Description
本發明係關於一種製冷裝置以及包含其之保冷箱,特別是關於一種可控制蒸發/昇華壓力以維持製冷裝置周圍或保冷箱內溫度的製冷裝置以及包含其之保冷箱。 The present invention relates to a refrigeration device and a cold storage box containing the same, and in particular to a refrigeration device that can control evaporation/sublimation pressure to maintain the temperature around the refrigeration device or in the cold storage box and a cold storage box containing the same.
許多原料、產品需放置在適當溫度的環境才得以有效保存。隨著全球環境溫度的變化加劇,保存空間的溫度維持便顯得格外重要。 Many raw materials and products need to be placed in an environment with appropriate temperature to be effectively preserved. As global environmental temperature changes intensify, maintaining the temperature of storage spaces becomes particularly important.
以食品為例,在熱帶、亞熱帶地區,食品需要的保存溫度通常比室外溫度低,為了維持低溫,一直以來多是在運輸工具上加裝冷凍/冷藏機組(包含壓縮機及相關配件)以長時間的維持較低的空間溫度。相應的便需要佔用大量空間、使用大量電力,同時產生不小的運作噪音。 Take food as an example. In tropical and subtropical areas, the storage temperature required for food is usually lower than the outdoor temperature. In order to maintain the low temperature, refrigeration/refrigeration units (including compressors and related accessories) have been installed on transportation vehicles to ensure long-term storage. maintain a lower space temperature over time. Accordingly, it takes up a lot of space, uses a lot of power, and produces a lot of operating noise.
近年,由於人們追求便利及流行疾病的防範措施,除了大份量的食品運輸,小份量食品的遞送更是日益盛行。 In recent years, as people pursue convenience and preventive measures against epidemic diseases, in addition to the transportation of large portions of food, the delivery of small portions of food has become increasingly popular.
由於小份量食物採用更簡便的運送方式,裝載少量食物的運輸工具(例如:機車)實難以、也不會裝配冷凍/冷藏機組,而是採用隔熱材質包裹食物,或者將食物與冰塊、乾冰一同放置以吸收空間中的熱量。然而,此類方式的保冷效果無法維持太久、更無法使放置空間的溫度依需求保持恆定,難以確保 食物的風味且可能產生其他問題,例如:產生許多廢棄的隔熱材質、空間中的二氧化碳氣體無法排放及/或無法暫時停止製冷維持更長時間的製冷力等。 Since small portions of food require simpler transportation methods, it is difficult and impossible for transportation vehicles (such as motorcycles) to carry small amounts of food to be equipped with refrigeration/refrigeration units. Instead, the food should be wrapped in insulating materials, or the food should be packed with ice or ice cubes. Dry ice is placed together to absorb heat from the space. However, the cooling effect of this method cannot be maintained for a long time, nor can the temperature of the placement space be kept constant as required, making it difficult to ensure The flavor of the food may also cause other problems, such as the production of a lot of waste insulation materials, the inability to discharge carbon dioxide gas in the space, and/or the inability to temporarily stop refrigeration to maintain refrigeration power for a longer period of time, etc.

Presenter.

