Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooling device for beverages in beverage containers, including a preferably cylindrical chamber for receiving a beverage container and at least one cooling element.
  • Cooling devices for beverages are basically used in two different types. On the one hand, there are cooling devices with relatively low cooling capacities, which are used to slowly cool down beverages to temperatures of, e.g. 6 to 10° C. and keep them at those temperatures. These, for instance, comprise commercially available household refrigerators. On the other hand, there are cooling devices that serve to bring beverage bottles to a desired drinking temperature within the shortest possible time. This group of cooling devices includes so-called rapid coolers for the catering industry, which are able to cool beverages in beverage bottles from room temperature to e.g. 10° C. within a few minutes. This type of coolers involves the substantial problem of a long precooling time (up to 3 hours) the device requires until ready for operation. The present invention primarily relates to cooling devices of the rapid cooler type.
  • Rapid coolers of the prior art operate according to various methods, e.g. with air cooling, water cooling, water-with-ice cooling or by using circulating water in an ice bath, ice bags (cool packs) or compression chillers.
  • the present invention aims to provide an instant cooler for beverages in beverage containers, which minimizes both the precooling time and the cooling process for beverages in containers, and makes this technology accessible to households and the catering industry by a suitable construction.
  • the device is to be far more compact than conventional refrigerators or freezers.
  • the invention in a cooling device of the initially defined kind contemplates that the chamber is constructed as a basin for a cooling bath.
  • the chamber contains a cooling liquid.
  • the beverage container is thus placed into the cooling bath in such a manner that cooling medium, i.e. the cooling liquid of the cooling bath, will immediately get into contact with the beverage container. It is thereby possible to increase the surface area via which the cooling liquid contacts the beverage container, and hence improve the heat transfer from the cooling medium to the container wall.
  • the amount of the cooling liquid contained in the chamber is dimensioned such that the beverage container is immersed in the cooling bath by at least 30%, preferably at least 80%, of its height as it is being introduced into the chamber.
  • the chamber has a portion widened in terms of cross section.
  • the widened portion is, in particular, provided in a central part or in the upper part of the chamber. It is also possible to provide kind of communicating vessels to prevent overflowing.
  • the widened portion can be formed as an edge portion bordering the opening of the chamber and having an inner surface conically widening as far as to the opening of the chamber, so that cooling liquid will run back into the bath through the passage seal during stripping-off.
  • the high cooling rate provided by the invention also has positive ecological and economical effects in that beverages need no longer be stored in refrigerators or wine coolers for indefinite periods of time, but can be cooled on demand. The energy necessary for keeping the cooled beverage in stock is thus no longer required.
  • Particularly efficient cooling will preferably be provided in that the at least one cooling element is arranged within the chamber, i.e. is disposed or immersed in the cooling liquid of the cooling bath during operation.
  • the at least one cooling element can, in particular, be disposed on the wall of the chamber such that the space available for receiving the beverage container is reduced as little as possible.
  • a particularly short precooling period time until the cooling bath has reached the desired temperature after having turned on the cooling device
  • a particularly short precooling period time until the cooling bath has reached the desired temperature after having turned on the cooling device
  • the amount of the cooling liquid of the bath is minimized, said amount having to be adapted to the geometries of the respective cooling container and the cooling bath.
  • the cooling device for beverage containers has a dimension such that, when introducing the beverage container into the chamber, only a small annular gap of 0.1 mm to 3 cm, preferably 0.1 mm to 2 cm, will remain between the wall of the beverage container and the cooling element, which is preferably disposed on the wall of the chamber. Unless the beverage container is cylindrically designed, the above-mentioned annular gap is to be measured at the narrowest point.
  • the cooling element is comprised of a cooling coil.
  • the cooling element in particular the cooling coil, is preferably designed to peripherally surround the beverage container to be introduced.
  • the cooling element in particular the cooling coil, additionally comprises a portion provided below the beverage container to be introduced in order to enable the rapid precooling of the cooling liquid and, after having introduced the container, rapidly cool the latter.

