / kg e.g. at -12 ° C.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a cooling device for contact cooling of the type mentioned without the disadvantages of the known cooling devices to create that also easy and inexperienced users is safe to use and an attractive one with inexpensive production Looks.
  • This object is achieved in that between heat-insulated Outer wall and flexible contact wall at least one with one Cold brine filled capsule is arranged. So there is a high cooling capacity, short cooling times and low heat losses.
  • the cooling device combines the in an excellent manner Advantages of the known cooling devices, namely the good heat transfer on the one hand to the cooling object through flexible adaptation of the shape of the contact wall and on the other hand the large cooling capacity in a defined latent heat temperature point, e.g. -12 ° C, for quick cooling, e.g. of filled beverage containers, to temperatures between + 2 ° C to + 12 ° C.
  • the good one Heat transfer not only from smooth-walled, but also from regular or irregularly shaped surfaces thanks to the flexible shape adjustment.
  • the brine capsules embedded in the flowable coolant give theirs Cooling capacity due to good heat conduction in the coolant, e.g. Cold gel, about this to the cooling object.
  • the coolant also has its own relatively low level , Cooling capacity.
  • the volume-related quantity distribution from coolant to cooling brine is heavily dependent of the cooling object and the structure and shape of the cooling elements.
  • the mass ratio of coolant to brine is of the order of magnitude from 1: 3 to 1: 5.
  • Measurements on cooling devices according to the invention have when cooling z. B. Beverage containers from room temperature Drinking temperature, e.g. 8 ° C, compared to a shortening of the cooling time by approx. 40-50% Cold accumulators with a reduction in the total coolant mass required result.
  • the cooling device is generally less expensive and the waiting time until the start of consumption of the drinks at the desired Temperature and the "cold losses" to the outside are significantly shorter or reduced.
  • the total weight and volume is compared to pure gel coolers significantly reduced by 60-70%, which has further advantages when re-freezing (Charging) the cooling device in the freezer means.
  • the cooling device consists of a cooling element 1 or more cooling elements 1 (FIG. 1), which in the case of a plurality of cooling elements 1 on bending connectors 18 are interconnected.
  • the cooling elements 1 have a flexible contact wall 2 and a filling with flowable coolant 4, which is in almost complete Body contact on the irregularly shaped surfaces of a cooling object 11 put on. (see Fig. 2).
  • the cooling elements 1 to be constructed differently have a cross section (cf. FIG 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) a contact wall 2 on the cooling object side and an outer wall 5, which form chambers 3 which are filled with the coolant 4, wherein 2 capsules 6 are arranged between the outer wall 5 and the contact wall, which are filled with cold brine 7.
  • the capsules 6 have different shapes and Cross sections, the design of which depends on the type and geometry of the cooling object 11 depends. The same applies to the dimensions of the cooling elements 1, e.g. for cooling objects 11 with an angular shape (see. Fig. 1, 2, 9).
  • the division of the cooling device into a certain number of defined shaped Cooling elements 1 are each matched to the cooling object 11, but also to one space-saving folding for freezing or during transport.
  • the outside of the cooling elements 1 is provided with thermal insulation 10 against cold losses covered.
  • Fig. 3 shows a design of the cooling device, in which the capsules 6 from relative rigid containers 8.2 exist, the outer walls 5 and opposite, have inner walls 19 on the edges thereof or on the outside Corner areas elastic contact walls 2 at welding / or gluing points 20 are applied, which in turn form chambers 3 with the walls 19.
  • the cooling elements 1 formed in this way are on the entire outer wall 5 covered with thermal insulation 10.
  • FIG. 5 shows a design in which the chambers 3 and the capsules 6 pass through two elastic foils welded together in a line are formed and the chambers 3 and capsules 6 closely spaced apart issue.
  • FIG. 6 shows a design based on the embodiment according to FIG. 4, in which the cooling elements 1 are covered with a pocket-like flexible shell, which by a good heat-conducting fabric 12 and an external flexible Visible fabric 13 is formed, on the inside of which the thermal insulation 10 is arranged and the outside e.g. the intended use of the cooling device is decorated and labeled accordingly.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 show an example of a cylindrical container 14 with a container wall 16 and a stand 15, with a shell-shaped around the container wall 16 Cooling device from six cooling elements 1 in the exemplary embodiment is created, the pocket-like flexible shell made of a heat-conducting fabric 12 and from a decorative visible fabric 13, at their abutting Ends the cooperating parts of a closure 17 are arranged are.
  • FIG. 9 shows the top view of a rectangular container 14.1 with a cooling device made up of four cooling elements 1 and a closure 17th
