Definitions
- the invention relates to a vehicle for passenger transport, with a galley area in which at least one built-in component is arranged that generates waste heat locally, and with a refrigeration unit that has a condenser for cooling a refrigerant of the refrigeration unit, wherein a Condenser fan is provided for loading the condenser with exhaust air from the galley area of the vehicle.
- Such vehicles which are equipped with a galley for catering passengers, are known, for example, in rail vehicles as restaurant cars.
- various airlines now also offer upscale catering for passengers, so that the aircraft in question are also equipped with a galley.
- Restaurant cars place particularly high demands on their air conditioning.
- the permissible temperatures determined by relevant standards, must be observed in the comfort areas provided for passengers, while on the other hand, the smells from the galley area are not in the interior of the vehicle may be distributed.
- Such a galley kitchen typically has waste heat sources, such as an extractor hood (steamer), dishwasher, coffee machine, etc.
- waste heat sources such as an extractor hood (steamer), dishwasher, coffee machine, etc.
- Such built-in components of a galley area of a vehicle generate waste heat locally, which makes it difficult to air-condition the interior of the vehicle in question.
- the galley area is also equipped with a cooling unit.
- a refrigerant of the refrigeration unit is cooled at its condenser.
- the exhaust air flow used for this the galley area extracts heat from the refrigerant.
- the air flow that has passed the condenser of the refrigeration unit is partly fed back into the vehicle and partly into an exhaust air and released to an environment of the vehicle.
- the invention is based on the object of further developing a vehicle of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the required output of the refrigeration unit for air conditioning the vehicle is reduced.
- the at least one built-in component is assigned an air duct for extracting exhaust air heated locally at the at least one built-in component, this exhaust air being routed to an input side of the condenser of the refrigeration unit by means of the air duct .
- the exhaust air from the galley area and the exhaust air from the at least one built-in component are preferably brought together on an input side of the condenser fan and the fan thus promotes an air flow past the condenser, which consists of the exhaust air from the galley area as a whole and of the local exhaust air originating from the built-in component.
- the air duct can be routed from the location of the at least one installation component into a gap between an interior lining and a body shell of the vehicle, then along the vehicle from there to the input side of the condenser of the refrigeration unit. In this way, a favorable routing for the air duct for conveying the exhaust air from the built-in component is realized.
- the vehicle can preferably be designed as a restaurant car of a train.
- the at least one built-in component can in particular be formed by a fume hood that is connected to the air duct.
- the fume hood is inside a galley area, that built-in component which, based on experience, generates the greatest waste heat locally. Therefore, the advantages of the invention are particularly evident in this built-in component.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of part of a restaurant and taurantwagens
- Figure 2 is a schematic block diagram representation of a refrigeration unit for installation in the restaurant car of Figure 1.
- a refrigeration unit 2 a galley area 3 for passengers and an extractor hood (“steamer”) 4 are arranged in the illustrated part of a restaurant car 1, which is, for example, one of the cars of a high-speed train. From the extractor hood 4 locally absorbed, heated exhaust air is fed to the refrigeration unit 2 via an air duct 5 .
- the extractor hood 4 is arranged remotely from the refrigeration unit 2.
- the refrigeration unit 2 is located adjacent to an end wall 6 of the Restaurantwa gens 1.
- the air duct 5 is from the location of the extractor hood 4 in a space between an inner lining and a shell of the restaurant car 1, then along the restaurant car 1 and from there to the refrigeration unit 2 ge leads.
- FIG. 2 shows the structure of the refrigeration unit 2 in more detail.
- the refrigeration unit 2 includes an expansion valve 7, an evaporator / cooler 8 with an associated fan 9, a Compressor 10 with an output of 6 kW, for example, and a condenser 11 with an associated condenser fan 12.
- Exhaust air coming from the extractor hood 4 is illustrated in FIG. As symbolized by a further arrow 15 in Figure 2, the exhaust air from the extractor hood 4 and the exhaust air from the galley area 3 are brought together on an intake side of the condenser fan 12 and pass through the condenser 11, so that on its outlet side a Air flow indicated by arrow 16 is present. The air flow 16 is discharged partly as exhaust air to the surroundings of the restaurant car 1 and partly fed back into the galley area 3 .
- the condenser fan 12 is operated, for example, in such a way that it guides an air flow of 400 m 3 /hour past the condenser 11 .
- a separate exhaust air extraction system for the extractor hood 4 would typically have to be accomplished with another fan that sequentially generates an exhaust air flow of, for example, 200 m 3 /hour.
- the joint extraction of the exhaust air 13 from the extractor hood 4 and the exhaust air 14 from the galley area 3 that is presented here saves about 200 m 3 /hour of exhaust air flow to be conveyed. This in turn has the consequence that less fresh air has to be conditioned with the aid of the refrigeration unit 2 for supply air to the galley area 3, which concerns temperature and humidity, for example.
- it is ensured that the heated exhaust air 13 present at the extractor hood 4 does not reach other parts of the restaurant car 1, but rather is at least partially discharged as exhaust air via the refrigeration unit 2 and there beyond the condenser 11.
