Definitions
- the invention relates to a household refrigerator with a receiving space for food, which is delimited by an inner container and can be tempered by at least one evaporator attached to a wall surface of the inner container.
- the invention also relates to a method for fastening an evaporator to a wall surface of an inner container.
- the DE 10 2007 048 830 A1 discloses a device for producing a refrigeration device which has a container and a tube which is helically wound around the container for guiding a refrigerant, with a holding means for clamping the container and a device for applying the tube to the outside of the container.
- the device has a pressure roller for an aluminum adhesive tape which is wrapped around the container before the tube is assembled.
- a butyl adhesive is provided as an adhesive for connecting the tube to the strip of aluminum wrapped around the inner container.
- the DE 697 09 232 T2 discloses a method for manufacturing evaporators for refrigeration machines, the evaporator having a hairpin coil with straight sections which are arranged between two metal sheets and are connected to them by means of an adhesive and by deforming at least one of the metal sheets.
- the US 7,124,602 B2 discloses a refrigerator with an evaporation tube, which is attached directly to the outside surfaces of an inner housing with an adhesive layer. Then the evaporator tube on the inner housing with a thermal insulation between Inner and outer case is covered. So that the evaporator tube can be stored and transported, the adhesive layer has a peel-off tape before mounting on the refrigerator.
- a household refrigeration device comprises a housing in which at least one receiving space for food is formed, which is delimited by an inner container and can be tempered by an evaporator attached to a wall surface of the inner container, the evaporator has an evaporator tube attached to a heat-conducting film by a first adhesive layer, wherein the first adhesive layer is formed from an adhesive based on acrylate or synthetic rubber.
- gluing In general, there is the advantage of gluing that no extreme conditions are necessary during the joining process or during the connection of the evaporator to the inner container. While in joining processes such. B. welding or soldering, the parts to be exposed to high temperatures and causing thermal changes in the material properties, gluing avoids such conditions, so that temperature-sensitive materials such as Polystyrene or polypropylene, can be added. This enables the evaporator to be attached to the inner container by gluing with simple means and without thermal treatment.
- pressure sensitive adhesives based on synthetic rubber are actually sensitive to low temperatures of less than minus 10 ° C and pressure sensitive adhesives based on acrylate actually have a weak initial adhesion, which has a particularly negative effect on the cycle time in the manufacturing process of a household refrigerator, the use of these pressure sensitive adhesives is for the Attaching an evaporator to an inner container in the area of household refrigerators is actually unusual.
- pressure-sensitive adhesives based on acrylate or synthetic rubber have a low coefficient of thermal conductivity, so that the use of these pressure-sensitive adhesives in a heat transfer area between the evaporator and the receiving space is actually unusual for stored goods in a household refrigeration device.
- An advantage of acrylate or synthetic rubber as an adhesive layer is, however, the high mechanical inherent strength, so that the heat-conducting film can be wetted with small layer thicknesses on the heat-conducting film. As a result, material costs and thus manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced.
- the adhesive which is based on acrylate or synthetic rubber, no longer has to be temperature-controlled prior to processing as a pressure-sensitive adhesive and has to be applied with high precision or with few tolerances as a bead or as a narrow strip on the inner container or on the evaporator tube. Since this is omitted according to the present invention, there is a simplified manufacturing process and thus a more cost-effective fastening of an evaporator to an inner container of a household refrigeration device.
- a “household refrigerator” is to be understood in particular as a cabinet-shaped device which is usually operated electrically and independently keeps the temperature inside low.
- the interior of the refrigerator is cooled by means of a compressor that is often located on the rear and regulated by a temperature controller.
- the cooling unit is a refrigeration machine that uses the physical effect of the heat of vaporization when the state of the unit changes from liquid to gaseous.
- a refrigerant which is moved in a closed cycle, experiences different physical state changes in succession.
- the gaseous refrigerant is first compressed by a cooling unit. It then condenses through the condenser, giving off heat.
- the liquid refrigerant is then expanded via a throttle, for example an expansion valve or a capillary tube, due to the pressure change.
- the refrigerant evaporates in the downstream evaporator while absorbing heat at a low temperature.
- the cycle can now start again.
- the process must be kept going from the outside by supplying mechanical work via the cooling unit.
- the refrigerant absorbs heat at a low temperature level, e.g. 5 ° C cold inside the refrigerator, and releases it to the environment with mechanical work at a higher temperature level, e.g. 35 ° C condensing temperature in the condenser on the rear of the refrigerator.
- Household refrigeration appliances are usually used for the storage of food.
- the lower temperature causes chemical reactions and biological processes, for example Food inedible and medication unusable, slow down.
- the usual operating temperatures inside domestic refrigeration units are between plus 2 ° C and plus 8 ° C in cold rooms, between minus 14 ° C and minus 18 ° C in freezer rooms and between minus 2 ° C and plus 4 ° C in freezer compartments.
