Definitions

  • This invention relates to improved constructions for use in the handling of two or more air curtains which are to be moved in side-by-side relationship. Specifically, the invention is directed to novel constructions which are designed to effect the character of the moving air curtains whereby they can be moved in a highly efficient manner.
  • nozzles extending across the bottom edge of the access opening to direct the Iair panels upwardly across the opening towards inlets which extend across the top side of the access opening.
  • the nozzles are located across the upper edge for projecting the air panels downwardly toward inlets arranged Iacross the bottom edge.
  • the air nozzles be located across one of the lateral edges of the opening for directing the corresponding air panels across the opening toward inlets in the opposite edge. Because of the more desirable effect of gravity on the higher density cold air, it has been found preferable to provide the air curtain with a downward movement from nozzles across the top to inlets across the bottom. llhe following description will refer to this preferred construction, although it will be understood that the concepts to be described are also applicable to other directions of ow.
  • Loss of refrigeration can be attributed to a substantial degree to turbulence which is set up between moving air streams and still air adjacent the moving air streams. Specifically, it has been found that the movement of a stream adjacent still air or adjacent a stream moving at a substantially different speed will create turbulence and will result in a whipping action.
  • the moving streams of air when characterized by such action, move out of their intended paths periodically, and large masses of the air can be completely lost insofar as the circulating streams are concerned. Where these masses are refrigerated, the natural result is to increase the load on the refrigerating means for the cabinet so that the loss of refrigeration can be accommodated.

  • FIGURE 8 is a fragmentary view of an alternative form of air passage means suitable for use in the construction of FIGURE 6.
  • the improvements of this invention are directed to constructions which employ air curtains moving in side-by-side relationship in an unconfined manner. These improvements are specifically directed to refrigerated enclosures of the type which define an access opening in one wall whereby communication with the space within the enclosure can be accomplished.
  • the enclosures or cabinets of this invention are provided With a plurality of nozzles arranged in side-by-side relationship across one edge of an access opening and corresponding -inlets are located across the opposite edge of the access opening.
  • the inner nozzles and inlets are provided for the passage of a refrigerated stream across the access opening while the adjacent outer nozzles and inlets circulate progressively warmer air panels.
  • the inner refrigerated stream is circulated through a passage having refrigeration coils located therein and one or more of the outer adjacent streams may also be refrigerated.
  • honeycomb material is preferably employed for the construction of these nozzles since this material is available in a form which is suitable for the purposes of this invention. Thus, this material is characterized by a plurality of small passages aligned in parallel relationship and the material is also adapted to be provided in a greater number of shapes and sizes. It will be understood, however, that the provision of other constructions which have the same characteristics as honeycomb materials is contemplated for use in accordance with this invention.
  • the nozzles employed in the cabinets of this invention are designed whereby they will affectl the rate of movement of the streams of air which pass out of the nozzles for movement across the access opening of the cabinet.
  • the nozzles are designed whereby the outer portions of the streams which contact the ambient air, or which contact slower moving air streams, are passed across the opening at a relatively low speed to effect the desired decrease in turbulence.
  • the nozzle constructions are also capable of affecting the speed of the air streams whereby approximately the same rate of movement at the interface of adjacent panels can be maintained.
  • This ⁇ capability of the nozzle constructions serves to maintain a high degree of laminar ow in the air streams which also results in a more uniform temperature condition in the adjacent streams. This condition has also been recognized as a means for increasing the efficiency of operation.
  • FIGURE l a refrigerated cabinet having nozzle means characterized by the features of this invention.
  • the cabinet 10 includes a top wall 12, a bottom wall 14, a back wall 16 and a front wall 18.
  • the front wall 18 defines an opening 20 which provides access to the interior 22 of the refrigerated cabinet.
  • An inner wallv 24 defines the extent of the refrigerated space.
  • a partition 26 is formed to define an inner passage 28 and an outer passage 30 in the construction.
  • the inner passage 28 carries a -refrigerating means 32 and a circulating fan 34 provides for movement Yof air past the refrigerating means and through the passage 28.
  • a similar circulating fan 36 is provided for the outer passage 30.
  • Inlets 38 are provided for eachof the passages 28 and 3f).
  • the streams 40 and 32 which cross the access opening pass into these inlets and are driven through the passages to outlet nozzles 44 and 46.
  • Screens may be included over the inlets 38 to prevent entry of insects or other foreign material into the passages.
  • the nozzle lconstruction 46 provided for the inner passage 28 comprises a honeycomb section having a plurality of aligned passages extending parallel to the walls which dene the passage 28 beyond the corner 48.
  • the edges 50 of the nozzles begins at a point below the wall 52 which defines the lower extent of the pas'- sage 28.
  • the stream of air in the passage 28 will be preferentially directed to the outer passages of the nozzle 46 by reason of this arrangement. It has been found that the inner portions of the stream 42 which contact the relatively still air within the cabinet move more slowly than the outer portions of this stream. This arrangement tends to reduce the possibility of turbulence between this inner stream and the air within the cabinet.
