Definitions
- the present invention relates to a boiler for a machine for preparing drinks. It applies in particular to machines for the production of coffee from ground coffee, for example but not limited to packaged in individual doses. It may apply to the production of beverages from other materials such as tea or cocoa. It has been found that as and when the operating cycles, the quality of beverages obtained with the same machine is degraded. This disadvantage is all the more prejudicial as the requirements of consumers for the taste quality of this type of beverage tend to increase.
- a boiler for beverage preparation machine defining a heating chamber for containing a liquid to be heated for the production of drinks and having heating means, the means for heating comprising a heating element comprising a substrate having a face covered with a coating intended to be arranged facing the liquid and a resistive element placed in contact with the substrate and capable of generating heat, the coating comprising an inorganic layer comprising carbon synthetic amorphous hard carbon type.
- this type of coating has very good anti-adhesion properties.
- the applicant has identified that in conventional boilers the degradation of the taste of the beverage is largely due to limescale deposits accumulating on the boiler. Indeed, the applicant has found that even in small quantities, these limescale deposits tend to form an insulating layer on the heating surface of the boiler. He noticed that this insulating layer tends to reduce the temperature at which the liquid is heated and the speed at which it is heated.
- the Applicant has found that a decrease of even a few degrees in the temperature of the liquid at the boiler causes a significant deterioration of the taste of the beverage obtained. Indeed, to obtain an optimal taste, the temperature of the liquid must be perfectly controlled, especially during the infusion with regard to the preparation of coffee.
- the invention by preventing the accumulation by adhesion of scale deposits or scale, thus contributes to preserving the thermal performance of the boiler and improves the control of the temperature of the liquid.
- the invention may further optionally have any of the following features:
- the layer has an amorphous structure comprising graphitic clusters in a diamond matrix, the carbon is supplemented with silicon,
- the boiler comprises a body defining with the heating means the heating chamber,
- the body defines an enclosure and in that the heating means are arranged inside the body, the heating means comprise several heating elements forming a monobloc assembly,
- the heating means have a substantially parallelepipedal shape, two opposite faces of the parallelepiped being formed by the heating elements which are planar and whose resistive elements are mutually arranged facing each other,
- the heating means comprise a frame serving as a support for the heating elements
- the heating element is a screen-printed resistance on the substrate
- the body comprises first securing means intended to cooperate with the heating means in order to allow a removable connection between the latter and the body,
- the boiler comprises at least one profile arranged so as to define with the heating element and the body a guide channel for the liquid,
- the boiler comprises a body acting as a substrate and defining a heating chamber comprising said face covered with the coating.
- a coffee machine comprising a boiler according to any one of the preceding features.
- Also provided according to the invention is a method of manufacturing a boiler for a beverage machine defining a heating chamber for containing a liquid to be heated for the production of beverages and having heating means, the means for heating comprising a heating element comprising a substrate having at least one face intended to be arranged with respect to the liquid and a resistive element disposed in contact with the substrate and capable of generating heat, the method including a step of depositing on said face a coating comprising an inorganic layer comprising synthetic carbon of amorphous hard carbon type.
- FIG. 1 perspective view of a boiler according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 perspective view of the boiler of FIG. 1 for which the upper part of the body has been removed
- FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the heating means of the boiler according to the example of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a boiler according to the second embodiment of the invention;
- FIG. 5 view of a boiler according to a third embodiment for which the upper body has been removed.
- the boiler 1 comprises a body 3 and heating means 2.
- the assembly of its two elements defines a volume forming a heating chamber 4.
- This chamber comprises at least one water inlet and at least one water outlet respectively intended to establish fluid communication between the heating chamber 4 and a supply circuit supplied by a source of liquid such as a reservoir and an output circuit feeding for example an infusion device.
- the boiler 1 is arranged in such a way that the liquid comes into contact with heating means 2 so that the latter transmit heat to the liquid.
- the heating means 2 comprise two heating elements 20, 20.
- Each heating element 20 comprises:
- a substrate 21 having a first face and a second face opposite to the first
- a resistive element 23 disposed on the second face.
- the resistive element 23 is arranged to be connected to a power source and to generate heat when this connection is established.
- a layer of electrical insulator there is disposed between the resistive element 23 and the substrate 21, a layer of electrical insulator.
- the remaining free surface of the resistive element 23 can be covered by an additional layer, this additional layer constituting a thermal insulation and / or electrical insulation.
