Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for rapid cooling, in particular of packaged beverages, or for the rapid freezing of small-sized goods, in particular of foodstuffs such as fresh fruit and vegetables.
- the shelf life of sensitive foods to be kept cool is severely impaired if there are gaps in the cold chain on the way from the manufacturer to the household of the consumer. Such gaps often occur when the consumer cannot load the food into his refrigerator or freezer quickly enough after shopping. Since the cooling of such foods in the refrigerator essentially takes place through heat exchange via the air, it can still take some time after the foods have been loaded into the refrigerator until the target temperature is reached again and the multiplication of microorganisms in the foods is stopped as far as possible. In order to improve the shelf life of such foods, it is desirable to cool them down in the refrigerator as soon as possible.
- cooling compresses consist of a soft plastic bag with a gel-like mass enclosed therein and which are intended to be cooled in a refrigerator and then placed on a body part to be treated.
- the content of such a cooling compress should remain liquid when cooling or retain its gel-like consistency so that it can cling closely to the part of the body to be treated during use.
- Such a compress should not be frozen because it then freezes, loses its suppleness and can cause frostbite for the user.
- the object of the present invention is to specify a method and a device for this purpose.
- the object is achieved by a method with the features of claim 1 and a rapid cooling device with the features of claim 8.
- a liquid heat transfer medium especially an aqueous solution, is able to store a large amount of heat in a small space. Therefore, a food cools in Contact with the liquid heat transfer medium is significantly faster than in contact with cold air.
- the heat transfer fluid In order to promote, on the one hand, an exchange of the heat transfer fluid that is heating up in the immediate vicinity of the flexible wall on the item to be cooled and, on the other hand, to make the container or containers small and easy to handle, the heat transfer fluid is circulated in a circuit that the at least one container and one Contains tank for the heat transfer fluid.
- the circulation in such a circuit if the container (s) on the one hand and the tank on the other hand are at different levels, could be driven solely by thermal convection.
- a pump is preferably provided to drive the circulation of the heat transfer fluid.
- foodstuffs to be frozen or cooled according to the invention can be brought into intimate contact with the flexible wall of the rapid cooling device, a very intensive, rapid heat transfer from the foodstuff to the heat transfer fluid contained in the container of the rapid cooling device is possible.
- a few minutes can therefore suffice to freeze them to such an extent that they can then be filled into a container without freezing to one another or to a target temperature such as to cool a desired drinking temperature - when applying the procedure to a packaged beverage.
- the container is preferably assigned a lid which can be placed to cover the flexible wall.
- This lid is preferably designed as a second container for a heat transfer fluid, which also has at least one flexible wall. In this way, the refrigerated goods can be enclosed on two sides between flexible walls and extremely fast, efficient temperature exchange can be achieved.
- At least one of the containers should also have a rigid wall.
- the flexible wall of the container delimits a recess into which a beverage pack (or another good to be cooled) can be inserted.
- the one container can also be designed as a whole with flexible walls, so that it can be wrapped around a product to be refrigerated.
- a heat transfer fluid with a freezing point not above -10 ° C is used in the rapid cooling device according to the invention, it is possible to freeze food by contact with the device, while the heat transfer fluid is liquid and thus an intimate contact between the food to be frozen and the flexible Wall of the blast cooler allowed.
- the freezing point of the heat transfer fluid is preferably below -17 ° C. or even -20 ° C., so that the rapid cooling device can be operated at the usual temperatures of a household freezer without its heat transfer fluid freezing.
- Such a rapid cooling device is expediently installed in a storage chamber of a refrigeration device, since it then does not require its own means for cooling the heat transfer fluid.
- the tank is expediently located on a ceiling of the storage chamber. Often there is a flat tier directly underneath the ceiling of such a storage chamber, which is intended to accommodate cold packs and the rear area of which can be used to accommodate such a tank.
- a releasable coupling is preferably inserted into the circuit between the tank and the at least one container.
