A freezing tank is also referred to as an ice bank, and from the standpoint of energy conservation during summer cooling, the water to be cooled is frozen using electricity at night and stored as latent heat, which is then thawed and used during the day. A large capacity of cooling can be achieved with a small-scale heat storage tank, which is also useful in terms of resource conservation.

Conventionally, in this type of ice bank method,
Various developments have been made to detect, measure, and control the thickness of ice that grows on the surface of cooling pipes.
To perform measurement and control, multiple of these sensors are installed at appropriate locations on the cooling pipe, and based on these values, the thickness of ice that has grown on the surface of the freezing pipe is measured. . However, the amount of refrigerant flowing through the cooling pipe, the flow rate of the water to be cooled, the shape of the flow,
Due to the secondary effects of ice formation caused by this, and the abnormal growth of ice in unspecified locations due to repeated freezing and melting, local ice thickness detection and control requires detection and measurement of the total amount of ice formation. , control, etc. is difficult. For this purpose, the amount of ice formed is measured by overflowing the water to be cooled by the increase in specific volume due to the ice that grows on the surface of the cooling pipe, and by weighing the difference in weight of the freezing tank before and after freezing. Measuring devices have been developed, but in small-scale freezing tanks, the cooling tube can be isolated from the freezing tank and suspended, and the freezing tank containing only the water to be cooled can be weighed, but in large-scale freezing tanks, In a tank, there are problems in that it is difficult to suspend the cooling pipe and the amount of ice that has grown on its surface using the above-described structure, and that it is difficult to control the water level of the water to be cooled with high precision.

The present invention has been made in view of this point. The figure is a schematic cross-sectional view of a freezing tank showing the principle of the present invention. 1 is a bottle-shaped freezing tank with a narrow opening, and a cooling pipe 2 is housed inside the freezing tank. Reference numeral 3 designates the upper lid of the freezing tank 1, which is shaped like a hat, and an exhaust pipe 4 is provided at the top of the lid, and the tip thereof is opened to the outside air. The cross-sectional area of the exhaust pipe 4 is significantly smaller than the horizontal cross-sectional area of the freezing tank 1, and the overflow line 8 is set therein. A drain pipe 5 is opened at the bottom of the freezing tank 1, and is led out of the tank, and an overflow hole 7 for the water to be cooled 6 is provided.
A flexible pipe 9 is connected to the cooling pipe 2 at a position beyond the overflow line 8, and is connected to a cooling device 10. Further, the cooling pipe 2 is supported by the freezing tank 1 at a penetrating portion of the freezing tank 1 or the upper lid 3, or at other necessary locations by supports 11 or the like. The cooling pipe 2 is cooled by a full liquid cooling method, and the liquid level of the refrigerant is controlled by a liquid level control device 12 (a float type in the figure) so that the liquid level is always maintained at a constant position. 13 is ice growing on two sides of the freezing tube. 14 is a water supply pipe, which freezes water in the freezing tank 1 according to the required amount of water to be cooled, thereby causing the water to be cooled in the lower layer of the freezing tank 1 to pass through the drain pipe 5 and overflow from the overflow hole 7; Cooling water is supplied from a water connection pipe 14 so that the overflow line 8 is always filled with cooling water. 15 is a sensor for weighing the total weight of the freezing tank 1 and others, and 16 is its calculation indicator. The weighing sensor 15 is optimally a load cell that uses strain resistance and is suitable for heavy loads, and is also convenient for calculating the total amount of frozen water or the total amount of cold storage heat based on the amount of cooled water and its average temperature. good.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained. The surface of the cooling pipe 2 is cooled by the flow of the refrigerant inside the cooling pipe 2, and the water to be cooled 6 flowing in contact with the pipe surface is cooled, thereby forming ice 13 on the surface of the cooling pipe 2. If the specific volume of ice α = 1.09, as the ice grows,
The water to be cooled overflows from the overflow hole 7 provided in the drain pipe 5 by the amount of increase in volume due to freezing. That is, if the frozen weight is x, the frozen volume is αx, and only αx−x is the amount of water that overflows. Therefore, the difference in weight before and after freezing
W 1 - W 2 = αx - x, and the amount of ice is x = W 1 - W 2 / α
-1, and the amount of ice formation can be determined. Therefore, the weight difference in the above equation can be sensed by the weighing sensor 15, and the amount of ice calculated by the computing device connected to the weighing sensor can be read by the computing indicator 16. In this case, the items to be weighed are shown in the figure: the freezing tank 1, the freezing tube 2 and their supports 11, the amount of refrigerant in the freezing tube 2, the liquid level control device 12, the drain pipe 5, the water to be cooled 6, and the freezing tube 13. etc., and the various quantities other than the water to be cooled 6 and the amount of frozen water 13 are constant.

Here, since the horizontal cross-sectional area of the freezing tank 1 is extremely large in the case of a large-scale freezing tank, a slight error in the water level control of the cooled water 6, that is, an excess or deficiency in the amount of overflowing water, will cause a large error in the amount of freezing. Therefore, by setting the overflow line 8 to a portion with a significantly smaller cross-sectional area than the horizontal cross-sectional area, water level control accuracy can be significantly improved.

Next, the cooling pipe 2 and its attached parts 11, 1
Since it is difficult to isolate the 2nd etc. from the freezing tank 1 when the capacity is large, these are integrated with the freezing tank 1, and on the other hand, the connection part with the cooling device 10 is connected via a flexible tube 9. This connection is made so that the weight of the freezing tank 1 including the ice cubes 13 and others will not be affected. Next, since the cooling is based on the refrigerant filling method, the liquid level of the refrigerant is controlled by the liquid level control device 1.
2, and the operation is performed with the amount of refrigerant liquid filled in the cooling pipe 2 always being constant. Note that this full liquid cooling method is a method that enables operation with excellent cooling efficiency. The above explanation is based on the state where water supply from the water supply pipe is stopped, but there is no difference even when water is being supplied. The overflow mechanism for the water to be cooled and the liquid level control mechanism for the refrigerant are merely examples thereof, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

As described above, the present invention provides an ice freezing tank having a sake bottle shape, the upper lid of which is shaped like a cap, and an exhaust pipe is provided at the top of the tank, and the exhaust pipe has a portion with a significantly smaller cross-sectional area than the horizontal cross-sectional area of the freezing tank. An overflow line is set on it, an overflow hole is provided in the drain pipe at a height corresponding to this position, the cooling pipe is connected to a cooling device via a flexible pipe, and cooling is performed using a flooded cooling method. Because this is done, the difference in weighing before and after freezing can be determined with high precision. Therefore, by continuously measuring the amount of ice and adding the amount of heat of the water to be cooled to calculate the total amount of heat, it is possible to measure, indicate, and control the total amount of stored cold heat with high accuracy. It is extremely effective in terms of energy and resource conservation.
