Definitions
- the present invention relates to a temperature control for sorption systems. Description of the Related Art
- a sorption system is a device that raises heat from a lower temperature level to a higher temperature level by vaporizing a working fluid in an evaporator and sorbing it in a sorbent container that contains a sorbent.
- the evaporator and the sorbent container are connected to one another by a steam channel. The evaporation of the liquid working medium to a vapor working medium in the evaporator requires heat. If not enough heat flows in, the evaporator cools down.
- a sorption system is as a sorption cooling system.
- the flow of the working fluid vapor through the steam channel must be regulated by means of a valve.
- the evaporator is housed in an insulated transport box while the sorbent container located outside the transport box can dissipate its sorption heat to the environment.
- Sorption cooling systems are increasingly being used for shipping temperature-sensitive goods, including medicines.
- the temperature of the transported goods must be in a very narrow temperature range, e.g. +2 to + 8 °C.
- the ambient temperatures occurring during transport can naturally fluctuate rapidly and strongly.
- the vaccine storage space temperature may only fluctuate between + 2 °C and + 8 °C.
- the external temperatures can be between -25 °C and + 43 °C.
- the transport time can be more than 6 days.
- the power consumption of the temperature control must be minimized over long transport times and preferably also during the previous storage times.
- Figure 1 is a schematic drawing of a sorption system in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a schematic cross sectional view of a valve for use with the sorption system of Figure 1 showing the valve in a closed position.
- Figure 3 is a schematic cross sectional view of a temperature controller docked with the valve of Figure 2, showing the valve in the closed position.
- Figure 4 is a schematic cross sectional view of a temperature controller docked with the valve of Figure 2, showing the valve in the opened position.
- the temperature controller of the present invention preferably provides a reusable temperature control for sorption systems that work in a vacuum.
- the temperature controller can actuate a valve that is located in a separate vacuum system.
- the pre-selectable evaporation temperature of the sorption system should be adhered to.
- the temperature controller should be reusable.
- the temperature controller should be removable from the sorption systems with which used without use of tools and be just as easy to reconnect to a fresh sorption system without the use of tools.
- a sorption system 1000 using a battery-operated temperature controller 1120 in accordance with the present invention is shown in Figure 1.
- the sorption system 1000 includes an evaporator 1001 in which a liquid working medium is absorbed in a fleece (not shown).
- the evaporator 1001 has a flexible, vacuum-tight outer shell 1028 made of an upper flexible film 1030 and a lower flexible film 1032, which are sealed in a gas-tight manner at their adjoining seams by known sealing methods.
- the fleece is divided into four sections.
- the evaporator 1001 can be bent at contact lines 1004 of the sub-areas of the evaporator in order for it to be inserted precisely into an insulated transport box or payload compartment (not shown).
- An electrical heating circuit 1007 may be inserted into the interior of the insulated transport box.
- the heating circuit 1007 is used to heat the interior of the insulated transport box when the ambient temperature within the box is below a required control temperature.
- a temperature sensor 1129 senses the temperature of the evaporator 1001 surface and/or the air adjacent to the evaporator surface indicative of the evaporator surface temperature, and generates a temperature signal, and reports the temperature to the temperature controller 1120 via a communication channel 1006, which may be a wire or a wireless signal.
- the temperature controller 1120 takes over the control and regulation of the heating circuit 1007.
- the temperature sensor may or may not form a portion of the temperature controller.
- the evaporator 1001 is connected to a sorbent container 1002 via a steam flow channel 1003.
- Working medium steam can flow through the steam flow channel 1003 to the sorbent container 1002, provided that an intermediate valve 1010 (shown in Figure 2) is kept open by the temperature controller 1120.
- a granulated sorbent 1005 in the sorbent container 1002 may sorb the working medium vapor flowing in.
- the sorbent 1005 may contain, for example, zeolite, which stores the working medium vapor in its lattice structure. During sorption heat is released.
- the temperature controller 1120 operates the valve 1010 that is located in the steam flow channel 1003 in response to the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 1129.
- valve 1010 is arranged between the evaporator 1001 and the sorbent container 1002.
- the valve 1010 and temperature controller 1120 are shown in greater detail in Figures 3 and 4.
- the temperature controller 1120 is shown removably docked to the valve 1010 using suitable contact surfaces 1121 and 1122 of the temperature controller.