- the resistive element 23 consists of a screen-printed resistor. This silkscreened resistance forms a pattern distributed over the entire second face. In known manner, such a resistance makes it possible to heat substrate 21 very rapidly.
- the coating 22 covers at least a portion of the first face of the substrate. It comprises a layer of "amorphous carbon", also designated by the designation "amorphous hard carbon”.
- This type of coating combines a graphitic matrix with a diamond type matrix. It is especially proposed by the company APPLICATIONS LAVES THIN ACM under the brand CASIDIAM. The composition and the method of obtaining this type of coating are described in detail in the patent application filed June 12, 1991 under the number FR 91 088 1 1 and published January 15, 1993 under the number FR 2 678 955.
- the substrate 21 is coated on at least a portion of its surface with a coating 22 comprising an inorganic layer comprising synthetic carbon of the amorphous hard carbon type.
- the layer comprises graphitic clusters in a diamond-like matrix.
- the carbon is supplemented with silicon. This addition of silicon facilitates the obtaining of a regular synthetic structure, homogeneous and approaching a diamond-like structure.
- the silicon content may be substantially uniform over the entire thickness of the coating 22. This content may also decrease from the deep layers to the superficial layers of the thin layer. It can also be provided that said thin layer comprises surface layers whose silicon content is zero.
- the atomic proportion Si / (Si + C) in the thin layer varies from 5 to 50% and more particularly from 10 to 40%.
- said thin layer contains at least one other doping agent selected from boron, phosphorus, argon, nitrogen and fluorine whose content is less than the silicon content.
- a substrate having a good thermal conductivity, a low thermal inertia and good resistance at temperatures above 150 ° C. and preferably above 200 ° C. will be chosen.
- the substrate 21 may be made of a material chosen from metals, glasses, semiconductors, ceramics and organic materials. More specifically, provision may be made to produce the substrate 21 in a material chosen from iron, steel, aluminum, nickel, titanium, cobalt, chromium, alumina ceramics, silicon, germanium, glass.
- obtaining the coating 22 on at least a portion of the surface of the substrate 21, is carried out by the plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition method, a thin layer of amorphous carbon supplemented with silicon, starting from a gaseous reactant containing silicon, optionally mixed with a gaseous hydrocarbon if the silicon-containing gas does not contain carbon.
- the silicon-containing gas is an organolisane which corresponds to formula 1
- R1, R2, R3, R are independently -H or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, it being understood that at least one of the substituents R1 - R4 is different from H.
- the silicon content of the deposit is regulated by the choice of the gaseous reactant, as a function of the Si / (Si + C) ratio of said gaseous reactant.
- said gaseous reactant comprises SiF4 and also contains at least one doping agent chosen from argon and nitrogen and / or a gaseous precursor of a doping agent chosen from boron, phosphorus and fluorine. more precisely from N2F4, CF2, SiF4, PF5, PH3 and BF3.
- the applicant has noticed that the taste of a drink is substantially degraded when the temperature of the liquid differs even a few degrees from the optimum temperature of infusion.
- the accumulation of small scale deposits on a heating element of a boiler tends to limit control of the temperature of the liquid.
- the applicant has identified that on heating means covered with the coating described above, the limescale deposits do not accumulate or accumulate only very slightly.
- the invention makes it possible to considerably limit the variations in temperature of the liquid as and when the cycles of evolution. It thus contributes to improving the thermal performance of the machine and to ensuring a beverage production whose taste quality remains constant. It has been identified that this limitation of limescale accumulation is due to the remarkable anti-adhesion properties exhibited by coatings having a doped amorphous carbon layer as provided by the invention.
- the inorganic nature and homogeneity of the coating provides this anti-adhesion property while having a relatively low coating thickness.
- the thickness of the coating is limited to about 2 to 8 microns and more particularly 2 to 5 microns, while that of traditional anti-adhesive coatings is generally of the order of 10 to 12 microns.
- the present invention makes it possible to prevent degradation of machine performance by contamination of the liquid by the boiler.
- the applicant has found that in known circuits the quality of the beverage obtained is substantially degraded by the migration into the liquid of particles from, in particular substrates or coatings usually used in conventional boilers.
- the amorphous hard carbon coating 22 constitutes a very effective chemical barrier against ion migrations, thus preventing corrosion of the coating itself, or of the substrate by the liquid.
- the invention makes it possible to preserve the quality of the drink obtained and to preserve the integrity of the machine.
- the coating 22 comprising the amorphous carbon layer added with silicon deposited on the boiler object of the present invention has excellent organoleptic qualities.
