Definitions

  • the invention relates to a door, in particular for a refrigerator and / or freezer, with a door frame, which has a door frame profile and at least two transparent panes, which are spaced from each other parallel to the door frame plane and in this case form at least one flat, gas-filled cavity.
  • Such doors are used in particular for refrigerators for the food retail trade. On the one hand, they are intended to keep the energy consumption of the refrigerators or freezers low due to good thermal insulation and, on the other hand, allow customers to have a direct view of the contents of the appliance even when the door is closed.
  • the transparent panes are not covered with condensation, whereby the visibility of the product and also the overall appearance of the product range is impaired.
  • the risk of condensation forming is especially due to the comparatively cold surface of the outside of the door, at which water vapor contained in the ambient air can be deposited in liquid form. Especially at high temperatures, the ambient air can absorb large amounts of water vapor, so that in particular in warm areas standing outdoors coolers or freezers are affected by the unwanted condensation.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a door, especially for a refrigerator and / or freezer, which has a low tendency to form condensation, is inexpensive to produce and also ensures low energy consumption of the device.
  • the object is achieved by a door, in particular for a refrigerator and / or freezer, with
  • At least two transparent discs which are spaced from each other parallel to the door frame plane and in this case together with the door frame profile at least form a flat, gas-filled cavity, - wherein the discs are made of a polymeric material.
  • a polymeric door frame profile is used, which forms significant advantages in terms of thermal insulation due to the low thermal conductivity of polymeric materials over metal solutions, eg aluminum profiles.
  • the polymeric door frame profile creates thermal bridging between the interior of the device and prevents the outside of the door, whereby the risk of condensation on the outside of the door is permanently reduced.
  • the low thermal conductivity of polymeric materials according to the invention is also used to increase the thermal insulation effect of the discs according to the invention.
  • the gas filling the at least one areal cavity consists of at least 70% by volume of nitrogen.
  • the cavity may be filled with atmospheric air; a special, expensive argon filling is not required due to the improved thermal insulation properties of the door frame profile and the panes.
  • the air encountered in the earth's atmosphere usually has a nitrogen content of 77-79 vol .-%, an oxygen content of 20 - 22 vol .-% and other gases (water vapor, argon, C0 2, and other gases in traces).
  • the water vapor content in the atmospheric air is usually 1 - 2 Vol .-% In very cold air, this value can also be lower, in very hot air and higher.
  • the at least one cavity is expediently sealed after its filling to the outside environment, so that practically no moisture can penetrate into the cavity from the outside when the refrigerator or freezer is in operation.
  • At least three transparent discs are provided, which accordingly form at least two planar cavities.
  • a three-pane construction is advantageous in terms of thermal insulation.
  • the at least two discs are made of polymethylene methacrylate (PMMA).

  • the above-mentioned materials for various slices can be freely combined (eg, inner pane of PMMA, outer pane of PC). All of the abovementioned materials have the advantage that, even with a slice thickness of several millimeters, they ensure high degrees of transmission, in particular> 90%, for visible light.
  • the discs made of polymer material have a comparatively low weight.
  • This advantage can be used according to a preferred embodiment of the invention to keep the discs without separate spacers at a distance from each other, for which purpose all discs are directly connected to the door frame, preferably glued, are.
  • a thermal bridge formation due to spacers can be avoided and thus the tendency for condensation on the outside of the door can be further reduced.
  • at least one disc is connected to the door frame via a connecting web arranged on the door frame profile, preferably integrally formed.
  • at least one connecting web connects an inner pane, which is surrounded on both sides by further disks, to the door frame.
  • the disks have a thickness 6s of not more than 6 mm, preferably not more than 3 mm.
  • This weight and material-saving design is possible in particular with correspondingly thicker dimensioning of the cavities.
  • the ratio of disk thickness 5 S to thickness ⁇ ⁇ of the areal cavity is at least 5, eg at least 6, for example at least 8.
  • the polymeric door frame profile may be made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Alternatively, it is also possible, the door frame profile, for example, polypropylene (PP) or polyamide (PA) manufacture. In the context of the invention, it is further that the door frame profile has at least one hollow chamber. It may be advantageous in this context, if the door frame profile in order to avoid condensation processes in the cavities in the hollow chamber wall openings which connect via the hollow chamber at least two cavities fluidly with each other. This fluidic connection can optionally be supported via arranged in the hollow chamber tubes, which are connected to these openings end.