- the lower contact surfaces 1122 can be designed to be foldable or displaceable relative to the upper contact surfaces 1121 to securely but removably, attach the temperature controller 1120 to the valve 1010 and hence the flow channel 1003 of the sorption system 1000. While securely attached by the contact surfaces 1121 and 1122, the temperature controller 1120 is easily detachable from the valve 1010. This permits the selective separation of the temperature controller 1120 from the remainder of the sorption system 1000 and the reuse with the valve 1010 of a different sorption system unit.
- FIG. 1 shows the valve 1010 with the temperature controller 1120 removed.
- the valve 1010 and the other portions of the sorption system 1000, other than the temperature controller 1120, are usually disposed of as a single-use product after being used or are reprocessed elsewhere, while the temperature controller 1120 may be reused several times with different units of the sorption systems.
- FIG. 3 shows the valve 1010 in a closed position with the temperature controller 1120 docked to the valve for use.
- the temperature controller 1120 includes an inflatable air bladder or pouch 1123, an air compressor 1124 operated by a motor 1130, an air outlet valve 1125 and an electrical control unit 1126, interconnected by an air line system 1132.
- the control unit 1126 optionally includes a pressure sensor 1127, the temperature sensor 1129, and a signal unit 1128.
- the control unit 1126 works with the temperature sensor 1129 to control the inflatable pouch 1123.
- Two exchangeable, electrical batteries 1140 are provided to power the temperature controller 1120.
- the control unit 1126 includes a microcontroller mounted on an electronic circuit board, operatively connected to the temperature sensor 1129 and the air compressor 1124, and configured to read the temperature signal of the temperature sensor.
- the valve 1010 regulates the working medium vapor flow from the evaporator 1001 to the sorbent container 1002 (see Figure 1 ). By opening or closing the valve 1010, the cooling power of the sorption system 1000 is controlled and thus regulates the evaporation temperature.
- the inflatable pouch 1123 is used to actuate the valve 1010, which is located outside of the temperature controller 1120 and in the flow channel 1003 of the sorption system 1000, and in a separate vacuum system.
- the temperature controller 1120 is reusable with sorption systems that work in a vacuum.
- the temperature controller 1120 can precisely adhere to a pre-selected evaporation temperature of the sorption system 1000.
- the flow channel 1003 is formed by overlapping, gas-permeable upper and lower spacer grids 1020 and 1022, respectively.
- the upper and lower spacer grids 1020 and 1022 are enclosed in a gas-tight manner by the upper flexible film 1030 and the lower flexible film 1032 of the vacuum-tight outer shell 1028.
- the upper and lower flexible films 1030 and 1032 are pressed onto the upper and lower spacer grids 1020 and 1022, respectively, by external air pressure.
- the vapor of the gaseous working medium flows through the flow-open spacer grids 1020 and 1022.
- the valve 1010 includes a mushroom-shaped sealing element 1040 having circular sealing plate 1050 connected to an upwardly extending plunger 1060 with a upper end portion 1061.
- the sealing plate 1050 has a circumferentially extending and upwardly projecting seal portion 1062 that is pressed into sealing engagement with a lower side of a flat silicone seal 1070 when the valve is in the closed position as shown in Figure 3. It is noted that the seal 1070 may be made from suitable materials other than silicone.
- the silicone seal 1070 has a flow opening 1072 through which the plunger 1060 upwardly extends.
- the upper side of the silicone seal 1070 is in turn pressed onto a middle flexible film 1080, which contains a flow opening 1090 aligned with the opening 1072 of the silicone seal 1070, and through which the plunger 1060 upwardly extends.
- the upper spacer grid 1020 also has a flow opening 1021 aligned with the opening 1072 of the silicone seal 1070 and the opening 1090 of the middle flexible film 1080, and through which the plunger 1060 extends.
- the outer perimeter portion of the middle flexible film 1080 is sealed with the upper flexible film 1030 in such a way that the flow openings 1072 and 1090 provide the only flow path for the working medium vapor to reach the upper spacer grid 1020.
- a plastic support plate 1100 which is also perforated, is positioned above the middle flexible film 1080 and coplanar with the silicone seal 1070 and middle flexible film 1080, and has a flow opening 1102 aligned with the opening 1072 of the silicone seal 1070 and the opening 1090 of the middle flexible film 1080, and through which the plunger 1060 extends.
- Another plastic support plate 1110 is positioned above and coplanar with the upper spacer grid and has an opening 1112 aligned with the opening 1072 of the silicone seal 1070, the opening 1090 of the middle flexible film 1080, the opening 1102 of the support plate 1100, and the opening 1021 of the upper spacer grid 1020, and through which the plunger 1060 extends.