- the inorganic coating 22 has a very low thermal inertia and substantially improves the heat exchange between the heating means and the liquid to be heated.
- the applicant has found that such an inorganic coating 22 has a thermal conductivity much higher than traditional non-stick coatings and especially traditional coatings of organic nature.
- Such a coating makes it possible to obtain very rapid rise and fall in temperature of the liquid.
- a coating is associated with a heating element having a screen-printed resistance to allow particularly rapid rise and fall in temperature. This is particularly advantageous during the alternating passage between liquid and vapor phases.
- the liquid can be either maintained by the boiler in the liquid state, or be partly at least quickly brought to the vapor state. But in these same machines, when it is desired that a liquid phase succeeds a vapor phase, the boiler often has no time to fall back sufficiently in temperature. The liquid is then raised to an abnormally high temperature. This results in a degradation of the quality of the drink obtained, or even a burst of the pod during the infusion.
- the two heating elements comprise two heating elements 20, substantially planar, arranged in parallel so that the second faces of each of the substrates 21 are facing each other.
- These 20 planar heating elements are particularly well suited to the industrial production of the coating 22 by a plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition method.
- the heating means 2 also comprise support means for forming, with the heating elements, a one-piece assembly.
- the support means include a frame 24 having on its inner periphery grooves for accommodating the heating elements 20.
- the heating means 2 thus form a parallelepipedal monobloc assembly.
- the frame 24 is made of silicone elastomer or any other electrically and thermally insulating material which seals the fluid passing through the boiler. It comprises second electrical connection means 25 adapted to establish an electrical connection between an electrical circuit and the resistive elements 23 carried by the heating elements 20.
- the body 3 consists of an upper portion and a lower portion which once assemblies define a closed enclosure. This enclosure is arranged to accommodate within it the heating means 2.
- the assembly formed by the body 3 and the heating means 2 define the heating chamber 4.
- the body 3 is constituted at least, for its surface defining the heating chamber, a thermally insulating material.
- it is preferably made of polysulfone or any other polymer with a temperature greater than that of boiling water.
- a boiler 1 according to the invention comprising such a body 3 associated with the heating means 20 described above, offers very good thermal performance.
- it has a very low thermal inertia, which makes it possible to raise the temperature of the liquid contained in the chamber very rapidly.
- the body 3 comprises assembly means intended to cooperate with the machine to ensure a removable connection between the latter and the boiler
- a handle 37 is also provided on the boiler 1 in order to facilitate securing and detaching it from the machine.
- the body 3 comprises a lower face 33 carrying first electrical connection means 34 intended to cooperate with the second electrical connection means 25 to provide the power supply for the heating means 20. It also comprises securing means 38 able to cooperate with the heating means 20 to allow removable attachment of the latter in the body 3.
- a boiler 1 according to the invention has the advantage of being assembled and disassembled easily and quickly. It offers significant advantages in terms of manufacturing and maintenance.
- FIG 4 shows a variant of the embodiment described above.
- the heating means 2 comprise fins 26 intended to increase the exchange surface between the heating elements 20 and the liquid. These fins 26 are carried by a substrate 21 from which they extend in a plane substantially normal to the substrate. Advantageously, they extend substantially horizontally. Preferably, they are covered at least in part by the coating.
- This embodiment makes it possible to increase very significantly the heat exchanges between the heating means 2 and the liquid.
- the heating of the latter is therefore faster and uniform.
- FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the example represented in FIG. 4.
- the boiler 1 comprises two profiles 27.
- the profiles 27, the fins 26, the substrate 21 and the body 3 are arranged to cooperate in order to define a circulation channel for the liquid.
- This channel makes it possible to define a helical spiral with a vertical axis capable of guiding the liquid from the inlet 35 to the outlet 36 of the boiler 1.
- Such a boiler 1, by channeling the liquid towards the outlet, makes it possible to optimize the circulation and tends to increase heat exchange.
- a plastic material will be chosen for the profile.
- the profile 27 may be removably attached to the body or to the heating means.
- the above example describes a boiler whose body defines an enclosure inside which the heating elements are placed
- the invention applies equally well to boilers whose heating chamber is defined solely by the surfaces facing the body.
- the body thus itself serves as a substrate in contact with which is placed the heating element.
- the coating is then disposed on the surfaces of the body defining the heating chamber.
- the heating element has a conventional resistor or screen printed resistor. The heating element can be drowned or inserted into the body, or be disposed on a surface of the heating chamber or on an outer surface of the body.