- the storage chamber in which the tank is located is a freezer chamber, while the container serving as a bottle cooler is expediently located in a normal or fresh cooling chamber of the same cooling device.
- Automatic control of the operation of the pump as a function of time or temperature is desirable in order to prevent undercooling of a beverage container.
- Figure 1 shows a rapid cooling device according to the invention in a schematic section, installed in a refrigerator.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic section through a third embodiment of the rapid cooling device
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the container according to a third embodiment of the rapid cooling device.
- Fig. 5 shows the container of Fig. 4, mounted on a bottle to be cooled.
- the refrigerator 1 shown in a schematic section in FIG. 1 is a freezer.
- a heat-insulating housing 2 surrounds a storage chamber 3, which is divided into compartments 5, 6, 7 by a plurality of shelves 4.
- the shelves 4 are each designed as grids with lines through which a refrigerant flows.
- the top compartment 5, directly under the ceiling of the storage chamber 3, has a height of only a few cm and is therefore highly effectively cooled by its tier 4.
- This compartment is largely filled by a tank 8 which is filled with a heat transfer fluid, e.g. B. a brine or an alcohol-water mixture is filled.
- a heat transfer fluid e.g. B. a brine or an alcohol-water mixture is filled.
- a pump 9 and a quick freezer 10 with a lower part 11 and a lid 12, both of which have rigid outer walls and mutually facing inner walls 15 made of a soft, flexible film material. Cavities of the lower part 11 and the cover 12 enclosed by outer and inner walls are connected to one another via pipes 13, to the pump 9 and to the tank 8 to form a circuit.
- the lower part 11 and the cover 12 can be fixed to one another so that the cover 12 can press a piece of refrigerated goods 14 enclosed between the lower part and the cover into the lower part against the hydrostatic pressure of the heat transfer fluid contained therein.
- quick couplings 16 are arranged in the pipes 13, which use the tank 8 with the pump or the cover 12, which are self-closing in the separated state to prevent leakage of the refrigerant.
- Such couplings can be omitted if the entire rapid cooling device, including the tank 8, can be removed from the refrigeration device.
- An electrical connector 17 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 2 for the power supply to the pump 9.
- the pump 9 is shown separately from the rapid freezer 10 in the figure, but it goes without saying that it is e.g. B. can be connected to the lower part 11 to form a structural unit in order to simplify handling. It is also conceivable to place a motor of the pump 9 on the foam side of the housing inner wall and to provide it with a magnetic coupling which drives a pump head arranged in the bearing chamber 3. In this way, the electrical plug connection 17 and, consequently, an opening of the housing inner wall which is necessary for it can be avoided.
- Fig. 2 shows a schematic section through a second embodiment of the quick device according to the invention, mounted in a combination refrigerator.
- a tank 8 filled with a heat transfer fluid is accommodated in an uppermost compartment 5 of the freezer area of the refrigerator 1.
- the tank extends essentially over the entire width of the compartment 5 and therefore has extensive, easily deformable wall surfaces 20.
- the tank 8 is connected via pipes 13 to a bottle cooler 18, which is accommodated in a normal or fresh cooling zone 21 of the refrigeration device 1.
- the bottle cooler 18 has essentially the shape of a cup with a rigid outer wall 19 and a flexible inner wall 15 which delimits a recess for receiving a bottle 22 to be cooled.
- the space between the outer wall 19 and inner wall 15 forms a container for the heat transfer fluid.
- a pump 9 for pumping heat transfer fluid from the tank 8 into the bottle cooler 18 is arranged on a first of the two pipelines 13.
- the second pipeline 13 has a bottleneck 23, at which a pressure drop forms when the pump 9 is in operation.
- a control circuit 24 is connected to the pump 9 and to a temperature sensor 25 which is attached to the bottle cooler 18 or, as shown in the figure, to the second pipeline 13 before it enters the tank 8.
