Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of processes for the transport and distribution of heat-sensitive products, such as pharmaceutical products and food products, in refrigerated trucks, and it is particularly interested in one of the techniques used in this type of truck, so-called "indirect injection” which uses one (or more) heat exchanger (s) (for example coils or finned coils), in which circulates a cryogenic fluid such as liquid nitrogen or liquid CO 2 , internal chamber (cold room) to the truck is also provided with an air circulation system (fans) putting this air in contact with the cold walls of the exchanger, thereby cooling the internal air to the cold room truck, the cryogenic fluid that feeds the exchanger (s) from a liquid cryogen tank traditionally located under the truck.
- heat exchanger for example coils or finned coils
- the atmospheres maintained inside the cold room can be provided for both fresh products (typically a temperature of 4 ° C) that for frozen products (typically a temperature of -20 ° C).
- these exchangers or refrigerating units may consist of coil (s) exchanger (s) with surface extension type tubes / fins (continuous or independent fins), copper and / or aluminum, the battery being supplied with cryogen liquid, for example liquid nitrogen.
- cryogen liquid for example liquid nitrogen.
- This battery is for example placed in a box that guides the flow of air sucked by the fan mentioned above. The sucked air is thus cooled during its passage through the battery in contact with the cold fins and tubes fed with liquid nitrogen.
- the humidity contained in the atmosphere inside the chamber causes, in operation, the formation of a freezing fog and the formation of frost that accumulates on the tubes and fins of the battery .
- This frost layer which is deposited on the constituent elements of the battery forms a resistance (insulating layer) to the heat transfer between the hot air to be cooled and the cryogenic fluid, with a consequent decrease in the efficiency of these exchangers.
- the present invention then relates more particularly to the defrosting sequence required by such exchangers, which integrates, on the one hand, its triggering with the associated parameters, and on the other hand the actual deicing phase which consists in removing or melting the frost accumulated on the exchanger.
- de-icing solutions listed in the literature is de-icing by means of electrical resistances placed near the heat exchanger or, more generally, by using heat generation, for example sending "hot” air towards the heat exchanger. exchanger.
- the present invention relates more particularly to the first mode of defrosting (heat input).
- the duration of a defrost cycle is an important parameter vis-à-vis the overall objective of maintaining the temperature of the body to the setpoint, typically close to 4 ° C or close to -20 ° C depending on the products considered .
- cryogenic exchanger is provided by electric batteries or accumulators.
- One of the objectives of the present invention is therefore to propose a strategy for optimizing the "defrosting sequence", that is to say triggering it, and preferably also stopping it at the appropriate moment.
- the "nip" of the heat exchanger represents the difference between the temperature of the heat exchanger. the air entering the exchanger and the temperature of the fluid refrigerant at the outlet of the exchanger (ie the temperature of the cold vapors leaving the exchanger), ie the difference T int - T fluid outlet .
- the pinch is limited to a value close to 15K, mainly in order to maintain a level of high energy efficiency.
- this pinch value approaches 15K, the system will act on the cryogenic flow control valve reaching the exchanger to limit it so as to maintain a nip less than or equal to 15K (control mode pinch).
- the system is generally sized so that the exchanger has a pinch called “natural", that is to say with the cryogen flow control valve open at 100%, for example between 5 and 10K.
- frost will accumulate on the heat exchanger with the consequence of creating a thermal resistance that will reduce its effectiveness. Consequently, the value of the nip will progressively increase until it approaches 15K, causing a control action of the exchanger in "pinch regulation" (limitation of the cryogen flow to have a nip less than or equal to 15K).
- the cumulative time during which the exchanger is controlled in "pinch regulation" mode is therefore an indicator of the fouling condition of the exchanger by frost.
- the time when the pinching T int - T fluid output is greater than for example 13 ° C (pinch value maximum of which one subtracts a margin) one can know the state of fouling of the exchanger and trigger its defrost after a period t, t being for example determined by a series of tests.
- the frost setting of the exchanger creates a restriction of the free passage for air circulation through the battery, with additional losses that will lead to a decrease in air flow.
- the air blown out of the exchanger will therefore become increasingly cold as the decrease in air flow, so the frost setting of the exchanger.
- the follow-up in time of the blowing temperature ( T supply air ) is therefore a second indicator of the state of fouling of the exchanger by the frost. In practice, it is therefore conceivable to follow the temperature difference T int - T air blown .
- the probe for measuring the temperature T of the blown air will advantageously be positioned on the path where the air undergoes the greatest pressure losses, in other words on the trajectory where the frost mainly forms so as to have an increased sensitivity.
- a second interesting indicator for triggering the defrost is therefore the monitoring of the temperature difference T int - T blown air . Defrosting will then be advantageously triggered when this temperature difference will be greater than a given setpoint, Cons Tint - blown air , for a given time t, t and Cons Tint - blown air being parameters determined for example by means of tests.
- the figure 2 annexed illustrates an example of application of this algorithm on a test with 3 door openings of the truck.
- this test comprises a first cooling phase of the refrigerated box from the ambient temperature to about -20 ° C (set temperature of the frozen products) phase which takes about 1h, then a stabilization phase at -20 ° C for about 1h30.
- zones D (after OP2) and E (after OP3) represent two periods during which the exchanger is controlled in "pinch regulation" mode, which means a loss of efficiency of the exchanger linked to the training. of frost.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to the actual deicing phase, that is to say the phase during which we will seek to remove the accumulated ice on the battery of the exchanger for the purpose of allow the latter to find, as soon as possible, an efficiency close to its initial effectiveness.
- the heat exchanger is in defrost mode, it is stopped and can no longer produce cold.
- the duration of the defrosting phase should therefore be as short as possible so that the exchanger can operate again.
- the defrosting strategy to optimize its duration and its effectiveness is based firstly on a positioning of the resistors adapted to the distribution of frost on the battery and secondly, on a temperature measurement with a probe placed in the battery in a place where frost will accumulate mainly.
- frost on the battery is not homogeneous, it tends to deposit preferentially on the coldest parts of the battery, that is to say in this case, in the zone of arrival of the liquid nitrogen, on the first tubes / fins where the cryogen, for example liquid nitrogen, will vaporize.
- Frost fog is considered to be an atmosphere of between 0 ° and -40 ° C, saturated or not saturated with moisture and loaded with microdroplets of liquid water in a state of supercooling. This state allows the droplets to freeze instantly when they hit an obstacle, allowing frost formation on the leading edges of objects subject to airflow (for example: suction grilles, fan blades, fins edges of the exchangers). This This phenomenon can foul and "choke” forced convection heat exchangers in minutes, making them inefficient.
- a temperature sensor that can indicate the defrost stop (with the aid of the resistors 13) can be positioned with reference 12, ie close to the arrival of the refrigerant, here for example between the tubes of liquid nitrogen, and 5 to 20 cm inside the battery. This temperature measurement will make it possible to detect the end of the defrosting phase at the appropriate time.
- the battery will progressively charge in frost until it completely covers the probe 12.
- the temperature indicated by the probe will be very low, of the order of -100 ° C in the example considered, since it is taken in the frost mass, the frost mass being in contact with the tubes in which circulates liquid nitrogen to a temperature between -180 and -196 ° C.
- a defrost with an optimized time will be automatically stopped when the probe temperature 12 becomes positive.