  • the nozzle for the outer stream is formed in two sections 54 and 56.
  • the upper section 54 comprises a generally triangular member having the hypotenuse thereof extending on a line between the edges 58 and 60 which define the corners in the passage 30.
  • the base of the upper section 54 is in a horizontal position; and, therefore, the passages in the section 54 are at an acute angle with respect to the side walls which define the passage 30.
  • the lower section 56 comprises a plurality of passages which are aligned in a parallel relationship with respect to the side walls. It will be appreciated that .streams of air passing through the section 54 will be preferentially directed toward the inner passages in the section 56. With this arrangement, a lower speed is achieved in those portions of the air issuing from the outer passages and, accordingly, a decrease in turbulence with respect to the ambient air can be realized.
  • two sections 62 and 64 are also provided for forming the nozzle of the outer stream.
  • the passages in the honeycomb sections are all arranged in a parallel relationship; however, slower movement in the outer portions of the outer stream is achieved because of the curvilinear character of the section 62. The more pronounced curvature which characterizes this section at the inner portions thereof causes this section to pick up greater amounts of air in these inner portions. A slower movement then results with respect to outer portions of the stream and, again, a reduction in turbulence can be achieved.
  • the outer stream must pass through a nozzle 66 which is substantially larger than the nozzle 46.
  • the longer passages in the nozzle i66 result in a greater drag on the air passing therethrough.
  • the speed of the outer stream will tend to be slower than the speed of the adjacent inner stream.
  • the angular disposition of the top edge 68 of the nozzle 66 provides for longer nozzle passages for carrying the outer portions of the stream 40 while the inner passages of the nozzle become progressively smaller.
  • the outer portions of the air stream 40 are, therefore, subjected to a greater drag and, accordingly, these outer portions will have a lesser tendency to create turbulence.
  • louver means 70 which is situated in the passage 30 in advance of nozzle 72.
  • each of the elements 74 which define the louver means is directed at an angle whereby air in the passage will be forced inwardly with respect to the cabinet enclosure.
  • Each of these elements 74 extends the entire length of the cabinet whereby the channels defined between the elements will also extend across the cabinet. It is contemplated that reenforcing means can be provided at one or more intermediate points between the adjacent elements to provide a substantially rigid structure.
  • the louvered arrangement illustrated acts to direct air in the passage 30 toward the inner side of the honeycomb. This has the effect of reducing the rate of movement of the air in the outer portion which is exposed to the ambient air.
  • the arrangement shown in FIGURE 6 comprises a combination of screen elements 76 and means 78 which denes openings 80 for passage of air to nozzle 82. As in the previous cases, the arrangement for effecting the characteristics ofthe air is provided in the passage 30.
  • FIGURE 7 A plan view of the means 78 shown in FIGURE 6 is illustrated in FIGURE 7. As shown therein, a plurality of slats 84 are provided in spaced apart relationship whereby the openings 80 will be defined therebetween. It will be noted that the openings become progressively larger as they occur from the outer portion of the means 78 to the inner portion thereof. This arrangement also has the effect of directing a major portion of the air at the inner side of the passage 30 while lesser portions thereof pass in the portion of the outer stream adjacent the ambient air.
  • FIGURE 8 illustrates a proposed modification 78' wherein progressively larger openings 80' approximately correspond in function to the openings 80. It will be apparent that this arrangement will affect the air stream in substantially the same manner as described above.
  • the screen 76 which may be conventional window screen, has been found to be a desirable addition since it has the effect of breaking up the air so that it will not pass through the outlet nozzles in the form of jets. This results in a smoother gradient of air speed across a given panel as will be discussed with reference to FIGURE 2.
  • FIGURE 2 illustrates diagrammatically the results which can be achieved with the nozzle constructions of this invention.
  • the horizontal axis corresponds to the width of the nozzles employed in the construction.
  • the X designations on the diagram are employed to plot the speed of the stream across lits width. It will be noted that a relatively slow air velocity is achieved in the outer 'portions of the stream while a relatively high air velocity is achieved in the inner portions.
  • the circles plotted along with the X on the diagram illustrate the findings with the upper section 54 removed. As noted, the outer portions of the stream actually move at a higher rate than the inner portions. The greater possibility of turbulence with this arrangement will be obvious.
  • the right-hand section of the diagram illustrates the affect of the nozzles 46 on the speed of the refrigerated streams. As noted, the lowest speed is achieved in the innermost portions of the stream and, therefore, a decrease in turbulence in this region can be accomplished.
  • outer nozzles are concerned, it will be understood that these nozzles are to be employed in any position where. the streams passing therethrough will contact other air having a substantially lower rate of movement; or in the case of ambient air, having substantially no movement.
  • the nozzle yconstructions may be utilized in cabinets of the type described by Beckwith et al., 4in application Serial No. 247,245, filed December 26, 1962, and entitled Refrigerated Cabinet With Circulating' Air Panels. In this construction, an outer stream which was not powered by any mechanical circulating means was included.
