Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooling device comprising an evaporator.
  • the cooling devices are composed of two compartments, one on top of the other, called fresh food and freezing compartments.
  • the freezing compartment is positioned above the fresh food compartment.
  • the freezing compartment is cooled by means of the evaporator wrapped around the compartment.
  • the evaporator is placed inside the rear wall.
  • the fresh food compartment is cooled by natural convection.
  • the hot and humid air rising along the door is cooled on the rear wall so as to leave its moisture.
  • Temperature-controlled compartments in the cooling devices are used more in recent years. In the application of such compartments, valve, direct or indirect cooling solutions are preferred. Moreover, integrated electronic control applications having a sensor are widely used. The temperature-controlled compartments create the need for extra capacity and/or efficient and distributed management of capacity. In this context, in addition to the factors mentioned above, it is observed that integrated evaporator solutions integrated with the air duct provide effective results in providing the desired capacities.
  • an evaporator having a rectangular plate, which is bent to form an open box at the front and back and placed on the inner surface of the freezing compartment, and tubes arranged in serpentine form on the parts of the plate corresponding to the freezing compartment side walls and ceiling.
  • a two-compartment cooling device comprising an evaporator which is arranged on the base, ceiling and rear wall of the freezing compartment and then extends to the fresh food compartment.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device wherein efficient and homogeneous cooling conditions are obtained and the operation times of the compressor are decreased, thus providing energy savings.
  • the cooling device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises an air duct; a wall which divides the air duct in two in the direction of the air flow; and at least one evaporator which is disposed in the air duct, which has an inlet and an outlet, which is formed by bending a tube, wherein the refrigerant circulates and wherein the wall remains between the two serpentine forms in the same plane.
  • the neighbor passes at both sides of the evaporator extend in the same horizontal direction such that the wall remains therebetween.
  • the lengths of the tubes between the evaporator passes at both sides are equal to each other.
  • the two side-by-side serpentine forms are symmetrical although there is a wall therebetween.
  • the tube connecting the serpentine forms at both sides is flat, and extends parallel to the lower side of the wall.
  • the tube is bent so as to be parallel to both lateral sides and the upper side of the wall and connects the serpentine forms at both sides.
  • the tube connecting the serpentine forms at both sides partially surrounds the wall, but does not surround the lower side of the wall.
  • the tube is bent so as to be parallel to both lateral sides and the lower side of the wall and connects the serpentine forms at both sides.
  • the tube connecting the serpentine forms at both sides partially surrounds the wall, but does not surround the upper side of the wall.
  • the neighbor passes at both sides separated by the wall do not extend in the same direction and are positioned in a staggered manner.
  • the neighbor passes at both sides of the evaporator extend in the vertical direction parallel to each other and the wall such that the wall remains therebetween.
  • the lengths of the tubes between the evaporator passes at both sides are equal to each other.
  • the two side-by-side serpentine forms are symmetrical although there is a wall therebetween.
  • the tube is bent so as to be parallel to both lateral sides and the upper side of the wall and connects the serpentine forms at both sides.
  • the tube connecting the serpentine forms at both sides partially surrounds the wall, but does not surround the lower side of the wall.
  • the evaporator pass distances are equal to each other.
  • the evaporator is used for cooling the fresh food compartment or the freezing compartment.
  • the evaporator is used for cooling the temperature-controlled compartment.
  • the evaporator is a finned tube evaporator.
  • the evaporator is an open tube evaporator.
  • the evaporator is a wire-on-tube evaporator.
  • the fresh food and/or freezing and/or temperature-controlled compartment, where the evaporator is placed can be cooled efficiently, and capacity can be used efficiently for all cooling volumes.
  • Effective and homogeneous cooling conditions are provided by minimizing the amount of air escaping from the sides of the evaporator, and energy consumption savings are achieved by reducing compressor operating times with the effective use of heat transfer surface area.
  • the cooling device of the present invention comprises at least one fan (2); an air duct (1); a wall (6) which divides the air duct (1) in two in the direction of the air flow; and at least one evaporator (3) which is disposed in the air duct (1), which has an inlet and an outlet, which is formed by bending a tube (4), wherein the refrigerant circulates and wherein the wall (6) remains between the two serpentine forms in the same plane.
  • the refrigerant passes through the inlet of the evaporator (3), circulates the serpentine form on one side of the wall (6) and reaches the outlet by passing to the other adjacent serpentine form on the other side of the wall (6), and in this case, the heat transfer surface area is further increased compared to evaporators where a single serpentine form is used in the same surface area.
  • the amount of escaping air is minimized and efficient and homogeneous cooling conditions and effective use of the heat transfer surface area are ensured.
  • energy consumption gains are provided by reducing compressor operating times.
  • the neighbor passes (5) at both sides of the evaporator (3) extend in the same horizontal direction such that the wall (6) remains therebetween.
  • the lengths of the tubes (4) between the evaporator (3) passes (5) at both sides are equal to each other.
  • the two side-by-side serpentine forms are symmetrical although there is a wall (6) therebetween.
  • the tube (4) connecting the serpentine forms at both sides is flat, and extends parallel to the lower side of the wall (6) ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 ).
  • the tube (4) is bent so as to be parallel to both lateral sides and the upper side of the wall (6) and connects the serpentine forms at both sides.
  • the tube (4) connecting the serpentine forms at both sides partially surrounds the wall (6), but does not surround the lower side of the wall (6) ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 ).
  • the tube (4) is bent so as to be parallel to both lateral sides and the lower side of the wall (6) and connects the serpentine forms at both sides.
  • the tube (4) connecting the serpentine forms at both sides partially surrounds the wall (6), but does not surround the upper side of the wall (6) ( Figure 5 and Figure 6 ).
  • the neighbor passes (5) at both sides separated by the wall (6) do not extend in the same direction and are positioned in a staggered manner.
  • the neighbor passes (5) at both sides of the evaporator (3) extend in the vertical direction parallel to each other and the wall (6) such that the wall (6) remains therebetween.
  • the lengths of the tubes (4) between the evaporator (3) passes (5) at both sides are equal to each other.
  • the two side-by-side serpentine forms are symmetrical although there is a wall (6) therebetween.
  • the tube (4) is bent so as to be parallel to both lateral sides and the upper side of the wall (6) and connects the serpentine forms at both sides.
  • the tube (4) connecting the serpentine forms at both sides partially surrounds the wall (6), but does not surround the lower side of the wall (6) ( Figure 7 and Figure 8 ).
  • the cooling device comprises a blowing duct (7) at the lower side of the air duct (1).
  • the cooling device comprises an evaporator (3) having an additional serpentine form which is formed by bending the tube (4) and which extends towards the mouth of the air blowing duct (7) ( Figure 9 and Figure 10 ).
