Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cooling device, in particular a freezer, with a cooling circuit, the cooling circuit having a compressor, at least one evaporator and a condenser, and a closable cooling space with a plurality of cooling space side walls, a cooling space floor, at least one cooling element and an insulating container, wherein the evaporator and the cooling element are arranged within the cooling space in such a way that a first side of the cooling element at least partially abuts the evaporator and a second side of the cooling element faces the insulating container, and the insulating container is closed at least towards the at least one cooling element and forms a cooling goods space ,
- Such cooling devices are usually used in remote areas, particularly in developing countries, in which a stable and safe and continuous energy supply, for example via a power grid, cannot be guaranteed. Nonetheless, especially in these areas, in which extreme climatic conditions also predominate, an uninterrupted cold chain for food and in particular medical products, such as vaccines or blood supplies, is essential. In particular, the handling and storage of the latter products within the framework of the manufacturer's requirements to maintain the usability and effectiveness of the products is often difficult, which is one of the reasons for the extremely poor living conditions of the people living there and, among other things, contributes significantly to high death rates.
- the World Health Organization has therefore drawn up a catalog with minimum criteria that must be met by the refrigeration equipment used for the transport and storage of medical products.
- Isolation boxes with ice packs or freeze packs have been established for transport over short distances, by means of which the necessary cooling of the stored substances can be ensured, at least during short-term transport.
- the cooling temperature in particular for various vaccines, must not be more than plus 8 degrees Celsius and not less than plus 2 degrees Celsius. Adequate cooling of at least three days must also be ensured in the event of a power failure.
- Electrical cooling devices with or without cooling elements or battery-operated cooling elements are therefore particularly suitable. It turned out to be practicable to generate the energy required for operation photovoltaically, since the solar radiation in most developing countries is sufficiently high throughout the year.
- the cooling devices known in the prior art have, in addition to a cooling room for the products to be stored, a freezer room for producing the ice packs or freeze packs ,
- the cooling room and the freezer room are cooled by separate cooling circuits.
- the cold room or other cold rooms serve to store the medical products and the freezer room to generate sufficient ice to bridge the lack of energy.
- So-called SDD cooling devices solar direct drives
- auxiliary batteries supply the cooling devices with energy as a buffer at night and during sunless days.
- the energy is usually used to operate an internal fan, which brings "cold” from an ice store into the refrigerated goods space during the de-energized period, or to operate a heater that prevents the temperature from falling below the minimum temperature.
- the publication WO 2013/091913 A1 describes a cooling device.
- the cooling device comprises at least one cooling circuit, the cooling circuit having a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser, and a closable cooling space with a plurality of cooling space side walls, a cooling space floor and a cooling space, and at least one cooling element.
- the evaporator and the cooling element are arranged within the cooling space in such a way that the back of the cooling element lies against the evaporator and the front faces the cooling goods space.
- the publication US 2013/0340467 A1 describes a passive cool box.
- Inner side walls of the cool box include receiving areas which are provided for receiving cold packs.
- the publication GB 2 383 403 A describes an insulated box.
- a heating panel which is connected to a control circuit, is arranged on an inner side wall of the insulating box.
- the cooling device according to the invention is distinguished from the cooling devices known from the prior art in that the first side of the cooling element, which bears against the at least one evaporator, has at least one recess into which at least one removable cold store can be inserted, and furthermore that the insulating container is preferably in the Region of its downward-facing end has at least one heating element and at least one storage element.
- Suitable cooling elements and / or removable cold stores are those elements which, once cooled, can absorb a large amount of energy without significantly increasing one's own temperature.
- the design of the cooling element described has the advantage that the removable cold stores necessary for the transport of medical products are cooled and then stored within the cooling space until the contents freeze, in which the cooling elements are also cooled, which in the event of a power supply failure, the refrigerated goods space cool inside the cooling device and the products stored in it. Since the at least one recess into which the at least one removable cold storage device can be inserted is arranged on the first side of the cooling element that is adjacent to the at least one evaporator, the at least one removable cold storage device can also lie directly over the extensive area of the at least one evaporator, thereby ensuring a good energy flow of the at least one removable cold store on the at least one evaporator.
- the refrigerated goods space can be uniformly temperature-controlled with the at least one heating element and the at least one storage element, which is preferably provided in the region of the downward-facing end of the insulating container, since the heat generated there from bottom to top in the refrigerated goods space can rise. In this way it can be ensured that a temperature in the required range of preferably + 2 ° to + 8 ° Celsius is always present in the interior of the refrigerated goods space, in particular when the content of the at least one cold store is frozen and an additional cold flow is applied to the Refrigerated goods exercise.