- the opening 1112 of the plastic support plate 1110 is of a reduced size compared to openings 1072, 1090 and 1102 to facilitate guiding of the plunger 1060 as it moves up and down during operation.
- the lower flexible film 1032 is positioned below the bottom of the sealing plate 1050. As such, when under a vacuum within the steam flow channel 1003, the lower flexible film 1032 presses upward on the sealing plate.
- the upper flexible film 1030 on the other hand under such a vacuum, presses downward on the mushroom-shaped upper end portion 1061 of the plunger 1060.
- the closing force that acts between the silicone seal 1070 and the seal portion 1062 of the sealing plate 1050 is thus proportional to the difference between the respective areas of the sealing plate 1050 and the upper end portion 1061 of the plunger 1060.
- the effective closing force on the sealing element 1040 may therefore be designed by choosing the geometry of these two portions of the plunger 1060.
- the valve 1010 is designed to normally be in the closed position as shown in Figure 3.
- the upper end portion 1061 of the plunger 1060 is pushed downward sufficient to move the seal portion 1062 of the sealing plate 1050 downward to a position below and spaced away from the silicone seal and hence out of sealing engagement with the silicone seal 1070.
- the valve 1010 is therefore always closed when no additional downward force acts on the upper end portion 1061 of the plunger 1060. A force is therefore only required when operating the sorption system 1000.
- a separate locking of the valve 1010 is not necessary to keep the valve 1010 closed. The locking is maintained by the pressure difference between the vacuum within the steam flow channel 1003 and the external ambient air pressure.
- the inflatable air pouch 1123 is positioned between a stationary interior upper wall of the temperature controller 1120 and a moveable pressure plate 1131.
- the pressure plate 1131 is a rigid plate.
- the air pressure supplied by the air compressor 1124 via the line system inflates the air pouch 1123, causing the air pouch to expand and press downward on the moveable pressure plate 1131 , which moves the pressure plate downward into downward driving engagement with the upper end portion 1061 of the plunger 1060.
- the pressure plate 1131 is preferably a torsion-resistant, glass fiber reinforced plate having a relatively large area such that to move the plunger 1060 sufficiently downward to open the valve 1010, the air pressure in the line system 1132 may be kept at less than 300 hPa. A pressure of approximately 250 hPa and an effective plate area of only 20 cm 2 results in a force of about 50 N.
- valve plate 1050 Since the valve 1010 is fixed in position relative to the temperature controller 1120 by the contact surfaces 1121 and 1122, and cannot evade the pressure, the valve plate 1050 is moved downward and separates from the silicone seal 1070 sufficiently to be out of sealing engagement with the silicone seal and presses the flexible upper flexible film 1030 located above the mushroom-shaped upper end portion 1061 of the plunger 1060 downward, overcoming the upward force being applied to the sealing plate 1050 of the sealing element 1040 of the valve 1010 by the external ambient air pressure. This opens the steam flow channel 1003 and provides a vapor channel indicated by the arrows 1133 in Figure 4, permitting vapor to flow along the vapor channel from the evaporator 1001 to the sorbent container 1002.
- the air outlet valve 1125 opens and pressurized air within the pouch 1123 may flow out of the pouch, thus allowing the pouch to contract and remove the downward force being applied to the upper end portion 1061 of the plunger 1060, and allowing the sealing element 1040 to move upward and the valve 1010 to return to the normally closed position shown in Figure 3.
- the inflatable pouch 1123 acts on the sealing element 1040, which is under vacuum.
- the flexible and inflatable pouch 1123 can exert its force effect even with poorly coordinated contact points.
- the temperature controller 1120 can easily be docked on the valve 1010 or dedocked.
- the control unit 1126 is an electronic controller with logic and circuitry configured to receive data from one or more signal units, such as temperature sensors or pressure sensors, and to output signals to one or more display units, lights such as LEDs, electrical heating circuits, and operable components, such as motor, air compressors, or valves. Preferably, the control unit 1126 activates the electrical heating circuit when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 1129 falls below a preselected temperature. At least one battery may further be included for powering the temperature controller 1120 and the display units, preferably with the control unit indicating the state of the at least one battery using the display.
- the control unit 1126 can optionally includes memory for data storage and retrieval, with the microcontroller operatively connected to the memory.
