Description
- The present invention concerns an external modular device for autonomous regulation of the temperature of an enclosure consisting of an isothermal container, particularly of the type intended for transporting heat-sensitive merchandise.
- It is known that to ensure the cold chain for this type of enclosure, it is not enough to be able to produce cold, since during transport, the enclosure may become subject to low-temperature conditions requiring its heating. For example, this is the case for an enclosure containing heat-sensitive products for which it is essential to maintain them between 2° C. and 8° C. and which, during transport, are subject during a certain time to an exterior temperature of −10° C. and at another time to a temperature of 30° C., etc.
- In a case in which the enclosure consists of a large-volume container, normally a refrigeration unit is used, the evaporator of which is capable of furnishing the enclosure with the negative calories necessary for its cooling, and which is also capable of furnishing the calories necessary for its heating, by causing hot compressed fluid to pass through the evaporator.
- However, such a device, particularly for reasons of weight and size, can only be used for large-volume enclosures. Moreover, this system must be able to be permanently connected to a source of electrical energy, which of course complicates the question of its transport. Furthermore, the utilization of the evaporator as means of producing heat is only possible on certain types of refrigeration units. Finally, such devices can only function in cold production mode or heat production mode, while the changeover from one mode to the other presents the risk of creating a thermal shock that could harm the integrity of certain heat-sensitive products.
- Moreover, these devices are normally integrated into the enclosures where the temperature is to be controlled, and constitute an inseparable assembly with said enclosures. It is therefore useful to be able to have a temperature regulation device that can be disposed on multiple types of containers, for example particularly in order to be able to match the power of the regulation device to the power required by the nature of the products transported and the weather conditions encountered during said transport.
- An object of the present invention is to propose an external device for maintaining the temperature of an enclosure that can be mounted, possibly removably, on an enclosure, the internal temperature of which must be preserved at a given set value, which is totally autonomous from the energy point of view and which is capable of carrying out its regulation function irrespective of the exterior temperature profile to which the enclosure is subject; said device is also modular and adaptable to the enclosure to be regulated.
- Thus, an object of the present invention is a modular device for autonomous regulation of the temperature to a specific set value, capable of being mounted on at least one storage enclosure. Said device is characterized in that it comprises a housing that contains a thermochemical system comprising a tank, possibly forming an evaporator, containing a liquefied gas capable, after evaporation, of being combined with a reactive product contained in a reactor, according to an exothermic thermochemical reaction, the reaction product obtained being capable of being regenerated by heating while releasing said gas according to a reverse thermochemical reaction, the reactor and the evaporator of the thermochemical system respectively constituting means of heating and means of cooling said enclosure, and being respectively disposed in a reactor compartment and an evaporator compartment, made in said housing, said device comprising switching means disposed in said housing and capable of:
-
- placing the reactor compartment in communication with only the storage enclosure in order to heat the latter, and at the same time, placing the evaporator compartment in communication with the exterior of the device,
- placing the evaporator compartment in communication with only the storage enclosure in order to cool the latter, and at the same time, placing the reactor compartment in communication with the exterior of the device.
- Advantageously, the housing includes means of mounting on an enclosure. Said mounting means are not limited according to the invention. It can involve straps secured to the housing and which can be wrapped around the enclosure, hooks that cooperate with complementary means disposed on the outer surface of the enclosure or any other attachment means allowing the housing to be attached, preferably removably, to the enclosure.
- In one embodiment of the invention, the device can include means capable of placing the reactor compartment and the evaporator compartment in communication with the storage enclosure at the same time.
- The device according to the invention can include an intake duct and an outlet duct that will be capable of being connected respectively to an intake and an outlet of the reactor compartment and to an intake and an outlet of the evaporator compartment, said intake duct and said outlet duct being respectively capable of being connected to an outlet and an intake of said storage enclosure.
- According to the invention, the reactor compartment and/or the evaporator compartment will include means capable of activating the circulation of the airflow passing through said compartments.
- The reactor compartment will be able to include an intake valve and an outlet valve, each of which will be capable of holding an open position in which the reactor compartment will be in communication with the exterior and a closed position in which it will be isolated from the exterior, and the evaporator compartment will be able to include an intake valve and an outlet valve, each of which will be capable of holding an open position in which the evaporator compartment will be in communication with the exterior and a closed position in which it will be isolated from the exterior.
