Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular its thermal insulation.
- Refrigerators currently on the market generally have a heat-insulating housing with a solid outer and inner skin that together define a cavity.
- an insulating layer of foamed synthetic resin is produced by injecting the resin in liquid form into the cavity and allowing it to expand and set.
- a propellant gas must be available which, for example, may have been dissolved under high pressure in the liquid synthetic resin prior to injection or is released from it after injection by a chemical reaction.
- the bubbles formed in the synthetic resin inevitably contain the propellant, so that the insulating effect of the foam layer can not be better than that of the propellant gas itself.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device that allows to maintain an excellent insulation effect for a long time.
- the object is achieved in that in a refrigeration device with a housing surrounding a space containing a heat insulating layer containing the heat insulating layer evacuated glass hollow body.
- Methods for producing such hollow bodies are known from US Pat. No. 4,303,431 A1 or WO 1980 000438A1.
- Glass hollow bodies produced by these known methods can form a bed in the housing.
- the glass hollow bodies can also be embedded in a matrix.
- this matrix can be foamed like a conventional insulating layer of the type described above; this allows the use of the hollow glass body as an insulation-improving additive, without the need for further elaborate adjustments according to the invention to the refrigeration appliances or their production processes.
- the hollow bodies may be arranged in a regular grid.
- the thermal insulation layer comprises a monolayer or a small whole number of monolayers of the hollow bodies.
- the hollow bodies may be spherical or cylindrical. In the case of cylindrical hollow body whose longitudinal axis is preferably aligned in the thickness direction of the heat insulating layer.
- a reflective coating of the hollow body additionally reduces its heat permeability.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a refrigerator according to a first
- FIGS. 2 to 4 show steps in the production of a housing element according to a second embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 5 shows a section through a housing wall according to a third embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows in a perspective view of a refrigerator to which the present invention is applicable.
- the refrigerator has in a conventional manner a body 1 and an attached door 2, which define an interior space 3.
- Carcass 1 and door 2 are each hollow body with a one-piece plastic deep-drawn inner wall and a one-piece or assembled from a plurality of plate-shaped elements outer wall.
- a circumferential groove 4 is formed, which is provided to anchor therein in a conventional manner a magnetic seal (not shown). Two openings at the bottom of the groove 4, which are covered by the attachment of the magnetic seal of this, can be used to fill the inner cavity of the door 2 with a heat-insulating filling of evacuated glass beads.
- the glass spheres which have different diameters in the millimeter - A -
- An alternative way to isolate a refrigerator with the design shown in Fig. 1 using evacuated glass beads is to mix them with a in a conventional manner injected into the cavities of the body 1 and door 2 resin and mixed with the glass beads To inject resin, in particular polyurethane resin, in the cavities of the body 1 and door 2 and to let expand it. Thus, a foam filling is obtained in the cavities, the insulating effect is improved by the proportion of evacuated glass beads contained therein.
- the housing of the refrigerating appliance can also be composed of a plurality of plate-shaped panels, one of which forms the door, a side wall, ceiling, floor or rear wall of the body 1.
- Fig. 2 shows a plurality of such glass balls 7 distributed in a flat shell 8, whose dimensions correspond to those of the door 2 or a wall of the body 1.
- the number of glass beads 7 is dimensioned so that they lie close to each other in a closed position covering the bottom of the shell 8 and thus form an arrangement in the form of a regular grid with square cells in the case shown here.
- a thin plate or foil 9 made of synthetic resin is placed, as can be seen in Fig. 3, which shows a partial section through the shell 8, and on the resin plate 9 is another layer 10 'of glass beads. 7 applied close to each other. This process can be repeated as many times as necessary to obtain a desired layer thickness.
- the resulting stack of glass spheres 7 and resin plates 9 is heated to expand the synthetic resin plates 9 to soften and adhere to the glass beads 7, and possibly expand depending on the material used for the plates 9.
- Fig. 4 shows the state of the composite after expanding the plate 9; Gaps 11 between the glass balls 7 are essentially filled by the synthetic resin material of the plate 9, so that the glass balls 7 are firmly bound in the synthetic resin material and heat transfer by air flow in the spaces 1 1 between the glass balls 7 is largely excluded.
- the composite of Fig. 4 can be removed from the shell 8 and provided with a protective sheath, or it can be the shell 8 used as a shell of the panel.
- the glass spheres In order to provide an ideally efficient insulation, it is desirable to minimize the volume of the spaces 11 between the evacuated glass spheres 7. For this purpose, the glass spheres must be replaced by hollow bodies of another, a given hollow volume efficient filling shape.
- FIG. 12 A section through an insulation panel with such cylindrical glass hollow bodies 12 is shown in FIG.
- the hollow bodies 12 of uniform dimensions are each aligned with their longitudinal axis perpendicular to the outer and inner walls 13 and 14 of the panel and extend substantially over the entire width of the space between the walls 13, 14.
- a regular grid can be obtained, for example, by the hollow body 12 first on one or two sides, as shown in Fig. 6, attached to a synthetic resin tape 15, from the strips thus obtained are cut in a dimension of the desired panel of corresponding length and these strips are stacked as shown in the section of Fig. 7 so as to successively construct the panel.
- the hollow body 12 can be generated as the hollow balls 7 by first by blowing metal vapor into a molten glass filled with the metal vapor
- Tube is formed and the tube in the still molten state with a
- Cross-flow is blown to make him locally to contract and constricting into individual hollow body. During cooling, the beats
- Metal vapor is then deposited as a reflective layer 16 on the inner walls of the hollow body and leaves in the interior of a vacuum.
- the mirror layer 16 is an additional obstacle to the propagation of thermal radiation and thus improves the insulation capacity of the hollow body in addition.