- the control circuit 24 can be activated by a user in order to put the pump 9 into operation, so that Heat transfer fluid with a temperature below 0 ° C is circulated from the tank 8 into the bottle cooler 18.
- the resulting increase in pressure inside the bottle cooler 18 means that, regardless of the exact dimensions of the bottle 22 placed therein, the flexible inner wall 15 of the bottle cooler 18 clings closely to the bottle 22, so that it is cooled in a highly effective manner. If the temperature sensor 25 indicates a temperature just above the freezing point, which indicates that the bottle 22 has largely cooled down and that there is a risk that the contents of the bottle freeze if the cooling process continues, the control circuit 24 switches the pump 9 off again.
- a display element can be provided on a display panel (not shown) on the housing of the refrigeration device, which indicates the operating state of the pump 9, so that a user can use the display element to recognize whether the bottle 22 is sufficiently cooled without opening the refrigeration device 1 have to.
- control circuit 25 instead of completely switching off the pump 9 after reaching a critically low temperature on the temperature sensor 25, it is of course also possible for the control circuit 25 to switch to an interval operating mode in which it automatically switches the pump 9 on again when the difference between that of the sensor 25 detected temperature and the normal storage temperature in the normal cooling zone 21 falls below a limit value, so as to keep the bottle 22 permanently at a lower temperature than that of the normal cooling zone.
- the temperature-dependent control circuit 24 can also be replaced by a time control circuit which, after activation by a user, operates the pump 9 for a predetermined time or set by the user and then switches it off.
- the embodiment of the rapid cooling device shown in FIG. 3 is characterized in that the tank 8 is divided by a Peltier element 30 into a prechamber 32 and a main reservoir 33.
- the Peltier element 30 is supplied with current by a current source 42 via a switch 31, which is under the control of the control circuit 24 and is at least always closed when the pump 8 is also in operation.
- Heat transfer fluid circulated by the pump 9 does not reach the main reservoir 33, but only flows through the antechamber 32, where it cools down in contact with the cold side of the Peltier element 30 and then flows back to the bottle cooler 18.
- the warm side of the Peltier element 30 is in contact with the main reservoir 33 in order to dissipate heat absorbed from the antechamber 32 to the heat transfer fluid located therein.
- the tank 8 could be accommodated in a colder chamber of the refrigeration device than the bottle cooler 18, as in the embodiment of FIG. 2; however, this is not absolutely necessary because, even if the bottle cooler 18 and the tank 8 are in the same chamber of the refrigeration device, the Peltier element 30 is able to raise the heat transfer fluid circulated by the pump 9 to a lower temperature than that of the chamber hold.
- this embodiment is particularly simple to install or retrofit in a refrigeration device.
- the tank divided by the Peltier element 30 according to FIG. 3 can also be used in a freezing device as shown in FIG. 1.
- Fig. 4 shows a modified embodiment of a bottle cooler 26.
- the bottle cooler 26 does not have a rigid outer wall, but rather its walls are formed by flexible plastic foils which are welded together locally to form a zigzag tubular interior , At one longitudinal end, the foils are welded together flat to form a flat tongue 27.
- the pipelines 13, enclosed between the two foils, extend along the tongue 27 and each end on one longitudinal end of the tubular cavity.
- a Velcro patch 28 is on the viewer in Fig. 4 facing side of the tongue 27 attached.
- a Velcro strip 29 complementary to the patch 28, shown in the figure as a dashed outline, is located on the side of the bottle cooler 26 facing away from the viewer.
- FIG. 5 shows the bottle cooler 26 in use when cooling a bottle 22. It is wrapped around the belly of the bottle in such a way that the two Velcro fastener parts 28, 29 covered in FIG. 5 come into contact with one another and adhere to one another. Because of its flexibility, the container is able to conform to bottles with very different diameters in a form-fitting manner and thus to bring about a very intensive heat exchange between the bottle and the heat transfer fluid circulating in the bottle cooler 26.
