Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the storage and regeneration of a cooling fluid.
  • ice slurry is to be understood as meaning a cooling fluid comprising two phases of the same body in melting/crystallization equilibrium, for example water to which an antifreeze agent such as salt, alcohol, monoethylene glycol or monopropylene glycol has been added.
  • This body in melting equilibrium may also be a eutectic.
  • the solid phase in divided form, for example ice microcrystals, is distributed uniformly through the liquid phase, to the extent of obtaining a pasty or viscous consistency of the cooling fluid that is, for example, fluid enough that the said fluid can be pumped.
  • the cooling fluids considered according to the invention are therefore obtained, stored, transported and used in mixed and homogenous two-phase form, particularly in a consistency similar to that of a sorbet or ice slurry.
  • Cooling fluids comprise a liquid phase and a solid phase in homogeneous mixture. These are themselves generally mixtures of water and alcohol, water and ethylene glycol, water and propylene glycol, water and glycerol, water and ammonia, water and potassium carbonate, water and calcium chloride, water and magnesium chloride, water and potassium acetate, etc; other types of mixture, not containing water, may also be suitable.
  • Such cooling fluids perform very well; they absorb heat by the melting of their solid phase, as opposed to conventional liquid cooling fluids which absorb heat only by heating up (appreciable heat).
  • Cooling fluid in the liquid phase must be understood as meaning, on the other hand, fluid essentially in the liquid phase, that is to say with a low, if not zero, concentration of microcrystals.
  • Document U.S. Pat. No. 2,902,839 discloses a device for storing and regenerating a cooling fluid, in two-phase form, but not in the form of ice slurry, intended to circulate solely in liquid form through a heat transfer circuit.
  • the latter comprises one or more heat exchangers for the exchange of heat between the cold and liquid-form cooling fluid and the outside.
  • Said device comprises:
  • a circulation means of the pump type for circulating the cooling fluid, drawn from said compartment in the liquid state in the cold state, in the heat-exchange circuit and for reinjecting it into said compartment;
  • a two-phase recycling and cooling circuit for recycling and cooling the cooling fluid, within said compartment, comprising a tapping point at the lower part of said compartment, said recycling circuit incorporating the indirect heat-exchange means and comprising a means for withdrawing/discharging the cooling fluid.
  • the indirect heat-exchange means is an exchanger with a scraped surface, generating a mass setting of the cooling fluid over a scraping surface. Separation of the cooling fluid in solid form from the scraping surface requires significant force, thus going against the idea of reducing the operating energy consumption of the device.
  • EP 0 629 826 discloses a cold transfer device comprising a vertical compartment intended to store and to supply a heat-transfer circuit with a cooling fluid of the ice slurry type.
  • the device comprises an indirect heat-exchange means for the exchange of heat between a refrigerant fluid and the cooling fluid, this device being placed outside the storage chamber. It is pumped in liquid phase from a lower level of the storage compartment to be reinjected at a higher level once it has been enriched with microcrystals of the solid phase.
  • An extraction means is also provided for supplying the heat-transfer circuit with cooling fluid of the ice slurry type.
  • This extraction means comprises a cone opening onto a duct in the storage compartment. The opening of the cone is at a higher level and where the cooling fluid is rich in solid phase (ice microcrystals).
  • An agitating means is arranged in the cone, so as to create turbulence in the extracted cooling fluid, regenerating the ice slurry.
  • Such a device does not allow precise control over the concentration of microcrystals in the cooling fluid of ice slurry type extracted to feed the heat transfer circuit.
  • the supply to the indirect heat-exchange means is under the hydraulic pressure for the cooling fluid contained in the storage compartment. This may prove to be troublesome during maintenance operations especially, when the storage compartment is very large.
  • a significant storage head of ice slurry may, with certain mixtures, lead to a stratification which may appreciably damage the quality of the ice slurry injected into the installation. Drying-out of the top layer may occur, leading to non-optimum temperature. This disadvantage is all the more pronounced if the ice slurry is not in constant use.
