Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transportable cooling space according to the preamble of claim 1 with a housing and with a refrigerant reservoir for cooling a refrigerated goods receiving space within the housing.
  • the transportable cold room can be used, for example, to cool food and food distribution components or for the cooled transport of blood and medicines.
  • the term "transportable cold room” includes in particular tray transport trolleys for trays that are equipped with crockery components and dishes served on them, as well as mobile transport devices that are used, for example, in the context of food regeneration and food distribution and have a housing or a container with an interior to be cooled . In large kitchens, for example in hospitals, meals are often prepared and put together well in advance of consumption.
  • a transportable cold room whose refrigerant reservoir contains pourable ice, with used refrigerant being drained from the refrigerant reservoir in the form of melt water.
  • the filling space of the refrigerant reservoir consists of a vertical shaft and is arranged in a partition which divides the receiving space for the goods to be cooled into at least two areas.
  • the filling space of the refrigerant reservoir can contain a sieve insert, which the ice in a defined Holds altitude and lets melt water through.
  • the arrangement creates a cooling wall within the refrigerated goods receiving space, which extends from the bottom of the housing to the top of the housing and has a surface temperature predetermined by the ice or the ice / melt water mixture.
  • the cooling effect of the cooling wall is insufficient. A temperature stratification with an uneven temperature distribution from top to bottom sometimes occurs within the refrigerated goods receiving space.
  • Out FR 700 071 A a transportable cold room is known which is designed according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the refrigerant reservoir is arranged above the refrigerated goods receiving space and, to improve the heat exchange, has a cooling body with cooling surfaces which extend along a wall surface into the bottom area of the refrigerated goods receiving space.
  • the cooling effect on the cooling surfaces creates natural convection and a circulation flow within the refrigerated goods receiving space.
  • a guide surface is provided within the filling material receiving space, which is arranged below the refrigerant reservoir.
  • the interior space of the housing that can be used as a space for accommodating refrigerated goods is restricted over the entire height by the arrangement and necessary dimensions of the cooling body. Furthermore, the cooling body arranged within a flow channel cannot be cleaned or can only be cleaned with difficulty.
  • a cooling space according to the preamble of claim 1 is known, in which two adjoining refrigerated goods receiving spaces are separated from each other by a partition, the partition having a guide surface via which a circulating free convection flow can be generated in the lower refrigerated goods receiving space.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing the transportable cooling space in such a way that a substantially constant temperature is established within the cooling goods receiving space.
  • the heat sink provided for this purpose should be designed in a structurally simple manner, have a structure that is as compact as possible and be easy to clean.
  • the subject matter of the invention and the solution to this problem is a transportable cold room according to claim 1.
  • the refrigerant reservoir is arranged above the refrigerated goods receiving space and has a cooling body protruding into the refrigerated goods receiving space to improve the heat exchange. Furthermore, a guide surface is provided for initiating and guiding a free convection flow circulating in the receiving space.
  • Free convection - also known as natural convection - is based on differences in density in the air space enclosed by the housing. Because of the cooling, air layers directly on the surface of the heat sink have a lower temperature and greater density than the room air within the cooling goods receiving space spaced apart from the heat sink. As a result, the air inside the refrigerated goods receiving space experiences a thermal lift, the guide surface directing the air flow based on natural convection. A circulation flow is created.
  • the cooling body is arranged above the guide surface and has an arrangement of several cooling ribs protruding into the cooling goods receiving space.
  • the circulating air sweeps along the cooling fins of the heat sink, is directed downwards along a thermally insulated wall surface of the housing and rises again on an opposite wall surface.
  • the guide surface is aligned essentially horizontally, with a slight inclination the circulation flow is stimulated and amplified much faster.
  • the guide surface is therefore an obliquely inclined flat surface, the angle of inclination to the horizontal being 0.5 to 10 degrees, preferably about 1 to 5 degrees.
