Definitions

  • the invention relates to a thermal destratification process for increasing the temperature of an aisle lined unilaterally or bilaterally of refrigerated furniture and a system for carrying out this method.
  • the invention applies more particularly to refrigerated aisles encountered in sales areas.
  • blowing devices in height in the sales area. These devices intended to homogenize the temperatures by destratification of the overall volume of air of the zone have fans blowing towards the space to be heated, the air taken in the upper part and therefore warmer. Note that depending on the devices, this air can still be heated by ancillary means such as a hot water heat exchanger or electrical resistors.
  • this solution does not provide convincing results and / or significantly disrupts the operation of refrigerated furniture.
  • Another solution is to have radiant heating panels at low temperature, above the aisle to be heated or at ground level.
  • this solution is expensive and requires significant work if it is not performed at the time of construction of the sales area.
  • the invention therefore aims to remedy these problems by proposing a process for thermal delamination of aisles lined with refrigerated furniture which is efficient, energy efficient and does not disturb the operation of refrigerated furniture.
  • the air curtains of the furniture are undisturbed, the created air movements being parallel and having the same direction of circulation as those of the air curtains integrated in the refrigerating cabinets.
  • the energy consumption of the refrigerating equipment is not increased and the temperature resistance of the products is ensured.
  • the invention also proposes a thermal destratification system making it possible to implement said thermal de-stratification process.
  • Lane figure 3 illustrates the variations of humidity and temperature as a function of the height starting from the ground 11. It will be noted that in the aisle E formed between the refrigerating cabinets 1, 2, the temperature is close to 10 ° C at ground level and that in the zone P close to the ceiling, the temperature is close to 30 ° C.
  • the method according to the present invention makes it possible to regulate the temperature of the aisle E formed between a first piece of furniture 1 and a second piece of furniture 2; at least one of the furniture 1, 2 being refrigerated.
  • the refrigeration of the refrigerating cabinets 1, 2, 9 is provided by a cooling system comprising fans for making a cold air circuit inside the cabinet and in particular a cold air curtain close to the cabinet. opening said furniture.
  • a first air flow path 3 extends from the rear of the upper face 5 of the first furniture 1 to the lower front face 6 of said first furniture 1 and a second air circulation path 4 extends from the rear of the upper face 7 of the second piece of furniture to the lower front face 8 of said second piece of furniture 2.
  • a third piece of furniture 9 and the first 1 or second piece of furniture 2 are arranged back-to-back.
  • the space formed between the third 9 and the first 1 or second piece of furniture 2 respectively forms a first portion of the first 3 or second air circulation path 4.
  • the second part of the air circulation paths 3, 4 is formed between the lower face 10 of the refrigerating cabinet 1, 2 and the floor 11.
  • a fourth piece of furniture can also be arranged back-to-back with the first 1 or second piece of furniture 2 refrigeration.
  • first portions of the first 3 and second air circulation path 4 are formed between two refrigerating units 1, 2, 9.
  • the third and / or fourth furniture may be non-refrigerated display furniture.
  • the non-refrigerated display unit is perforated on its vertical face, arrangements can be added on its rear face to prevent air loss at the first 3 or second path 4.
  • first 1 or second refrigeration unit 2 is arranged against a wall 12. It is then possible to use the space between the wall 12 and said cabinet 1, 2 to form a first part of the first 3 or second path 4 air circulation. It will be noted that in this embodiment, the second part of the path 3, 4 is also formed between the lower face 10 of the refrigerating cabinet and the floor 11.
  • the method In order to regulate the temperature of the aisle E, the method simultaneously expels air towards the aisle through the first path 3 and suck air from the aisle E through the second path 4.
  • the cold air present in the aisle E is driven by the fluidized bed created parallel to the floor 11 of the aisle E, and then rejected above the second refrigerating cabinet 2 to lower the temperature strata of said aisle .
  • hot air from the top of the first refrigerating cabinet 1 is expelled into the aisle E to replace the cold air sucked in by the warmer air.
  • the method also provides for simultaneously drawing air from the aisle E through the first 3 and second 4 paths. In this case, it will be necessary to regulate the air flows in the first 3 and second 4 paths in order to avoid excessive depression in the aisle which would disturb the air curtains.
  • the air circulating in the second path 4 may be sucked or expelled depending on the configuration of the furniture to be equipped and the environment thereof. For example, in the case where refrigerated furniture 2 would be juxtaposed to a piece of furniture "fruit and vegetables", it will be necessary to ensure suction at this level because blowing hot air would cause drying of fruits and vegetables.
  • the system for implementing the thermal destratification process comprises suction means 14, 15 and expulsion 13 of the air.
  • suction means 14, 15 and expulsion 13 of the air are fans associated with the upper face 5, 7 of the furniture 1, 2.
  • the speed of the fans and therefore the flow rates of air through the first 3 and second 4 air circulation paths can be regulated according to a set temperature and at least one temperature sensor placed in the first 3 and / or second air circulation path 4.
  • the thermal destratification system further comprises at least one sheath 16, 17.
  • a first sheath 16 is disposed on the upper face 5 of the first piece of furniture 1 in the continuity of the first path 3 and a second sheath 17 is disposed on the upper face 7 of the second piece of furniture 2 in the continuity of the second path 4.
  • the sheath 17 When the sheath 17 is connected to a suction means 14 of the air of the aisle E, the latter makes it possible to distribute the air to an area of the sales area to be cooled or to reject it to the outside of the sales area.
  • the sheath 16 When the sheath 16 is connected to a means 13 for expelling air to the aisle E, it expels warmer air from a higher stratum.
  • perforated skirting boards 18 are arranged at the end of the air circulation paths 3, 4 on the lower front face 6, 8 of the furniture 1, 2 in order to allow air circulation.
  • Test N ° 1 was carried out without any ventilation.
  • test N ° 6 was carried out with a speed 4 for the blowers and a speed 1 for the sucking fans.
  • an additional heating system can be put in place at the fans to increase the temperature of the air coming from the top of the furniture and expelled into the aisle E. This may be necessary if the temperature is insufficient at the top of the furniture where the air is taken up.
  • the heating of the air can be ensured by the addition of electric resistances or a hot water coil supplied by any source (water heating, heat recovery %)
