Description

Camera conditioned for batteries for containers of electronic or telecommunication equipment.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a camera conditioned for batteries that is located within a container for telecommunication equipment, understanding how indiscriminately a closet, a cabin, a booth, etc.

The object of the invention is to achieve within of the container a compartmentalization, in which different equipment components are physically located independent, in order to obtain climatic conditions appropriate for each of them, with an optimal consumption of Energy.

Background of the invention

As is known, equipment containers electronic or telecommunication are usually subject to important and broad spectrum thermal loads, such as ambient temperatures ranging from -10 ° C to 45 ° C, e insolation of up to 1,120 W / m2 and heat dissipation of own teams. On the other hand and as is also known, the environmental requirements of the different elements or components of the team are also different, so that teams electronics can exceed a relatively temperature range wide, while almost all types of batteries suffer a significant reduction of benefits and reduction of its useful life if not they remain around 22-23 ° C.

To counteract the effects of these charges thermal, normally the solution adopted is to provide the container of an air conditioning equipment, to prevent the indoor temperature exceeds inadequate values for batteries

This means having to keep the container at a temperature considerably lower than that which can support electronic equipment, which in practice equals energy consumption, by air equipment conditioning, well above the minimum that theoretically would be necessary.

Description of the invention

The camera conditioned for batteries inside a container for electronic or telecommunication equipment that the invention proposes resolves in a fully satisfactory manner the problematic previously exposed, allowing to maintain adequate and different temperatures in the "equipment zone" and in the "battery zone", that is to say allowing equipment and batteries remain in different thermal environments.

Since, as previously stated, the "equipment zone" is a space with climatic requirements less critical than the "battery zone", for the first zone a traditional ventilation system is valid to evacuate the heat dissipated by the equipment, that is to say that in the vast majority of the cases the refrigeration is achieved by simple forced ventilation that constitutes a reliable system of reduced consumption while the "battery zone" physically isolated from the "equipment zone", it has a team conditioner, specifically a cold producing equipment, for achieve the lowest thermal level that these require batteries

According to another of the characteristics of the It is intended that the said "battery zone" be materialize in a physically independent enclosure of the "zone of equipment "introducible within the latter, with walls thermal insulation and whose conditioner is the type of which produce cold by Peltier effect, with its corresponding cover access to the interior

It is achieved in this way using a small conditioning equipment, for the battery container enclosure, with minimal energy consumption, while the rest of the volume of the container, where the electronic equipment is housed, is cooled only by a ventilation system, also with a minimum energy consumption

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a representation schematic in side elevation and in section, a container for electronic or telecommunication equipment inside which Find the independent battery chamber.

Figure 2.- Shows a detail in perspective the battery chamber participating in said container.

Figure 3.- Shows an enlarged detail and in section of said enclosure or chamber for batteries.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined and in particular of figure 1, can be seen as the container for Telecommunication equipment can materialize in a closet (1) or in a booth, in a cabin, etc., whose interior is divided into two clearly differentiated zones, an area where establish electronic equipment (2) and an area (3) in which Locate an isolated enclosure, which also corresponds to your own reference (3), container or battery chamber.

Electronic equipment (2), which by its own nature are less demanding from the level point of view thermal that can withstand, are cooled by simple ventilation conventional, by means of grilles (4) suitably arranged in the cabinet (1), or by forced ventilation with the collaboration of a fan (5) while the enclosure independent (3), the one destined to the batteries, incorporates thermal conditioners that produce cold by Peltier effect and which will be discussed later.

More specifically and as the Figures 2 and 3, the enclosure (3) for the batteries is materialized in a compartment (3) independent of the rest of the volume of the closet (1), enclosure (3) with its walls conveniently thermo-insulated and incorporating a conditioner thermoelectric capable of cooling to achieve a temperature constant between 22 and 25 ° C inside.

This enclosure incorporates a parallel body which corresponds to the reference itself (3), opened by its front face where it has the corresponding cover (6), preferably galvanized steel sheet or aluminum, painted with polyester powder paint and coated inside with a thermal insulating material. Said cover is mechanized for assembly of the microconditioners and incorporates a fixing system by means of drive screws without tools to fix it to the body.

A couple of profiles in omega (7), soldiers to the sides of the body base (3) and equipped with holes, allow the coupling of leveling feet (8).

On the lid itself (6) or on any other wall of the body (1), the conditioner or the thermoelectric conditioners (9), which because of the Peltier type cool electronically without using refrigerant gases, compressors or condenser-evaporator stages, just apply a current in a semiconductor to occur cooling in one of its faces and heating in the other.

More specifically the module or each module thermoelectric semiconductor (10) incorporates a radiator on each side (11) of aluminum fins and a fan (12), so that the fan (12) of the inner face helps spread the cold inside of the enclosure (3) in which the batteries are housed, and the fan outside (12 ') helps evacuate heat.

The conditioner (9) incorporates an electronics control acting as an electronic thermostat to maintain the setpoint temperature inside the enclosure (3). A temperature sensor is responsible for measuring the temperature in the inside the enclosure to make the regulation correspondent.

According to the structuring described, get a compact solution for air conditioning container, in the absence of moving parts except fans, no fluids, ducts, compressors, evaporators, with a very low noise level, a long and reliable lifespan, in full absence of maintenance and in optimal maintenance conditions for the batteries, whose lifespan in turn looks considerably elongated while a notable reduction in energy consumption of the cabinet, cabin or item in question, even operating in a fault situation in the AC power supply.