- the cooling device thus creates a compact and simple construction with an expanded storage capacity and small dimensions, which with a single cooling circuit both freezes and stores the removable cold stores but also stores sensitive refrigerated goods, for example vaccines, within the required temperature limits in the refrigerated goods room guaranteed. Since, in addition, the at least one storage element, in particular, avoids excessive cooling of the refrigerated goods space during the no-energy period, auxiliary batteries for operating a heater can also be dispensed with. This in turn increases the operational safety of the cooling device and solves the disposal problem of the auxiliary batteries.
- the area inside the cooling space and outside the cooling goods space forms a freezing zone and the cooling goods room forms a cooling zone in which a cooling goods to be cooled can be stored.
- the insulating container and the at least one heating element and / or the at least one storage element protect it from excessive cooling.
- a freezer zone is understood to mean an area in which the temperature is clearly below the freezing point as long as the cooling device is supplied with energy.
- the cooling zone corresponds to the refrigerated goods space in which there is an optimum temperature required for storing the refrigerated goods within the cooling device.
- the design of the cooling room as a freezer zone has the advantage that the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold storage device arranged there on the evaporator can be cooled very strongly and directly as long as energy is available for the cooling device. Subsequently, during the energy-free period, the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold storage device can cool the refrigerated goods space the longer, the more the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold storage device has previously been cooled.
- the temperature in the refrigerated goods space can advantageously be controlled by a cooperation of at least the insulating container and the at least one heating element and / or the at least one storage element, preferably in the range of a defined minimum temperature.
- the at least one heating element can preferably be operated electrically and can have a regulation. This ensures that the required minimum temperature in the refrigerated goods room is not exceeded. Since the operation of a cooling device according to the invention takes place above all in developing countries, an electrically operated heating element is appropriate, since the heating element and the cooling device can also be operated there as an alternative to mains electricity by means of alternative energy sources, for example photovoltaic or with wind power.
- the at least one storage element is preferably designed as a latent heat store, which is designed such that it releases the stored thermal energy into the refrigerated goods space when the required minimum temperature is undershot. This ensures that the required minimum temperature in the refrigerated goods room is not exceeded becomes.
- the latent heat store according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that it is filled with a phase change material which changes from a liquid to a crystalline state at a material-specific temperature and thereby releases heat of crystallization.
- the latent heat storage device can be designed in such a way that the phase change material in it crystallizes when the temperature falls below the required minimum temperature and thereby releases heat of crystallization into the refrigerated goods room.
- the at least one storage element can prevent the temperature from falling below the required minimum temperature even during an energy-free period.
- Another advantage of using a latent heat store is that the crystallization of the phase change material is reversible. This means that by adding energy, the crystals formed during cooling can be dissolved and the latent heat storage device can be returned to its original state.
- the latent heat accumulator can be charged by the at least one heating element, preferably arranged below the at least one latent heat accumulator. Since the temperature of the latent heat store does not increase significantly during the melting of the phase change material, the use of a latent heat store also avoids excessive heat input into the refrigerated goods space during operation of the at least one heating element.
- the refrigerated goods are stored in the refrigerated goods room in a storage device, preferably in the form of a mesh basket.
- the storage device prevents direct contact of the refrigerated goods with the insulating container and with the at least one heating element and the at least one storage element.
- the removal of the refrigerated goods is made easier. Since the insulated container separates the cooling zone from the freezer zone, temperatures in the refrigerated goods space on the surface of the insulated container can be locally below the required minimum temperature due to the energy flow through the insulated container.
- the use of the storage device preferably in the form of a grid basket for storing the goods to be cooled, prevents direct contact of the goods to be cooled with the insulating container and the associated drop below the required minimum temperature in the goods to be cooled. Contact of the goods to be cooled with the at least one heating element and at least one storage element is also effectively avoided, since local heating of the at least one heating element and at least one storage element can lead to the goods to be heated up too much on contact.
- the use of the storage device for storing the refrigerated goods in the refrigerated goods room supports a uniform temperature control of the refrigerated goods.
- the items to be cooled are expediently formed by at least one heating element and / or the at least one storage element
- Spacer grids that can be used within the refrigerated goods room are stored at a distance.