- the housing of the cooling compartments is thermally insulated in order to keep the energy consumption low to maintain the difference to the ambient temperature.
- a “receiving space” is to be understood in particular to mean a space which is suitable for storing food and for arranging equipment elements and, if appropriate, cooling systems required for cooling the receiving space.
- An “inner container” is to be understood in particular as a boundary wall of the receiving space, which is preferably formed from polystyrene.
- the inner container of household refrigeration appliances is usually foamed with a thermal insulation made of rigid polyurethane foam.
- the wall surfaces of the inner container on which the evaporator is fastened are preferably foam-side wall surfaces of the inner container.
- Temporable should in particular be understood to be coolable or heatable.
- Thermally conductive film is to be understood in particular to mean a film which has heat-conducting properties and which has a very thin layer thickness.
- the heat-conducting film is processed into very thin layers by rolling and, in the technical sense, has a low bending stiffness.
- Thermally conductive films usually have a layer thickness of 2 ⁇ m to 200 ⁇ m.
- Evaporator is to be understood in particular as a component of a refrigeration cycle which extracts the heat from the storage space for stored goods.
- Evaporator tube is to be understood in particular as a tube through which refrigerant flows.
- the “evaporator” is preferably formed from an evaporator tube bent in a serpentine shape.
- “Acrylate” is to be understood in particular as an adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive which is largely insensitive to oxidation and UV radiation and has good aging and temperature resistance. Thanks to the polar side chains, “Acrylate” shows good adhesion to polar materials such as glass and metal. Since “acrylate” has a weak initial adhesion and an adequate adhesive effect only develops over a longer period of time, the use of an "acrylate” based adhesive is rare in the manufacturing industry due to the extension of the cycle time.
- Synthetic rubber is to be understood in particular as an adhesive which is distinguished by very high adhesive strengths under normal conditions and is particularly suitable for bonding non-polar materials, such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene.
- non-polar materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene.
- the “synthetic rubber” reacts sensitively to low temperatures of less than minus 10 ° C as well as to elevated temperatures of greater than 50 ° C, so that the application in the household refrigeration device area for the application of evaporators is surprising.
- the heat-conducting film may be a metal film, in particular an aluminum film. It is thereby achieved that the heat-conducting film functioning as a carrier layer has sufficient heat conductivity.
- a metal foil, in particular aluminum foil, enables very good heat transfer from the receiving space to the evaporator.
- the heat-conducting film on a first adhesive surface may be wetted over the entire surface by the first adhesive layer.
- the evaporator must be attached to the foam-side wall surface of the inner container with greater tolerances or with less precision in the manufacturing process.
- the manufacture of the household refrigeration device according to the invention with appropriate fastening of an evaporator can be implemented more cost-effectively and in terms of process technology.
- the complete wetting of the heat-conducting film with an adhesive layer results in better adhesion with the expanded polyurethane foam between the housing and the inner container.
- weaknesses in heat insulation or cavities in the rigid polyurethane foam can be avoided.
- the evaporator tube can have a first evaporator tube section and a second evaporator tube section running parallel to the first evaporator tube section, which are connected to one another in a heat-conducting manner by an integral cut of the heat-conducting film. It is thereby achieved that the heat-conducting film does not have to be attached to the inner container of the household refrigeration device in the form of a strip and in the longitudinal direction of the evaporator tube, but rather is glued to the inner container in large, one-piece blanks. Thus, several serpentine-shaped evaporator tube sections can be placed on the one-piece blank of the heat-conducting film.
- a further advantage is that the large-area heat transfer surface enables more efficient cooling of the receiving space and more efficient operation of the evaporator, and the one-piece cut of the heat-conducting film means that there are no heat transfer breaks in the heat-conducting film, as is the case with multi-piece adhesive strips arranged in parallel.
- the one-piece cut of the heat-conducting film essentially completely or at least mostly covers the at least one wall surface. This ensures that the cooling takes place over a large area or over the entire wall surface of the inner container. Due to the one-piece cutting of the heat-conducting film over a large wall area of the inner container, particularly efficient cooling of the receiving space can be achieved with simple means, since there are no heat transfer breaks in the heat-conducting film as with adhesive strips arranged in parallel.
- the one-piece cut of the heat-conducting film covers several wall surfaces of the inner container.
- the one-piece Cutting the heat-conducting film completely or at least mostly covers the several wall surfaces.
- the one-piece cut of the thermal foil preferably extends over an edge between the plurality of wall surfaces of the inner container and preferably covers this edge. This means that the cooling of the receiving space is possible with simple means over several wall surfaces.
- the one-piece blank extending over several wall surfaces of the inner container has no heat transfer bridges, so that the cooling of the receiving space or the operation of the evaporator is more efficient.
- the fastening of the evaporator or the manufacture of the household refrigeration device can be accelerated, since the heat-conducting film does not have to be placed in strips on the inner container.
