2 Claims. (01. 62-92) The present invention refers to refrigeration as in accordance with the instant invention the and more specifically to temperature control. opening of the valve H is as described above. The invention is illustrated in the accompany- In this invention such a valve H is applied in ing drawing, and is applied to the specific task a new manner. Instead of feeding liquid refrigof maintaining the temperature of a walled space erant into the evaporator it is used to blow of! constant at a predetermined level. refrigerant vapor which leaves the evaporator 3. The invention makes it possible to control the Instead of operating the valve by the difference storage temperature in portable, heat-insulated, between th temperature of the liquid refrigerso-called containers, as used for railway and ant 5 in'the evaporator and superheated'refrigtruck shipments of less than carload size. Such erant vapor e alvell is in this case actuated containers do not allow much dead weight for by the difference between the temp e of t e the insulation of refrigeration equipment. It has liquid refrigerant 5 and the temperature of the not been possible to equip them with the powerair in the storage space I. This difference is a driven complete condensing unit and evaporator. matter of those degrees which are required as TD Dry Ice, brine hold over tanks or eutectic ice have (TD is the standard expressi n f r T mp r ure been the only practical means for cooling such Difference) as general temperature difference less-than-carload containers. Each of these for practising heat exchange throu a Wall means has t di5advantage which in this case is the wall of the container 3. The invention allows a temperature control as However, a rather wide range can be effective for exact as the one perfected in complete condens- 2o actuating valve H with this TD, depending on the ing units; yet no powered condensing it i location of the bulb l5 within the storage space quired in connection with the invention.

This thermal valve II with its thermal bulb the p ator 3 and the liquid in bulb l5 hav- I5 and capillary connection 14 is shown in deing the Same temperature and Compensating tail and in vertical cross-section in Fig. their pressures. An important step of the instandard valve in which the vention, therefore, is to cool down the refrigerbulb l5 acts on the upperside of ant 5 to a temperature which is lower than l8, while the other side of the diathe pr r n d f t re room temperature phragm is subjected to the combined pressures which shall be maintained. To give an example, of the refrigerant in conduit l2 and a spring if the room temperature shall b maintained at H. If the pressure of the bulb is stronger than 20 F., and if conditions require a TD of 10 F, those combined two pressures, the valve stem [6 for the heat exchange, the refrigerant 5 must be from the valve seat S and refrigerprecooled down to 10 F. to make the apparatus ant can pass from conduit l2 into conduit l3. operative. Cooling down the entire mass of the Opening of the valve II is in standard evaporator refrigerant 5 may be effected by various known temperature control effected by exposing the ways: For instance, the container 3 may be rebulb l5 to the temperature of superheated refrigfrigerated by independent refrigeration means erant a or which leaves the evaporator, wherebefore or while being installed in the storage space Or, valve 6 and conduit 9 may be opened the air within said storage space to said liquid reto blow off refrigerant until the mass of the refrigerant, controlling the release of said refrigerfrigerant 5 is cooled down.
