Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of transportation of perishable foodstuffs in isothermal containers, where the maintenance of the cold chain is provided by solid phase carbon dioxide ("dry ice").
  • Such isothermal containers commonly include a cryogenic compartment disposed in the upper part of the container, above the compartment where are placed the products to be kept at controlled temperature.
  • the cryogenic compartment is materialized (by rails, a bottom wall, etc.) or not depending on the case.
  • this upper compartment receives a reservoir intended to contain a refrigerant, such as carbon dioxide in the solid phase, the sublimation of which releases cold gases compensating the heat input through the joints between the container and its door or to through the insulation of the container.
  • a refrigerant such as carbon dioxide in the solid phase
  • cryogenic compartment in which the cryogenic mass is stored, is provided with means (typically in the form of grids) making it possible to retain the charged carbon dioxide snow while allowing the gas to pass through, and so organize the fact that during the loading of the fluid reservoir, one proceeds to the recovery of gas in the ambience of the premises using an extractor.
  • means typically in the form of grids
  • a tank according to the preamble of claim 1 is, for example, known from the document DE-A1-19808267 .
  • One of the objectives of the present invention is then to propose a new reservoir or receptacle of dry ice, which certainly makes it possible to recover the gases resulting from the injection of liquid CO 2 and to route them outside the premises without modifying the environment. but also a reservoir that is autonomous that is to say that can adapt to any type of insulated container on the market, in standard version, and whose autonomy allows even the filling of the tank outside the container and the loading subsequent tank in the container.
  • the invention also relates to an isothermal container for preserving and / or transporting perishable food products, of the type comprising a cryogenic compartment and a product storage compartment, as well as a cryogenic tank, suitable for being mounted in the cryogenic compartment, adapted for refrigerating the product storage compartment, characterized in that the cryogenic tank is in accordance with the tank according to the present invention.
  • the tank according to the invention is adaptable to all types of container, and the term "cryogenic compartment” must be understood to mean a space traditionally located in the upper part of the container, this space being or not materialized (by rails, a lower wall etc ).
  • FIG 1 a partial schematic representation of a tank 1 according to the invention, comprising a carbon dioxide snow tray, of substantially parallelepiped shape, provided with a lid 2 and on the other hand whose upper face has a perforation zone 3 adapted to allow evacuation of the gas generated inside the tank.
  • the figure 1 allows to visualize the perforation area in the form of a partial burst under the cover.
  • the front side of the tank is also shown the presence of a connector device comprising means 4 for injecting the cryogenic liquid into the tank, able to cooperate with external means for supplying cryogenic liquid (of the injection gun type ), and an opening 5, which is on the one hand in communication with the space between the tank and the lid, space which allows the accumulation of gases, and which is adapted to cooperate with external means of evacuation of generated gases (suction means coming to become solid with the opening 5).
  • a connector device comprising means 4 for injecting the cryogenic liquid into the tank, able to cooperate with external means for supplying cryogenic liquid (of the injection gun type ), and an opening 5, which is on the one hand in communication with the space between the tank and the lid, space which allows the accumulation of gases, and which is adapted to cooperate with external means of evacuation of generated gases (suction means coming to become solid with the opening 5).
  • the figure 2 is a partial schematic representation of a tank according to the invention for displaying one of the injection modes using an outlet nozzle 6 of cylindrical shape with a horizontal axis, extending towards the inside of the tank, and which is adapted to create a vortex structure 7. It has been found in practice that such a nozzle shape produces snow which is stored in a geometric Vortex motion by allowing nearly 90% of the volume of the receptacle to be occupied.
  • the figure 3 is a partial schematic sectional representation of a container equipped with a tank according to the invention, shown open door to view the mounting of the tank in the upper part of the container.
  • a thermal barrier 8 (here a polyurethane foam under plastic shell) is installed under the tank 1 to allow the protection of the fresh products that will be stored in the bottom of the container against radiation (it can be fixed or removable in the case of transport single frozen products)
  • the tank is self-contained and adaptable to all types of isothermal containers, it can be slid in horizontal slides provided in the walls of the cryogenic compartment of the container, or fixed by any other mode according to the request of the end user.
  • the tank here is not “sealed", it allows the escape of gases: when filling via the suction system that is branch on the front side, and in stable operation (food preservation) by the fact that the lid leaves a space not only above the upper face of the tray (which is provided with the mesh surface) but also in the front, to allow the gas, in operation, closed door, to reach the product storage compartment and perform its function of conservation / cooling products.