  • the object of the present invention is to store and to regenerate, constantly, a cooling fluid, of the ice slurry type, so that it is permanently operational, even after long periods of shut down.
  • Another object of the present invention is to optimize the consistency of a cooling fluid of the ice slurry type, that is to say to optimize the concentration of microcrystals in the cooling fluid and, in particular, to control this concentration, in order to obtain the maximum storage.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to control and to alter, as appropriate, this concentration of microcrystals with a view to improving or adapting the refrigerating properties of the cooling fluid of the ice slurry type, in use.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to simplify the installations employing such a cooling fluid, on the one hand, and to facilitate the maintenance operations, on the other.
  • the device comprises:
  • step (i) the cooling fluid obtained in (h) is used to carry out step (a) by tapping cooling fluid conditioned in the from of ice slurry from said other compartment and it is reinjected, downstream of the heat exchanger or exchangers of the heat-transfer circuit into the storage and regeneration compartment, and/or for example at the inlet to the indirect heat-exchange means.
  • the indirect heat-exchange means comprises:
  • a crystallization chamber provided, on the one hand, with at least one tapping orifice for solid-phase-lean cooling fluid, communicating with the storage and regeneration compartment in the lower part and, on the other hand, an expulsion opening for expelling solid-phase-rich cooling fluid ( 4 );
  • At least one hollow disk mounted fixedly in the crystallization chamber in contact with the circulating stream of cooling fluid from the tapping orifice to the expulsion opening, said disk having, passing through it internally, a refrigerant fluid in the course of evaporating or some other cooling fluid at a lower temperature;
  • a set of sweeping arms which are mounted on a spindle which is driven in rotation by a geared motor unit, and which arms are arranged with respect to the disk(s) in such a way as to sweep its surface in contact with the cooling fluid and to expel the solid-phase-rich cooling fluid toward the expulsion opening.
  • the indirect heat-exchange means comprises a set of hollow disks which are arranged parallel to one another and spaced apart, and in that at least some of the sweeping arms, mounted fixedly on the spindle of the geared motor unit are angularly offset from one another and, from one disk to the next or from one side of a disk to its adjacent side, to force the cooling fluid to circulate within the crystallization chamber, the sweeping arms together thus constituting the withdrawing/discharging means for recycling the cooling fluid within the storage and regeneration compartment.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a number of indirect heat-exchange means associated with one and the same storage and regeneration compartment and distributed about said compartment, which runs concentrically around the sole other conditioning compartment.
  • the device according to the invention has the advantage of keeping the cooling fluid in motion throughout its circulation through the two compartments, storage and regeneration, and conditioning, respectively, particularly in the indirect heat-exchange means, thus avoiding any setting that carries the risk that the circulation will become blocked by the frozen fluid.
  • Another advantage is associated with the large amount of cooling fluid that can be stored in two-phase form in the melting equilibrium, with a view to supplying any cold-transfer circuit.

  • the heat-transfer circuit 10 opens downstream of the heat-exchange means 12 into the storage and regeneration compartment 12 .
  • the heat transfer circuit 10 thus opens for example into the storage and regeneration compartment 2 , via an opening 2 a.
  • the volume into which the heat-transfer circuit 10 opens is preferably partially separated or demarcated from the remainder of the storage and regeneration compartment 2 and may in its lower part comprise gratings 14 able to contain the cooling fluid 4 in solid phase in said storage and regeneration compartment 2 .
  • the gratings 14 thus constituting a filter, may be omitted when the storage and regeneration compartment 2 is large enough to obtain good separation of the cooling fluid 4 in the liquid phase towards the bottom.
  • the storage and regeneration compartment 2 delimits a central separation region 2 b including the lower part arranged, on the one hand, between the gratings 14 and, on the other hand, between two boundary walls 16 and 18 .
