Definitions

  • Cooling device for reducing the temperature of cooked warm food stored in a container, in particular in a standard trolley.
  • the invention relates to a cooling device for reducing the temperature of cooked warm food in a liquid or pasty state, especially in a standard trolley, in a container, comprising a plate-like cover body that covers the opening cross-section of the container or of the standard trolley, the cover body having vertically arranged cooling elements on its underside which, when the cooling device is attached, are immersed in the volume mass of the food, and a cooling medium circulates through the cooling elements the food removes the stored heat.
  • the invention thus poses the problem of developing a cooling device for reducing the temperature of cooked, warm food in liquid or pasty form kept in a container, in particular a standard trolley, in such a way that, in particular after the cooling process, the cooling rods or cooling elements for a further cooling process can be used again.
  • the problem is solved in that on the underside of the cover body a perforated plate or a perforated plate formed stripping plate is provided which has a plurality of holes (19), wherein the individual cooling elements (5) through the holes (19) in the container (2) can be moved in and out of the container (2), so that by means of the Stripper plate (16) can be removed from the cooling elements (5) when the cooling device (1) is pulled out of the food, the individual holes (19) being dimensioned in such a way that they lie tightly against a jacket of the cooling elements (5) so that a scraping effect of the food residues on the scraper plate (16) takes place, the scraper plate (16) being penetrated by channels (20) ending in a hole edge area (21) for feeding in cleaning steam on a hole circumference of the holes (19).
  • the stripper plate is arranged in a frame formed by tubes, which is equipped with a nozzle for cleaning the cooling elements. Due to this design, it is achieved that when the cooling elements are pulled out, they are, as it were, emitted.
  • the frame consists of a lower and an upper pipe grille lying one above the other.
  • the individual pipe grille in turn consists of a circumferential pipe frame in which pipe sections with nozzle openings are arranged parallel to one another.
  • the upper tubular grating is pivotably arranged on the lower tubular grating, the tubular sections of the lower tubular grating being arranged to run transversely to the tubular sections of the upper tubular grating. Due to this design, it is now achieved that the perforated plate or the perforated plate is integrated between these two pivotably arranged pipe grids, so that a mechanical stripping takes place here once through the stripper plate, whereby a Spraying and irradiation with water can take place around the circumference of the jacket of the individual cooling elements.
  • An inlet and an outlet for a cleaning medium are provided on the tubular frame.
  • the stripper plate is also interspersed with channels ending in the hole area for feeding in cleaning steam on the hole circumference. This results in double cleaning, which on the one hand acts directly on the jacket of the individual cooling element, namely by virtue of the fact that the cleaning steam on the perimeter of the hole in the stripper plate acts directly on the individual cooling element, whereby the parallel pipe sections, which are in two levels work, also provide for a final rinse.
  • channels are arranged in the cover body which are in operative connection with the cooling elements fastened to the surface and the cover body at least two Comprises levels with the channels, which provide a flow and a return of the cooling medium for the cooling elements.
  • the flow and return are integrated in a primary circuit, which in turn is in operative connection with a secondary circuit for regulating the cooling temperature.
  • a thermometer is provided in one of the cooling elements, which is in operative connection with the secondary circuit for regulation.
  • the thermometer which detects the temperature of the food to be cooled, is provided in the center of the cooling elements arranged on the cover body, so that in particular the temperature in the core of the food that prevails in the center of the volume mass is detected.
  • the primary circuit is connected to the secondary circuit via a three-two-way valve.
  • the two cooling circuits are in operative connection via the three-two-way valve.
  • cold medium is fed into the primary circuit accordingly, via the three-two-way valve, so that controlled cooling takes place.
  • the regulation via the primary circuit is carried out accordingly by measuring the temperature on the cooling element, so that a gradual controlled cooling can take place via the secondary circuit.
  • thermometers and regulators are also provided in the primary circuit in the supply line and in the discharge line so that the cooling process or the cooling process can be carried out in a moderate manner.
  • the cooling medium circulating from the primary circuit is pumped through the individual cooling elements in such a way that the cooling medium flows through the double-walled pipe of the cooling element and the cooling medium is supplied via the annular space between the inner pipe and the outer pipe and returned through the inner pipe.
  • the cooling device as such interacts here with a stroke submission, by means of which either a lowering of the cooling elements in the Standard trolley or the standard trolley is raised to remove the cooling elements.
  • lances are moved into a filled container or standard car.
  • the individual lance is a double-walled tube, with a second tube with a smaller diameter inserted in the outer tube.
  • a coolant such as B. water, ice water, brine, glycol, etc. circulates through the spaces between the two pipes.
  • the tubes are held in place by stainless steel plates and inserted into one another.
  • Corresponding chambers for the flow and return of the cooling medium ensure uniform pressure distribution and thus uniform flows in the lances.
  • the corresponding heat exchanger surface is much larger than in a cooling vessel.
  • the wall thickness is also much thinner than with a cooling vessel, which increases the heat transfer.
  • a distribution of the heat during cooling can be increased by moving the lances out vertically at certain intervals or by re-submerging them. The vertical movement for the immersion process is carried out by a lifting device.