- Furthermore, the device according to the invention will be able to include two reversing valves, namely an intake valve and an outlet valve that will be capable of holding three positions, namely:
-
- a first position in which they will respectively place the intake and outlet of the evaporator compartment in communication with the storage enclosure,
- a second position in which they will respectively place the intake and outlet of the reactor compartment in communication with the storage enclosure,
- a third position in which they will be in a middle position and will respectively place the intake and outlet of the reactor compartment and of the evaporator compartment in communication with the storage enclosure.
- The device according to the invention can be disposed in the upper part or lower part of the storage enclosure. It can also be mounted between two storage enclosures, one of said enclosures being able to be connected to the reactor in order to be heated and the other being able to be connected to the evaporator to be cooled.
- The device according to the invention may be disposed in such a way that its reactor compartment can be placed in communication with a first enclosure, and simultaneously, its evaporator compartment can be placed in communication with a second enclosure.
- Advantageously, said reactor compartment is formed in such a way as to be placed in communication with said first enclosure and simultaneously, said evaporator compartment is formed in such a way as to be placed in communication with a second enclosure. Advantageously, the device comprises at least a first enclosure on which said housing is mounted. The housing can be mounted at the upper part of said first storage enclosure.

By way of non-limiting example, one embodiment of the present invention will now be described, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a graph representing an example of a profile of temperatures to which a container equipped with a device according to the invention can be subject during a transport operation, -
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a container equipped with a device according to the invention in a cold production mode, -
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the container and of the device according to the invention represented inFIG. 2 in a heat production mode, -
FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the container and of the device according to the invention represented inFIGS. 2 and 3 in a mode of producing heat and cold at the same time, -
FIGS. 5a to 5c are schematic views representing various modes of mounting the device according to the invention on a container. - The device according to the invention is designed to enable an enclosure containing heat-sensitive products to be maintained at a specific setpoint temperature TC for a given period of time, irrespective of the climatic conditions to which said enclosure may be subject during transport, for example.
- Represented in
FIGS. 2 to 5 is an example of a container forming anenclosure 1 that is intended to contain heat-sensitive products 3 and that receives in its upper part an autonomoustemperature regulation device 2 according to the invention. - Said device comprises a housing 22 (represented in broken lines in
FIGS. 2 to 4 ) that contains a thermochemical system of a known type, which can be implemented with salts and various gases and which is essentially composed of areactor 9 containing a reagent, in this instance manganese chloride, which is mixed and compacted with an expander binder consisting in particular of expanded natural graphite, the apparent density of which is preferably between 50 kg/m3 and 150 kg/m3 and the mass proportion of manganese chloride to the expanded natural graphite preferably being between 50% and 90%. - The terms “apparent density of the expanded natural graphite” designate the density calculated by the following formula for the compacted final product: (mass of natural graphite mixed with a given mass of the reagent in order to obtain the compacted product)/the volume of the element obtained by compacting the mixture of the aforementioned natural graphite mass with the aforementioned given mass of reagent.
- The
reactor 9 is in communication, under the control of acontrol valve 11, with atank 13 in which is stored a specific gas, consisting of ammonia, said tank in this instance acting as evaporator. - The reagent and the gas are such that the reagent is capable, by an exothermic thermochemical reaction, during a so-called operating phase, of absorbing the gas, thereby generating a reaction product, and then to restore it by a reverse thermochemical reaction, during a so-called regeneration phase, when the reaction product is heated.
