Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cooling element for use in a cooling device, with a front side, a rear side and four side surfaces.
- the present invention further relates to a cooling device with at least one cooling circuit with a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser and a closable cooling space with a plurality of cooling space side walls, a cooling space floor and a cooling goods space.
- cooling elements and devices are used in remote areas in developing countries, where a stable and secure energy supply cannot be guaranteed. Nonetheless, it is precisely in these areas that an uninterrupted cold chain for food and medical products, such as vaccines or blood products, is essential. In particular, the handling of the latter products is often difficult, which is one of the reasons for the extremely poor living conditions of the people living there and which contributes significantly to the high death rate.
- the World Health Organization has therefore drawn up a catalog with minimum criteria that must be met by the cooling equipment used for the transport and storage of medical products. Insulated boxes with latent heat stores, ice packs or so-called freeze packs have therefore established themselves in particular for transport over short distances. There are more stringent requirements for the storage of medical products.
- the cold room temperature must not be more than + 8 ° C and not less than + 2 ° C. Furthermore, sufficient cooling must be guaranteed for at least 3 days even if the power supply fails.
- electrical cooling devices with or without cooling elements, or battery-operated cooling elements come into consideration. It has proven to be practicable to generate the energy required for operation photovoltaically, since the solar irradiation in most developing countries is sufficiently high over the entire year.
- batteries usually have to be used in order to be able to store a sufficient amount of medical products over a longer period of time.
- batteries have the disadvantage that the devices have a very high price and that the proper disposal of old batteries has turned out to be difficult in some cases.
- cooling devices known from the prior art, several cooling elements are deep-frozen purely photovoltaically in a separate compartment of a cooling device.
- the cold stored in this way is then introduced into the actual cold room, in which the medical products are stored, via a fan.
- the compressor runs continuously when there is sunlight in order to obtain sufficient cooling capacity. So that the cold room temperature does not fall below the minimum required + 2 ° C and it Thus, the medical products stored in the cooling device are damaged, cooling devices of this type have a heater that provides thermal energy as required.
- the rear side of such cooling elements is essentially flat, and the front side has stiffening elements, the stiffening elements preventing deformation of the cooling element during cooling and freezing through.
- This has the advantage that, depending on the coolant used, the cooling elements do not expand or contract during cooling and freezing due to the accompanying expansion or shrinkage. In this way, optimal cold input into the cooling element can be achieved at all times, since the rear side of the cooling element intended for transmission retains its shape and thus rests against a plate-like evaporator, for example, over a large area
- Such cooling elements are for example from the GB 2,465,376 A , of the DE 10 2008 042907 A1 as well as the GB 2 282 661 A known.
- the cooling element according to the invention has a plate-like insulation element which is inserted into the recess on the front side of the cooling element.
- the advantage of the insulation element is that, when cooling, heat is released from the cooling element to the evaporator faster than is supplied from the cooling space. This enables the cooling element to freeze quickly without the temperature of the cooling space falling below the intended minimum temperature.
- the insulation element prevents, for example, an item to be cooled from being in direct contact with the cooling element. Since water can adhere to the goods to be cooled, freezing can be effectively prevented. Furthermore, it can also be prevented in this way that the temperature in an adjoining cooling space becomes too low and that damage to the goods stored therein occurs.
- the reaction rate of the temperature in the refrigerated goods space is advantageously reduced and a desired inertia is achieved.
- the object of the present invention is to use a cooling element Cooling device can be made available without additional heating and good insulation is achieved.
- the cooling element according to the invention is also distinguished from the prior art in that the plate-like insulation element is made from a plastic foam or is a vacuum element.
- the insulation element is advantageously foamed directly into the recess with plastic insulation material, so that the insulation element forms a unit with the cooling element.
- plastic insulation material plastic insulation material
- Polyurethane, expanded polystyrene or expanded polypropylene in particular can be used as the plastic foam.
- the plate-like insulation element can also be a vacuum element. This has the advantage that optimal insulation is achieved.
- the stiffening elements expediently have connecting elements.
- the connecting elements connect the front of the cooling element to the rear of the cooling element. These bridge-like connections thus extend through the cooling element and contribute to maintaining the shape of the cooling element during the cooling process.