  • the invention provides that the refrigerant reservoir has a tub for filling with pourable ice and that the cooling body is arranged on the underside of the tub and connected to the tub directly or indirectly through heat-conducting intermediate elements.
  • the housing can have a front door that is expediently thermally insulated.
  • the circulating free convection flow is established between a thermally insulated side wall of the housing and a thermally insulated front door.
  • side wall also includes, in particular, a rear wall of the housing.
  • the front door expediently extends over the entire height of the refrigerated goods receiving space.
  • Pourable ice which consists of water, can be used as the refrigerant for operating the device according to the invention.
  • crushed ice, ice cubes and flake ice can be used as pourable ice.
  • the heat sink can have additional heat transfer surfaces which extend into the interior of the tub. Used refrigerant is drained from the pan in the form of melt water.
  • a device for draining off melt water is connected to the tank. It is also within the scope of the invention that at least one side wall of the housing and / or a vertical partition wall within the receiving space has a channel for discharging melt water.
  • the tub for receiving the pourable ice can with a lid z. B. be closed with a removable lid or hinged lid.
  • the device according to the invention is not limited to operation with pourable ice consisting of water. Eutectic plates, pre-cooled ice packs or dry ice can also be used as a cooling source. In such configurations, the refrigerant reservoir has at least one compartment for pre-cooled eutectic plates or pre-cooled cooling packs or a tub for dry ice that can be closed with a cover.
  • the figures show a transportable cold room using the example of a tray transport trolley.
  • the tray transport trolley has a housing 1 with thermally insulated side walls 2 and a front door 3 that is likewise thermally insulated.
  • the tray transport trolley is also equipped with a refrigerant reservoir 4 for cooling a refrigerated goods receiving space 5 within the housing 1.
  • the housing 1 can be moved on rollers 6.
  • lateral support surfaces in the form of strips 7 for inserting trays 8 are provided.
  • the trays 8 maintain a distance from the side wall 2 of the housing and the inside of the door 3.
  • the free space stands for an in Fig. 1 indicated circulating air flow available.
  • the refrigerant reservoir 4 is arranged above the refrigerated goods receiving space 5 and has a cooling body 9 protruding into the refrigerated goods receiving space to improve the heat exchange.
  • a guide surface 10 for initiating and guiding a free convection flow circulating in the refrigerated goods receiving space 5 is also arranged below the cooling body 9.
  • the guide surface 10 consists of a guide plate and forms an obliquely inclined flat surface. The angle of inclination is about 1 to 5 degrees to the horizontal.
  • the guide plate 10 preferably maintains a distance of at least 30 mm to the side wall 2 or rear wall of the housing and to the inside of the door 3 in order not to hinder the circulation of the free convection flow.
  • the heat sink 9 is designed as a ribbed heat sink. It has an arrangement of several parallel cooling ribs 11 protruding into the refrigerated goods receiving space and is arranged on the underside of a trough 12, which is filled, for example, with pourable ice.
  • the tub 12 filled with pourable ice forms the refrigerant reservoir 4.
  • the cooling body 9 is connected to the tub 12 directly or indirectly through heat-conducting intermediate elements. Like the heat sink 9, this consists of a material with good thermal conductivity properties.
  • the tub 12 is made of sheet metal in the exemplary embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2 if the heat sink 9 has additional heat transfer surfaces 13, which extend into the interior of the trough 12, to improve the heat transfer.
  • the heat transfer surfaces 13 are designed as ribs, the distance between the ribs being selected to be sufficiently large so that the pourable ice 14 can fill the spaces between the ribs.
  • the tub 12 is expediently closed with a cover 15 and is also suitable for receiving dry ice as a refrigerant. If the tub is designed with a flat bottom surface, the tub can also be charged with pre-cooled ice packs or pre-cooled eutectic plates.
  • To the tub 12 can be in the Fig. 1 and 2 Not shown device for draining melt water be connected.
  • Fig. 3 has a vertical partition 16 within the refrigerated goods receiving space 5 on a channel 17 for draining melt water.