- the evaporator tube can extend over several wall surfaces of the inner container. It is thereby achieved that the evaporator can extract the heat from the receiving space over several wall surfaces of the inner container. Accordingly, the evaporator can be operated more efficiently and the household refrigerator can be operated more energy-efficiently.
- the heat-conducting film can have a layer thickness of at most 100 ⁇ m, preferably a layer thickness of max. Have 50 microns. It is thereby achieved that the heat transfer between the receiving space and the evaporator tube is improved, since the layer thickness of the heat-conducting film and thus the heat-conducting resistance is very low. Accordingly, the cost of materials for the heat-conducting film is reduced and the evaporator can be operated more efficiently and the household refrigeration device can be operated more energy-efficiently.
- the first adhesive layer can have a layer thickness of 30 ⁇ m to 70 ⁇ m, preferably a layer thickness of 30 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m.
- the layer thickness of the adhesive layer is significantly less than that of a butyl adhesive layer.
- the pressure sensitive adhesive which is based on acrylate or synthetic rubber, has a high inherent strength, so that the heat-conducting film can be wetted with smaller layer thicknesses of the adhesive based on acrylate or synthetic rubber, and still have sufficient adhesion of the evaporator tube even at temperatures from -40 ° C to +10 ° C in the operating state of the evaporator.
- the lower layer thickness of the adhesive reduces the heat conduction resistance, which means that the evaporator can be operated more efficiently and the household refrigerator can be operated more efficiently.
- the heat-conducting film may be attached to the at least one wall surface of the inner container by means of a second adhesive layer which is formed on a second adhesive surface of the heat-conducting film and is formed from an adhesive based on acrylate or synthetic rubber.
- the second adhesive surface is preferably located on a surface of the heat-conducting film that is opposite the first adhesive surface.
- the identical adhesive namely an adhesive based on synthetic rubber or acrylate, can be used for the bonds between the heat-conducting film and the inner container as well as the heat-conducting film and the evaporator tube.
- the second adhesive layer can have a layer thickness of 30 ⁇ m to 70 ⁇ m, preferably a layer thickness of 30 ⁇ m to 40 ⁇ m. Since an adhesive based on acrylate or synthetic rubber has a very high inherent strength, the layer thicknesses can be chosen to be very thin. The lower layer thickness of the adhesive reduces the thermal conduction resistance, which means that the evaporator can be operated more efficiently and the household refrigerator can be operated more efficiently.
- the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer can have different layer thicknesses, preferably the layer thickness of the first adhesive layer can be greater than the layer thickness of the second adhesive layer. Since the adhesive connection between the evaporator tube and the heat-conducting film is exposed to greater mechanical stresses in the manufacturing process, it is advantageous to that the adhesive layer or first adhesive layer facing the evaporator tube has a greater layer thickness. On the other hand, the second adhesive layer or the adhesive layer facing the inner container can have a smaller layer thickness than the first adhesive layer, as a result of which the material and manufacturing costs can be further reduced.
- the heat conduction resistance can be reduced by a smaller layer thickness of the adhesive, as a result of which the evaporator can be operated more efficiently and the household refrigeration device can be operated more efficiently.
- the heat-conducting film with an applied first adhesive layer and an applied second adhesive layer and at least one cover film covering the first adhesive layer can form a preassembly unit. This ensures that the heat-conducting film can be prefabricated with the appropriate adhesive layers and a cover film before it is installed on the household refrigerator. This enables cost-effective production of the household refrigeration device equipped with the heat-conducting film.
- the evaporator tube can be attached in a longitudinally curved manner to the at least one wall surface of the inner container or wound helically around the inner container.
- the evaporator and the heat-conducting film connected to the evaporator tube by the first adhesive layer can form a preassembly unit.
- the evaporator is thus designed as a pre-assembled assembly unit or assembly. This has the advantage that the pre-assembled assembly unit or assembly can be manufactured in the pre-assembly and the assembly assembly only has to be attached to the inner container by the second adhesive layer when assembling the household refrigeration device.
- the refrigerant tube may have a straight wall section and a curved wall section, the straight wall section facing the inner container being connected to the heat-conducting film by the first adhesive layer and the curved wall section not being connected to the heat-conducting film by the first adhesive layer is.
- the method can include peeling off a cover film from the first adhesive layer.
- the one-piece blank can also cover substantially or at least the majority of several of the wall surfaces of the inner container.
- the evaporator can also consist of a plurality of evaporator tube sections 311, 312 which are connected to one another in a serpentine shape and which are pressed onto the one-piece blank 201 of the heat-conducting film 20, 22.
- the method according to the invention has the advantage that the evaporator is fastened is less complex compared to the prior art and thus the manufacturing process is easier and more efficient to implement.
- top, bottom, front, “back,” horizontal “,” vertical “,” depth direction “,” width direction “,” height direction “etc. are in accordance with the intended use and arrangement of the device and at to a given position and orientation given in front of the device and looking in the direction of the device.
