Abstract

The present invention relates to a cooling device (1) comprising an air channel (6) which is prevented from being blocked by frosting.

Description

Description A COOLING DEVICE
[001] The present invention relates to a cooling device comprising an air channel which is prevented from being blocked due to frost formation.
[002] In state-of-the-art, there are cooling devices comprising two compartments, one being a freshfood and the other a freezer. In this type of cooling devices, some of the air cooled by being passed over the evaporator with the help of a fan, is circulated in the freezing compartment and the rest in the freshfood compartment. The air, after completing its circulation in the freshfood compartment, passes through an air channel and reaches the freezing compartment again.
[003] In especially low ambient temperatures, as the fan stops, the cold air in the evaporator chamber flows towards the air channel, and lowers the temperature here to below the freezing point of water. When the fan starts operating again, the relatively humid and hot air in the freshfood compartment starts to be directed towards the evaporator through the air channel. However, as hot air passes through the channel that becomes cold during the non-operation period of the evaporator, the humidity of air condenses and consequently freezes on the cold surfaces, and after a while, the amount of frost accumulated in the air channel increases. This in turn results in a reduction of the amount of air being carried from the freshfood compartment to the evaporator chamber, hence an insufficient cooling of the freshfood compartment.
[004] In the Unites States Patents nos. US3826103, and US5255536, and EP644385, cooling devices comprising heaters in the air channel are disclosed.
[005] The aim of the present invention is to design a cooling device wherein the frosting problem in the air channel is eliminated.
[006] The cooling device designed to fulfill the aim of the present invention is illustrated in the annexed drawings, where :
[007] Figure 1 - is the side schematic view of a cooling device.
[008] Figure 2 - is the side schematic view of another embodiment of the cooling device.
[009] Elements shown in the figures are numbered as follows:
1. Cooling device
2. Freezing compartment
3. Freshfood compartment
4. Compressor
5. Evaporator
6. Air channel
7. Anti-frost unit
8. Fan 9. Control unit
10. Evaporator chamber
11. Heater
[010] The cooling device (1) of the present invention comprises,
- a compressor (4) which compresses and circulates the refrigerant fluid in the cooling cycle,
- a freshfood compartment (3) in which the food is stored for cooling purposes,
- a freezing compartment (2) in which food is stored for freezing purposes, being kept at lower temperatures than those of the freshfood compartment (3),
at least one evaporator (5) for transferring heat from the medium to the refrigerant fluid, at least one air channel (6) for the passage of the air between the freshfood compartment (3) and the evaporator (5), and an anti-frost unit (7), which prevents the temperature of the air channel (6) from falling below the freezing temperature of water thus preventing the formation of frost in the air channel (6) when the ambient temperature (T) is under a certain value (Tset) during the off-period of the compressor (4) (Figure 1).
[011] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cooling device (1) comprises an evaporator chamber (10) in which the evaporator (5) is situated, separated from the freezing compartment (2) by a wall and connected to the freshfood compartment (3) by way of the air channel (6). [012] The cooling device (1) comprises a control unit (9) which gathers information on theambient temperature directly or indirectly.
[013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (9) comprises a heat sensor that measures the ambient temperature directly. When the temperature (T) falls below a certain value (Tset), for example 1-50C, the control unit (9) decides that there is a risk of frosting in the air channel (6).
[014] In another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (9) measures the off time (toff) and run time (ton) of the compressor (4), and when the run time ratio (ton/(ton+toff)), that is the quotient of the run time (ton) to the total time (ton+toff) falls below a certain value, for example 30 - 40 %, decides that the ambient temperature is so low to cause frosting in the air channel (6).
[015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-frost unit (7) comprises at least one fan (8) which is operated during the off period of the compressor (4), when the control unit (9) decides that the ambient temperature can cause frosting in the air channel (6), thus preventing the cold air in the evaporator chamber (10) from flowing into the air channel (6). This fan (8) may also provide air circulation while the compressor (4) is operating. The fan (8) can be operated at the same rotational speed both while the compressor (4) is on and off, or it can be operated at a lower speed after the compressor stops (4).
[016] If the ambient temperature is below a certain value (T<Tset), the anti-frost unit (7) is switched on after the compressor (4) stops. The anti-frost unit (7) actuates the fan (8) during the off period of the compressor (4), thus preventing the air in the freezing compartment (2) from flowing into the air channel (6) and causing the temperature of this channel to fall down. The fan (8) circulates the air from the freshfood compartment (3) to the air channel (6) and towards the evaporator (5) from there. In this way, when the compressor (4) and the fan (8) start operating together again, the moisture in the hot air coming from the freshfood compartment (3) is prevented from condensing and forming frost.
[017] In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the anti-frost unit (7) comprises a heater (11) which starts operating after the compressor (4) stops, on the condition that the control unit (9) has decided that the ambient temperature may cause frosting in the air channel (6). The heater (11) is positioned in the air channel (6). The heater (11) can be actuated either alone or together with the fan (8).
[018] When the ambient temperature (T) falls below a certain value (T<Tset), the anti- frost unit (7) starts operating after the compressor (4) stops, heating up the air channel (6) during the off period of the compressor (4), and hence preventing the air flowing from the evaporator chamber (10) to cool the air channel (6). In this manner, the temperature of the air channel (6) is prevented from falling under the freezing temperature of water, and the moisture of the hot air flowing from the freshfood compartment (3) is prevented from condensing and forming frosting when the compressor (4) and the fan (8) start operating together again.
[019] In the cooling device (1) of the present invention, the frosting in the air channel (6) in low ambient temperatures is prevented by operating either the fan (8) or the heater (11) during the off period of the compressor (4). Consequently the problem of blocking of the air channel (6) is solved.
