Description
- The subject of the present invention is a display unit comprising at least one compressor, at least one fluid/gas heat exchanger for cooling the compressed gas, at least one evaporator, at least one expansion device and conduits connecting the afore-mentioned components with each other to form a "transcritical" refrigeration circuit, especially a carbon dioxide refrigeration circuit. The term "transcritical" refrigeration circuit refers to a refrigeration circuit which can be operated in a subcritical as well as a super- or transcritical mode.
- The term "display unit" shall include all kind of display units, especially cabinets, multideck cabinets, roll-in cabinets, counters et cetera. Display units as mentioned before are well known to a skilled person.
-
EP-A-0 908 688 discloses display units as described above as well as a refrigeration plant, by which one or more display units are connected via their fluid/gas heat exchangers to a refrigeration cycle. The heat given up from the transcritical refrigeration circuit of each display unit via its fluid/gas heat exchanger is discharged to the refrigeration cycle. Within the refrigeration cycle a fluid such as water is circulating; an anti-freeze-agent may be added to the circulating fluid if required. These kinds of refrigeration cycles are designed in a way that their pressures do not exceed 25 bar. -
WO 95/08087 A - Within transcritical refrigeration circuits of display units pressures of 90 bar and more occur. For that reason all components and conduits mentioned above have to be able to withstand these high pressures. Nevertheless, neither the owner and service persons of supermarkets nor their customers are interested in being confronted with such high pressures. Additionally each leak in a component or conduit can result in bigger problems as any gas escaping from a leaking high pressure conduit or component can result in serious injuries of service persons and customers.
- The main object of the present invention is to provide a display unit, which avoids the above-discussed problem regarding the high pressures within a transcritical refrigeration circuit, especially within a carbon dioxide refrigeration circuit.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a display unit, which in case of any fault of one of the above-mentioned components enables an easy and quick replacement of a non-operating component by an operating component. This replacement of a non-operating component should be manageable even by a person not skilled in the art.
- Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an assembly of the above-mentioned components and conduits, which can be (pre)manufactured and which only has to be integrated into the display unit at the display unit's production site or in the supermarket.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, this problem and these objects are achieved by a display unit as claimed in claim 1.
- The innovative concept upon which the present invention is based is that at least the compressor and the fluid/gas heat exchanger are arranged within a compartment, which can be removable from the display unit.
- The compartment should be designed so as to be stable enough to at least substantially reduce the effect of any breach or leakage of any of the components comprising the refrigerant under pressure. Various materials can be used for the compartment, for example metal sheet, plastic material, etc. It is also possible to use different material in combination, for example a hard shell together with a dampening material. It is particularly possible to provide the hard shell at the outside and the dampening material at the inner side thereof. It is also possible to provide the compartment with a venting means, like an opening, a discharge valve, etc. in order to allow venting of the refrigerant after a failure of the refrigeration circuit.
- It is possible to removably attach the compartment to a support structure within the display unit, for example a frame, etc. of the display unit. The compartment can comprise an attachment means, like an attachment flange, for attaching the compartment to the support structure. It might be sufficient to have the compartment rest on the support structure, it is also possible to additionally secure the compartment removably thereto, for example by means of a nut and bold fastener. A positioning means can be provided with the support structure and/or with the compartment in order to ensure a precise positioning of the compartment in the installed condition. The positioning means can have a conical shape or can be V-shaped in order to allow for easy inserting as well as precise positioning.
- Display means, like instruments, a screen, etc., for displaying an operational condition and/or operating means, like knobs, etc. can be provided on the compartment's outer side in order to adjust cooling output, correct temperature, etc. A powerline with a plug may lead out of the compartment. Similarly, signal lines can be provided. Quick couplings can be provided in order to fluidly couple components within the compartment with exterior components, conduits, etc. Accordingly, the compartment can easily be replaced by merely decoupling the quick couplings and unplugging the powerline.
- For cooling the fluid/heat exchanger, it is possible to provide a "back cooling" to the compartment or directly to the fluid/gas heat exchanger. Such back cooling can be provided by means of a "low pressure" cooling circuit, e.g. with another refrigerant and even with air or water. The respective conduits can be connected to the compartment with a quick release coupling, for example.
- In accordance with an embodiment additional or all of the above-mentioned components forming the transcritical refrigeration circuit are arranged within said compartment.
- In case of any leak in one of the above-mentioned components or conduits the compartment will function as a buffer for the escaping gas. For that reason no direct disturbance or harm to service persons and customers should occur.
- In case of any fault of one of the above-mentioned components the component does not have to be repaired within the display unit or replaced from the display unit, which normally takes for at least 30 minutes. During this period the display unit is out of order. According to the innovative concept the whole compartment can be removed and replaced by another compartment, housing operating components. The time for replacing the compartment takes about 10 minutes or less. The repair of the non-operating component can then be realized without any time pressure and stress.
- According to a further embodiment of the present invention the compartment is preferably arranged below the show room or storing compartment of the display unit.
- This arrangement enables an easy and quick replacement of the compartment.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become clearer from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof, described by way of nonlimiting examples with reference to the attached drawings, in which:

Outside of the compartment 1 anevaporator 4 and an expansion device - not shown infigures 1 to 3 - are arranged; the afore-mentioned components are connected with each other to form a transcritical refrigeration circuit, especially a carbon dioxide refrigeration circuit, as e. g. described in the above-mentionedEP-A-0 908 688 . - The aforementioned expansion device is preferably designed as an expansion valve, while the compressor 2 is preferably designed as a frequency controlled compressor.
- According to a further embodiment of the present invention the amount of the medium, circulating in the transcritical refrigeration circuit does not exceed 1000 g.
- As can be seen from
figure 3 (cooling) air 6 is forced by theventilating fans 5,5' to flow through theevaporator 4, wherein the air is cooled against the evaporating refrigerant of the transcritical refrigeration circuit, and via the backflow-channel 7 to the show room or storing compartment S of the multideck cabinet C. This flow of the circulating cooling air is already known to a skilled person. - The
ventilating fans 5,5' are especially frequency controlled ventilating fans. This enables an optimal adaptation of the power of theventilating fans 5,5' to the required cooling capacity. - According to the embodiment shown in
figure 3 all aforementioned components forming the transcritical refrigeration circuit are arranged within a compartment 1, that can be removed as a whole from the multideck cabinet C. - Not shown in