請參考第1圖,第1圖是根據本發明之實施例之製冷裝置1,製冷裝置1包含裝置本體10以及壓力控制組件20。裝置本體10可具有一殼體11,以定義一容納空間13,容納空間13可容納一製冷劑。製冷劑可選地為固態二氧化碳、液態二氧化碳或其他環保冷媒。殼體11可係由鋁合金、銅合金、鐵系合金或者其他可導熱的材料的其中一或多者所製成。壓力控制組件20可以控制一蒸發或昇華壓力,且與裝置本體10相連接,使容納空間13與裝置本體10之外部可以流體連通,以將相變的製冷劑排放到裝置本體10之外部。如此,除了透過裝置本體10中製冷劑在蒸發/昇華時會吸收熱量(相變時所需潛熱)的物理特性達到製冷效果,還可以透過控制蒸發或昇華壓力進一步維持製冷劑的蒸發溫度在固定區間。
Please refer to Figure 1. Figure 1 shows a
詳細而言,請參考第2圖所示,本發明之製冷裝置1的一實施例的裝置本體10的殼體11可區分為一上管12、一蒸發管14以及一下管16。上管12、蒸發管14及下管16為一管狀容器(亦可以為其他能夠封裝製冷劑的任意形狀容器),上管12設置於蒸發管14的上方,下管16設置於蒸發管14下方。於本實施例中,上管12的長度延伸方向12D與下管16的長度延伸方向16D彼此大致平行,蒸發管14的長度延伸方向14D與上管12、下管16的長度延伸方向12D、16D大致垂直。上管12、蒸發管14以及下管16可以是一體成型被製造而成;也可以是分開獨立製造而成再彼此連接,例如每個蒸發管14的上端14a及下端14b分別可設置有一流體接頭15,使蒸發管14可與上管12以及下管16流體連通,並共同定義一容納空間13。當製冷裝置1的放置方式是使蒸發管14的長度延伸方向14D與放置平面的水平面大致呈垂直、且各蒸發管14內的製冷劑為流體時(例如呈液體L),製冷劑可因下管16的設置而在蒸發管14內保持在同一高度,使熱傳能力於各個蒸發管14之間均勻分佈。上管12可包含一充填口121,以供使用者填充製冷劑至裝置本體10的容納空間13中,當製冷劑為流體時,充填口121可設置有充填閥122,例如液控式充填閥或彈簧復位式充填閥以助於填充。為了增加熱傳面積,裝置本體10可設置有數個蒸發管14,在第2圖中示出為五個蒸發管14,但不以此作為限制。
In detail, please refer to FIG. 2 . In an embodiment of the
接續上述實施例,製冷裝置1的壓力控制組件20可設置與上管12流體連通。壓力控制組件20由流體流動方向之上游至下游,可依序包含關斷閥22、蒸發壓力調整閥24及排氣管26,但其順序不以此作為限制。關斷閥22用以開啟或關閉容納空間13與裝置本體10之外部的連通,當關斷閥22開啟時,蒸發的氣體G可通過壓力控制組件20及排氣管26排出到製冷裝置1之外部;當關斷閥22關
閉時,蒸發的氣體G無法離開製冷裝置1,進而避免製冷劑產生相變而可延長製冷能力的續航時間。蒸發壓力調整閥24是可以機械式地控制蒸發或昇華壓力,以維持蒸發或昇華溫度,蒸發壓力調整閥24可為減壓調壓閥或背壓型調壓閥。舉例而言,背壓型調壓閥可為世偉洛克(Swagelock)之KPB系列的調壓閥。排氣管26可為一長管狀,以可調整地將製冷劑排放至遠離製冷裝置1之處。
Continuing from the above embodiment, the
由於將液態二氧化碳的蒸發壓力控制在4.2~72.9barG之間時,可對應-56.6~31.1℃的蒸發溫度;將固態二氧化碳的昇華壓力控制在0.1~4.0barG之間時,可對應-78~-57℃的昇華溫度,較符合本發明預期之使用情境期望的保冷溫度,且二氧化碳又具有無毒、不可燃、不會破壞臭氧層等優點,以下以二氧化碳作為製冷劑詳細說明蒸發壓力調整閥24之作用如下:
若製冷劑是液態二氧化碳,藉由蒸發壓力調整閥24將裝置本體10之容納空間13內的壓力維持在72.9barG,製冷劑的蒸發溫度原則上可維持在31.1℃;若製冷劑是固態二氧化碳,將裝置本體10的容納空間13內的壓力維持在0.1barG,製冷劑的的昇華溫度原則上可維持在-78℃。其原理在於,當將蒸發壓力維持在72.9barG時,液態二氧化碳轉換為氣態二氧化碳的臨界點溫度為31.1℃(即蒸發壓力為72.9barG時的蒸發溫度),若環境溫度大於31.1℃,液態二氧化碳便會持續蒸發直到環境溫度降到31.1℃。只要環境溫度不高於31.1℃,裝置本體內的液態二氧化碳便會維持在液體狀態、不會產生相變,也不會再對外收熱量,製冷裝置1便得以具有較長的續航力。同理,以固態二氧化碳作為製冷劑時,將昇華壓力維持在4barG的情況下,固態二氧化碳轉換為氣態二氧化碳的臨界點溫度為-57℃(即昇華壓力為4barG時的昇華溫度),只要環境溫度不高於-57℃,
裝置本體內的固態二氧化碳便會維持在固體狀態、不會對外收熱量,以具有較長的續航力。
Because when the evaporation pressure of liquid carbon dioxide is controlled between 4.2~72.9barG, it can correspond to an evaporation temperature of -56.6~31.1℃; when the sublimation pressure of solid carbon dioxide is controlled between 0.1~4.0barG, it can correspond to -78~- The sublimation temperature of 57°C is more in line with the cooling temperature expected in the expected use situation of the present invention, and carbon dioxide has the advantages of being non-toxic, non-flammable, and not damaging to the ozone layer. The following uses carbon dioxide as the refrigerant to explain the function of the evaporation
因此,本發明之製冷裝置1,可藉由預先設定一固定的蒸發或昇華壓力,使其具有固定的蒸發或昇華溫度。為方便使用者依據不同需求進行調整,也可例如於上管12設置壓力錶123以監測容納空間13內的蒸發或昇華壓力,進而藉由控制蒸發或昇華壓力調整製冷裝置1周圍的溫度。可選地,蒸發壓力調閥24及壓力錶123可連接一控制器(圖未示),讓使用者可藉控制器直接設定所需溫度,控制器便可經壓力錶123讀取壓力數值進而自動調整蒸發壓力調閥24要維持的蒸發或昇華壓力。
Therefore, the
此外,上管12亦可與其他部品連接,例如彈簧式安全閥、槓桿式安全閥或脈衝式安全閥等(圖未示),以避免過壓而發生意外。