  • cooling system According advantages of the cooling system according to the invention are that no pump conveys the food to be cooled through pipes, which would only damage the product. Furthermore, the system does not have any hidden corners and edges in which bacteria can form. Furthermore, cross-contamination from further filling of a cooling vessel is excluded. A particular advantage is that little cleaning effort is required. In addition, there is little product loss because the batch can be changed easily. It is also advantageous that product damage does not occur during cooling.
  • the device for cooling in the warm food in the standard trolley can be immersed, wherein a cooling medium circulates through the device, which a uniform, homogeneous reduction of the stored heat over the mass volume stored in the standard trolley Food works.
  • the device consists of a plate-like cover body which completely covers the opening cross section of the container, and here in particular the opening cross section of the standard trolley.
  • the cover body advantageously has vertical cooling elements on its underside which, when the device is attached, dip into the volume mass to be cooled. Due to this design it is achieved that the cooling elements come into direct contact with the warm food over the entire volume of the food to be cooled, so that due to this design an effective heat dissipation is achieved, whereby the cooling takes place accordingly in the core area of the food. This means that no residual germs can form and undesired post-cooking effects arise.
  • channels are arranged in the cover body, which are in connection with the cooling elements attached to the surface.
  • the cover body comprises at least two levels with channels that provide a flow and a return for the coolant through the cooling elements.
  • these are arranged distributed over a surface grid on the underside of the cover body, and here preferably over a rectangular surface. It goes without saying that when a round vessel or a round standard trolley is used, the cooling elements on the underside of the cover body are accordingly also arranged on a circular surface.
  • the individual cooling element comprises a double-walled tube, the cooling medium being supplied via the annular space that extends between the inner tube and the outer tube and being returned again through the inner tube. This results in a coolant circuit that quickly and efficiently cools down the heated food. The reverse flow is also possible.
  • the individual cooling element can also consist of a flow pipe and a return pipe exist, which are connected at their lower ends with a pipe bend.
  • a stripper plate designed as a perforated plate is provided on the underside of the cover body, which removes leftovers from the cooling elements when the device is pulled out. It goes without saying that when the lances or the pipes are pulled out of the cooled food mass, the scraper plate remains on the opening cross-section of the standard trolley, with the food residues then also being scraped off on the underside of the scraper plate.
  • rubberized ring seals are particularly present in the openings of the perforated plate, which enable clean removal.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 show a cooling device, on the one hand in the front view and on the other hand in the sectional side view, for reducing the temperature of cooked warm food 3 in liquid or pasty form held in a container, in particular in a standard trolley 2.
  • the device 1 for cooling is immersed in the warm food 3, a cooling medium circulating through the device 1, which causes a uniform, homogeneous reduction of the stored heat over the mass volume of the food 3 stored in the standard trolley 2.
  • a coolant is supplied which is then introduced into the warmed food 3 via the device 1.
  • the device 1 extends over the upper opening cross section of the standard carriage 2 and covers it.
  • the device comprises a cover body 4, which has vertically arranged cooling elements 5 on its underside, which immerse in the attached state of the device 1 in the volume of the food 3, as in particular in the Figures 1 and 2 will be shown. This situation is also particularly evident in the Figure 4 shown where in particular the cooling elements 5 are immersed in the food 3 in an exposed representation.
  • channels 6 and 7 are arranged in the cover body 4 and are connected to the cooling elements 5 fastened to the surface 8.
  • the cover body 4 has at least two levels 9 and 10 with the channels 6 and 7, the level 10 providing the flow and the other level 9 providing the return of the coolant for the cooling elements 7.
  • the lower level 10 - and here the channel 7 - as a flow formed, the plane 9 with the channels 6 here forming the return.
  • These channels 6 and 7 are correspondingly provided with flange connections 11 and 12 - shown in FIG Figure 1 - in connection so that the coolant supply can be connected accordingly.
  • the flow and return can also be swapped.
  • the cooling elements 5 are arranged on the cover body 4 via a surface grid 8 on the underside of the cover body 4, preferably via a rectangular surface, as is shown in particular in FIG Figure 3 can be seen. It goes without saying here that if, for example, a round standard trolley 2 is used here, the surface pattern is then also round. From the Figure 4 it can be seen that the individual cooling element 5 comprises a double-walled tube, the cooling medium being supplied via the annular space that extends between the inner tube and the outer tube and being returned again through the inner tube. This means that the cooling medium absorbs heat over the entire circumference of the pipe in the food 3 and thus the heat can be dissipated in the entire mass volume of the food 3.
  • these can also consist of individual flow and return pipes which are each connected to a pipe bend at their lower ends.
  • the cooling medium is then introduced into the feed 3 via a flow pipe, the heat being correspondingly removed via the return pipe located next to it. Due to a large volume flow or a low calculated temperature difference, the heat dissipation takes effect over the entire length of the pipe in the product.
  • a stripper plate 16 designed as a perforated plate is provided on the underside of the cover body 6, which removes food residues from the cooling elements 5 when the device 1 is pulled out. It is now conceivable that when the cover body 4 with the cooling elements 5 is pulled out of the feed volume, the food residues adhering to the outer tube 15 will then stick to the perforated plate 16 are stripped, in order to further improve the stripping process, in particular rubberized ring seals 17 are provided in the individual holes of the stripper plate 16.
  • the device 1 In order to use the device 1 simply and quickly, it interacts with a lifting device 18, by means of which either the cooling elements 5 are lowered into the standard trolley 2 or the standard trolley 2 is raised to accommodate the cooling elements 5.