- the cooling element also has stiffening elements in the circumferential edge region between the front side and the side surfaces, the stiffening elements protruding into the front side and into the side surfaces. These stiffening elements thus represent an additional connection between the front side and at least one side surface. This also results in additional stiffening which helps to maintain the shape of the cooling element during the cooling process.
- the cooling element expediently has a valve or an opening for filling and discharging the cooling element on a side surface.
- the cooling element can only be filled with coolant when required at the place of use, so that there are advantages due to the lower weight, particularly during transport.
- the cooling element can be filled with a cooling liquid.
- water is used as the cooling liquid.
- water is also available in remote areas in developing countries, which means that the cooling elements do not have to be filled at the factory.
- water has relatively good cold storage properties and is non-toxic.
- the invention also relates to a cooling device, in particular a freezer.
- a freezer is understood here to mean a cooling device with a lid, the goods to be cooled from is introduced into the cooling device or into the refrigerated goods space at the top.
- the cooling device according to the invention is distinguished from the freezers known from the prior art in that the evaporator and the cooling element are arranged within the cooling space in such a way that the rear side of the cooling element rests against the evaporator and the front side faces the refrigerated goods space.
- the cooling element is not arranged in a separate compartment of the cooling device, but directly in the cooling space, with the front side of the cooling element facing the cooling goods space in which the goods to be cooled, e.g. the medical products, are located.
- this has the advantage that a further component for transporting cold can be dispensed with.
- the arrangement of the cooling element directly on the evaporator results in an optimal introduction of cold into the cooling element, so that homogeneous freezing of the cooling element is achieved. It is advantageous here if the evaporator is constructed in the manner of a plate and the cooling element rests against the evaporator with its entire rear side.
- the evaporator extends at least partially over all cooling space side walls and a cooling element is assigned to each cooling space side wall.
- a cooling element is assigned to each cooling space side wall.
- the cooling elements are advantageously arranged at a distance from one another, insulation means being arranged between the cooling elements.
- column-like insulation means are provided in all four corners, which extend at least over the length of the corresponding side edge of the cooling elements.
- rigid foam parts made of polyurethane, expanded polystyrene or expanded polypropylene can be used as insulation means. This has the advantage that there is no direct contact between the evaporator and the refrigerated goods space, so that no cold bridges can arise in the form of cold air.
- the cooling device expediently has at least one partition, the partition separating the refrigerated goods space from the at least one cooling element.
- an inner container consisting of four partition walls is particularly suitable.
- the partition or the inner container are advantageously made of metal, in particular aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
- the partition or the inner container results in a further separation between the refrigerated goods space and the evaporator, whereby the temperature in the refrigerated goods space can be controlled particularly well.
- the cooling device particularly preferably has a connection for an external energy source, in particular for a photovoltaic energy source.
- This connection can also be used to connect another energy source, for example to connect a diesel generator. It is advantageous if the connection is provided with a safeguard against unintentional loosening, for example through carelessness.
- the cooling device expediently has a second cooling space and a second evaporator assigned to the second cooling space, the second evaporator being connected to the cooling circuit via a valve.
- a 3-way solenoid valve for example, can be used as the valve.
- the cooling capacity can thus be switched back and forth between the two cooling spaces. This has the advantage that when the predetermined temperature has already been reached in one cooling space, the energy available can be used to cool the second cooling space.
- the second cooling space can have a buffer store, the buffer store can be used to cool the refrigerated goods space.
- the second cooling space can be a freezer compartment in which cooling elements, for example for transporting medical products over short distances, are frozen.
- the cooling device can furthermore have a second cooling circuit, the second cooling circuit cooling an extra cooling space.
- the second cooling circuit can be optimized depending on the type of extra cooling space.
- the extra cooling space can thus have a buffer store, the buffer store being able to be used to cool the refrigerated goods space, or the extra cooling space can also be a freezer compartment.
- the second cooling circuit can thus be optimally adapted to the requirements.
- a cooling element 1 with a front side 2, a rear side 3 and four side surfaces 4 is shown.

- the evaporator 13 is fastened to the cooling elements 1 by the fastening tabs 19 or the cooling elements 1 are fastened to the evaporator 13 by the fastening tabs 19.
- Out Fig. 5 It can also be clearly seen that, due to the arrangement of the cooling elements 1 in interaction with the insulation means 18, there is no direct contact between the refrigerated goods space 17 (see FIG Fig. 6 ) and the evaporator 13, so that no cold bridges can establish.