- Such an arrangement ensures that the refrigerated goods have no direct contact with the at least one heating element and / or with the at least one storage element. This not only avoids local overheating of the refrigerated goods, but also achieves an even distribution of heat in the refrigerated goods room if it is cooled too much by the freezer zone.
- the provision of a spacer grid according to the invention prevents the unauthorized removal of the at least one heating element and / or the at least one storage element. This avoids incorrect operation, for example confusing the at least one heating element and / or the at least one storage element with a removable cold storage device and consequently prevents the temperature in the refrigerated goods room from falling below the required minimum temperature.
- the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold storage device can be filled with a substance, preferably a liquid such as water or a eutectic medium.
- a substance preferably a liquid such as water or a eutectic medium.
- the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold storage device can be designed to be emptied and refillable via a reclosable opening.
- the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold storage device is preferably designed as a hollow body.
- the opening can be resealed, it is therefore not necessary to fill the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold store at the factory. This can be done at any time on site, for example with water. In this way, the transport weight of the cooling device can advantageously be considerably reduced during transport to the place of use of the cooling device.
- the use of water as a cooling liquid also has the advantage that water is usually also available in remote areas in developing countries.
- water has good cold storage properties, in particular because the specific melting enthalpy of water is a multiple of the specific heat capacity and can therefore cool the refrigerated goods inside the cooling device for a long time through its melting, even if no energy is available to operate the cooling device Available.
- a eutectic medium can be produced which has a significantly lower freezing point than pure water. This is of particular interest if the desired minimum temperature in the refrigerated goods room is to be below zero degrees Celsius.
- the volume of the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold accumulator selected in such a way that after filling the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold store with the predefined amount of the substance, a dead volume serving as an expansion space for the freezing substance necessarily results.
- the filling of the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold storage device if the reclosable opening is arranged vertically on the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold storage device in such a way that the required inevitable when filling Dead volume results.
- This serves as an expansion space for the freezing water or eutectic medium and effectively prevents overfilling. This avoids deformation of the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold store when the water or the eutectic medium freezes, and thus a deterioration in the heat conduction to the evaporator of the cooling device.
- the at least one removable cold store with a cold store holder can be inserted into and removed from the at least one recess of the at least one cooling element.
- the use of a cold storage holder makes it easier to remove and reinsert the at least one removable cold storage, since in the frozen state it can often be surrounded by a fine layer of ice, which makes its surface particularly smooth and slippery and thus makes manipulation by the user more difficult.
- the cooling device is characterized in that the cold storage holder is designed as an elastic spring element in such a way that the cold storage holder rests at least partially, preferably over the entire surface, elastically resiliently against a first side of the at least one removable cold storage device against the at least one evaporator , This arrangement ensures the largest possible contact area between the at least one removable cold storage device and the evaporator. As a result, the cooling of the at least one removable cold store is improved by the at least one evaporator.
- the cold storage holder can have a holding section at its upper end, at which the cold storage holder can be manipulated or gripped by the user of the cooling device in order to insert the at least one removable cold storage device into the at least one recess or from this.
- the holding section at the upper end of the cold storage holder facilitates the removal of the at least one removable cold storage device if it is introduced together with the cold storage device holder in the at least one recess of the at least one cooling element.
- the at least one cooling element can have at least one recess on its upper edge and / or lower edge for receiving at least one holding means.
- the holding means is preferably designed as an elastic spring element such that the holding means rests the first side of the at least one cooling element resiliently against the at least one evaporator, at least partially, preferably over the entire surface.
- the elastically resilient attachment of the at least one cooling element to the evaporator effectively prevents deformation of the evaporator when the at least one cooling element freezes.
- a direct and continuous contact with the evaporator is ensured by the spring force during the subsequent thawing. Accordingly, the cooling of the at least one cooling element is improved by the at least one evaporator.
- the at least one recess for receiving the at least one cooling element has inclined side surfaces and an inclined bottom surface. Condensed water that may occur thus flows safely to the lowest point of the at least one recess and cannot accumulate in the at least one recess.
- the inclined side surfaces and the inclined bottom surface ensure that, when the cooling device is operated with numerous frost and thaw cycles, no moisture from the air can collect on the cold surfaces of the at least one cooling element and / or the at least one removable cold store in the form of condensed water. Rather, it can flow downwards in a controlled manner.
- the targeted and controlled drainage of the condensed water can effectively prevent the at least one removable cold store from freezing in the at least one recess.