- Thus, when the
reactor 9 and theevaporator 13 are placed in communication, the liquid gas contained in the evaporator is vaporized, which absorbs a certain amount of heat, thereby being the source of cold production, and said gas is absorbed by the reagent, thus generating an exothermic chemical reaction, the reactor thereby being the source of heat production. Once the reaction is completed, when the reaction product contained in thereactor 9 is reheated, the gas absorbed by the reagent is released and is then condensed in theevaporator 13. - According to the invention, and as represented in the figures, the
reactor 9 and theevaporator 13 are respectively disposed inseparate compartments respective intakes intake duct 5 in communication with anoutlet 5 a of theenclosure 1, and theoutlets outlet duct 7 also in communication with anintake 7 a of theenclosure 1, under the control of a system of six distribution valves that are interlocked with each other under the control of a microcontroller, not represented in the drawing and thus explained hereinafter. - In the appended figures, one end of the
intake duct 5 is able to be connected to theaforementioned intakes intake duct 5 is connected to theoutlet 5 a made in theenclosure 1. Similarly, one end of theoutlet duct 7 is able to be connected to theaforementioned outlets outlet duct 7 is connected to anoutlet 7 a made in theenclosure 1. - The
reactor compartment 10 includes ventilation means 12 that provide the circulation of air from itsintake 10 a to itsoutlet 10 b and drives said air via theoutlet duct 7 into theenclosure 1. Similarly, theevaporator compartment 14 includes ventilation means 16 that provide the circulation of air from itsintake 14 a to itsoutlet 14 b and drives said air via theoutlet duct 7 into theenclosure 1. - The
reactor compartment 9 includes anintake valve 17 a and anoutlet valve 17 b, which are each able to occupy an open position in which thereactor compartment 10 is in communication with the exterior (FIG. 2 ) and a closed position in which it is isolated from the exterior (FIG. 3 ). - Similarly, the
evaporator compartment 14 includes anintake valve 19 a and anoutlet valve 19 b, which are each able to occupy an open position in which the evaporator compartment is in communication with the exterior (FIG. 3 ) and a closed position in which it is isolated from the exterior (FIG. 2 ). - The system also includes two reversing valves, namely an
intake valve 21 a and anoutlet valve 21 b, which are able to occupy three positions, namely: -
- a first position, represented in
FIG. 2 , in which they respectively place the intake and outlet of theevaporator 13 in communication with theenclosure 1, - a second position, represented in
FIG. 3 , in which they respectively place the intake and outlet of thereactor 9 in communication with theenclosure 1, - a third position, represented in
FIG. 4 , in which the valves are in the middle position and respectively place the intake and outlet of thereactor 9 and of theevaporator 13 in communication with theenclosure 1.
- a first position, represented in
- In an example of utilization of the present invention, a
product 3 contained in theenclosure 1 is to be transported internationally. Said enclosure must be maintained at a setpoint temperature TC of 5° C. and will be subject to various changes in temperature during said transport. - Thus, in the present example, and as represented in
FIG. 1 , the container equipped with a temperature regulation device according to the invention is first transported from its warehouse where the temperature is 15° C. (period 1) to be loaded into the baggage hold of an aircraft in which the temperature drops rapidly and remains at about −20° C. for ten hours (period 2). Upon arrival, the container is placed outdoors for four hours at a temperature of 40° C. (period 3), and is then transferred into the freight zone of a hangar, where it remains for five hours at a temperature of 25° C. (period 4). It is then loaded into the baggage hold of another aircraft, where its temperature drops to −20° C. for five hours (period 5), then is transported to an outdoor temperature of −30° C. (period 6) to the place where it is received. - Under these conditions, during
periods enclosure 1, and the microcontroller that controls the switching valves places them in the position represented inFIG. 2 , i.e., the reversingvalves intake 14 a and theoutlet 14 b of thecompartment 14 containing theevaporator 13, and thevalves enclosure 1 in order to cool said enclosure, and at the same time, thevalves intake 10 a and theoutlet 10 b of thecompartment 10 in order to evacuate into the atmosphere the heat produced by thereactor 9 during the thermochemical reaction. - Conversely, during the
periods enclosure 1 must be reheated, and to do this, the valves are placed in the position represented inFIG. 3 , i.e., the reversingvalves intake 10 a and theoutlet 10 b of thecompartment 10 containing thereactor 9, and thevalves compartment 10 containing thereactor 9 in communication with theenclosure 1 in order to reheat said enclosure, and at the same time, thevalves evaporator 13 in communication with the exterior in order to evacuate into the atmosphere the cold generated by said evaporator. - According to the invention, in order to be able to fine-tune the temperature in the enclosure when the exterior temperature oscillates around the setpoint temperature TC of the
enclosure 1, the valves are placed, as represented inFIG. 4 , in a position in which hot air and cold air are simultaneously sent into theenclosure 1. To do this, the reversingvalves intake valves outlet valves - Of course, any other mode of switching other than valves could be used according to the invention.
- Thus, as represented in
FIGS. 2 to 5 a, the regulation device according to the invention can be attached to the upper part of theenclosure 1. However, as represented inFIG. 5b , it can also be attached to the lower part thereof. Thehousing 22 is therefore either mounted upon or beneath theenclosure 1. - In another embodiment of the invention, the regulation device can also be disposed between two
enclosures enclosure 1′).