- the memory can be integrated into the control unit 1126 or separate from the control unit 1126.
- the memory can be, for example, flash memory or random-access memory.
- the control unit is powered by an energy source, such as the batteries 1140.
- a temperature field or preset temperature setpoint can be stored in the control unit 1126, preferably in the memory, with which the temperature just measured at the temperature sensor 1129 is compared. If the measured value is above the temperature setpoint, the pouch 1123 will inflate; if the measured value is below the temperature setpoint, the air outlet valve 1125 will be opened. If, on the other hand, the measured value lies within the temperature setpoint, neither the air compressor 1124 nor the air outlet valve 1125 is addressed.
- the temperature setpoint can advantageously be set such that it allows the temperatures on the surface of the evaporator 1001 to fluctuate 1 degree Kelvin, between 5.5 °C and 6.5 °C, for example.
- control unit 1126 controls the state of inflation of the inflatable member to regulate the evaporation temperature in the evaporator 1001 to maintain the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 1129 at plus or minus 1 degree Kelvin of the preselected temperature.
- the interior temperature of the insulated transport box within which the evaporator 1001 is housed is then always within the required temperature range of +2 to + 8 °C.
- the control unit 1126 is powered by the batteries 1140.
- the state of charge of the batteries can be displayed via the signal unit 1128 at the time the sorption system 1000 is put into operation and/or during the operating time. In particular, when starting the sorption process, the user can check the state of charge and replace the batteries 1140, if necessary.
- the current interior temperature can also be displayed during transport by means of coded flashing.
- the signal unit 1128 may be a light that flashes or it may be a display screen.
- the control unit 1126 can not only control the air compressor 1124 and the air outlet valve 1125, but can also regulate the separate heating circuit 1007. If the temperature at the temperature sensor 1129 falls below a preset value, the electrical heating circuit 1007 is activated and the interior of the transport box is heated. This is particularly useful if, with very cold outside temperatures, the inside temperature would also drop below the required lower temperature limit of, for example, + 2 °C.
- control unit 1126 can also store the values measured by the temperature sensor 1129 during operation for later use.
- An electronic data memory integrated on the control unit 1126 can then output the values when the transport history is evaluated.
- the pressure in the pouch 1123 can advantageously also be released manually.
- the circuit to the air outlet valve 1125 can be opened manually using a button 1134. This may be important if, before the temperature controller 1120 is docked with a new sorption system, there is still pressure in the line system 1132 from the previous transport. Sufficient residual pressure may prevent the temperature controller 1120 from being pushed over the protruding plunger 1060.
- the pressure sensor 1127 of the control unit 1126 measures the pressure in the air line system 1132.
- the pressure sensor 1127 makes it possible to readjust the pressure in the inflatable pouch 1123 even with slightly leaky lines or components.
- the air compressor 1124 then needs only run for a few moments until the pressure is built up again.
- the pressure sensor 1127 can also be used to open and close the valve 1010 in smaller step sequences.
- the valve 1010 can then function as a control valve and not be limited to only the states of being completely open and completely closed.
- the operating times of the compressor 1124 and the outlet valve 1125 can then be reduced considerably. This is particularly valuable if the temperature controller 1120 is intended for mobile use and the energy supply via batteries 1140 is limited.
- the pressure sensor 1127 is preferably positioned to measure the air pressure in at least one of the pneumatic conduits and generate a pressure signal
- the control unit’s microcontroller is operatively connected to the pressure sensor and configured to read the pressure signal of the pressure sensor, and when the air compressor 1124 is inflating the inflatable pouch 1123, if the pressure signal indicates the pressure in the at least one pneumatic conduit reaches a first stored pressure setpoint the microcontroller terminates inflation of the inflatable pouch by the air compressor, and when the air outlet valve is deflating the inflatable pouch, if the pressure signal indicates a pressure in the at least one pneumatic conduit reaches a second stored pressure setpoint the microcontroller terminates deflation of the inflatable pouch by the air outlet valve 1125.
- the control unit 1126 causes inflation of the inflatable member to the first inflation state to open the valve 1010, and when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is below the stored temperature setpoint, the control unit causes deflation of the inflatable member to the second inflation state to close the valve 1010.
- any two components herein combined to achieve a particular functionality can be seen as “associated with” each other such that the desired functionality is achieved, irrespective of architectures or intermedial components.
- any two components so associated can also be viewed as being “operably connected,” or “operably coupled,” to each other to achieve the desired functionality.
