Definitions

  • Refrigerating sales furnitures as they are known in the state of the art usually comprise air inlets and outlets arranged at a goods presentation and refrigeration space and air flow channels therebetween for circulating air in the goods presentation and refrigeration space.
  • the effective air flow is currently determined by the size and by the open area of the inlets and of the outlets and it is difficult to adjust said effective air flow to changed operation conditions.
  • Document FR 2787979 A1 discloses a refrigerating sales furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Exemplary embodiments of the invention include a refrigerating sales furniture comprising a furniture body having a rear wall and a goods presentation and refrigeration space, wherein an air flow channel is arranged at least partly at the rear wall.
  • Said air flow channel comprises at least one channel inlet, through which an air flow enters into the air flow channel, and at least one channel outlet, through which the air flow leaves the air flow channel.
  • An air flow passage reduction insert is selectively arrangeable in the air flow channel such that it reduces the air flow passage area to allow medium-sized air flow passage or such that it reduces the air flow passage area to allow small air flow passage.
  • Exemplary embodiments of the invention further comprise a method for operating a refrigerating sales furniture having a furniture body with a rear wall, a goods presentation and refrigeration space, and an air flow channel arranged at least partly at the rear wall, said air flow channel comprising at least one channel inlet through which an air flow enters into the air flow channel, and at least one channel outlet through which the air flow leaves the air flow channel comprising the steps of selectively arranging an air flow passage reduction insert in the air flow channel such that it reduces the air flow passage area to allow medium-sized air flow passage or such that it reduces the air flow passage area to allow small air flow passage, and flowing air through the air flow channel.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional side view of a refrigerating sales furniture according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the refrigerating sales furniture comprises a furniture body 2 arranged on a base 36, the furniture body 2 having a vertical rear wall 17, a horizontal bottom 4 and a horizontal top 3 confining a goods presentation and refrigeration space 5 which is open to the front.
  • a bottom air flow channel 24 is arranged horizontally just above the bottom 4 of the furniture body 2. At its front the bottom air flow channel 24 is provided with a front air inlet 25 which opens to the top of the bottom air flow channel 24 for introducing air from the front of the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5. At the back of the furniture body 2 the bottom air flow channel 24 is fluidly connected to an intermediate air flow channel 9 extending vertically parallel to to rear wall 17 of the furniture body 2. A fan 32 is arranged in said intermediate air flow channel 9 for generating an air flow.
  • an air baffle 6 is provided in the intermediate air flow channel 9 separating it into a first air flow channel 8 and a second air flow channel 10, both air flow channels 8, 10 extending vertically parallel to the rear wall 17 of the furniture body 2.
  • the first air flow channel 8 having a first air inlet 8a is arranged at the rear wall 17 of the furniture body 2
  • the second air flow channel 10 having a second air inlet 10a is arranged in front of the first air flow channel 8.
  • the second air flow channel 10 is defined by a vertical air channel wall 7.
  • An air flow passage reduction insert 14 is arranged just above the first air inlet 8a in the first air flow channel 8 for reducing the air flow passage area of said air first air flow channel 8.
  • an air flow passage reduction insert 14 may be arranged in the second air flow channel 10, although this is not shown in Figure 1 .
  • a cooling element 12 is arranged in the second air flow channel 10 for cooling the air flowing through said second air flow channel 10.
  • Said cooling element 12 may be an evaporator as part of a vapor compression cycle, a thermoelectric element or the like.
  • a cooling element 12 may be arranged in the first air flow channel 8, although this is not shown in Figure 1 .
  • a branch-off air flow channel 29 is fluidly connected to the second air flow channel 10 so that a portion of the cooled air which has passed the cooling element 12 enters into said branch-off air flow channel 29.
  • the branch-off air flow channel 29 extends vertically downwards parallel to the first and second air flow channels 8, 10 in between the second air flow channel 10 and a back wall 34 of the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5.
  • At its lower end it comprises a cool air outlet 30 for delivering cooled air to the rear of the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5.
  • the cool air outlet 30 is arranged approximately at the same height as the lower edge of the air baffle 6, but it can be arranged at any height which is considered to be appropriate for effectively cooling the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5. It is also possible that the branch-off air flow channel 29 is provided with a number of cool air outlets 30 which are arranged at different heights.
  • the first and second air flow channels 8, 10 extend further parallel to the rear wall 17 up to the top 3 of the furniture body 2. As there is no branch-off air flow channel 29 at this height, the second air flow channel 10 is wider than below, completely filling the distance between the first air flow channel 8 and the back wall 34 of the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5.
  • the first and second air flow channels 8, 10 are both bent by 90 degrees and extend further horizontally parallel to the top 3 of the furniture body 2.
  • the air flow channels 8, 10 comprise respective channel outlets 26, 28 which open downward for delivering the air from said channels 8, 10 to an area in the front of the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5 and below the top 3.
  • the channel outlets 28, 26 are designed to generate respective air curtains A, B at the front of the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5.
  • Such an air curtain A, B prevents cooled air from dropping out of the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5 and also avoids that warm ambient air enters into the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5.
  • air curtains A, B reduce the energy needed for cooling the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5.
  • a curtain A of cooled air from the second air flow channel 10 is provided inside a curtain B of not cooled air from the first air flow channel 8.
  • This combination of air curtains A, B isolates the goods presentation and refrigeration space 5 even better from the ambient air than a single air curtain A, B with enhanced efficiency.
  • Figure 2 shows an enlarged detail corresponding to area C of Figure 1 .
  • Figure 2 shows a section of the vertical rear wall 17 of the furniture body 2 comprising a thermal isolation 20 which is arranged in between an outer panel 21 a and an inner panel 21 b.
  • These panels 21 a, 21 b may be made of plastic or metal, while the thermal isolation 20 is usually made of a foamed material.
  • the air flow passage reduction insert 14 is fixed to the inside of the rear wall 17 by a screw 19 extending into the thermal isolation 20 through respective holes formed in the air flow passage reduction insert 14 and in the inner panel 21b.

  • the air baffle 6 is arranged parallel to the rear wall 17 in a certain distance D thereof defining a first air flow channel 8 and a second air flow channel 10.