  • the filling level during the introduction of the beverage container rises from, for instance, 5 cm to at least 7.5 cm, preferably to at least 15 cm, in a particularly preferred manner to at least 20 cm.
  • the volume of the chamber, the volume of the cooling liquid present in the cooling bath and the diameter and/or volume of the beverage container are, in particular, adapted to one another in such a manner that a peripherally uniform annular gap of 3 cm at most, preferably 2 cm at most, remains between the wall of the beverage container and the wall of the chamber, or the cooling element preferably disposed on the chamber wall.
  • the above-mentioned annular gap is to be measured at the narrowest point, i.e. the annular gap is 3 cm at most, preferably 2 cm at most, at the narrowest point.
  • the cooling device according to the invention is configured for cans such that the annular gap resulting from the introduction of a can is outwardly delimited by an element having an inner diameter of 50 mm to 145 mm, preferably 50 mm to 105 mm.
  • the outer limitation of the annular gap is, for instance, formed by the chamber wall or by the inner periphery of the cooling element, as the case may be.
  • the cooling device according to the invention for bottles is configured such that the annular gap resulting from the introduction of a bottle is outwardly delimited by an element having an inner diameter of 50 mm to 220 mm, preferably 50 mm to 140 mm.
  • the volume of the chamber with the cooling element e.g. cooling coil
  • the volume of the cooling liquid present in the cooling bath and the diameter of the beverage container (or volume of the beverage container) are preferably adapted to one another in such a manner that the filling level of the cooling liquid rises at least as far as to the upper edge of the cooling element when introducing the beverage container into the cooling bath.
  • a test configuration is provided.
  • the configuration is preferably devised such that the filling level of the cooling liquid rises at least 1.5 times, preferably at least 3 times, in a particularly preferred manner at least 4 times, when introducing a circular-cylindrical test body having an optional diameter of 49.9 mm, 79.9 mm, 109.9 mm, 139.9 mm, 169.9 mm, or 199.9 mm, respectively, into a cooling bath of any desired volume.
  • the test body should have a height at least corresponding to the height of the bath after having introduced the container. When carrying out the test, the test body is to be placed on the bottom of the chamber.
  • the invention is not limited to a cylindrical chamber.
  • the chamber may also comprise a cylindrical shape changing along its height in terms of diameter (e.g. cone).
  • the chamber is comprised of a plurality of sectional chambers in mutual fluid-communication (communicating vessels).
  • the individual sectional chambers can be cylindrically designed such that a single bottle or a single can is received in each of the sectional chambers.
  • each sectional chamber in terms of diameter is preferably adapted to the can or bottle to be introduced such that, when introducing the can or bottle, only a small annular gap remains around the container, in particular an annular gap having a width of less than 3 cm, in particular less than 2 cm.
  • the sectional chambers have the previously indicated diameters as a function of whether the respective sectional chamber is provided for the introduction of a can or a bottle. It is also possible to place different vessels with different cooling coils in one device (e.g. 5 can coolers in one device).
  • the cooling element is preferably incorporated in a coolant cycle.
  • the coolant cycle can, for instance, be configured as the cycle of a compression chiller.
  • a compression chiller is a refrigerating machine that uses the physical effect of the evaporation heat at a change of the aggregation state from liquid to gaseous.
  • a refrigerant conveyed in a closed cycle successively experiences different changes of its aggregation state.
  • the gaseous refrigerant is at first compressed by a compressor.
  • the consecutive heat exchanger condenses (liquefies) while giving off heat.
  • the liquid refrigerant is expanded due to a change in pressure via a throttle, e.g.
  • the refrigerant evaporates while taking up heat at low temperature (hot cooling).
  • the cycle can then start all over again.
  • the process has to be kept running from outside by supplying mechanical work (driving power) via the compressor.
  • the refrigerant absorbs thermal power at a low temperature level (e.g. a ⁇ 30° C. cold cooling bath) and releases it to the environment at a higher temperature level (e.g. 35° C.) while supplying technical work.
  • the housing of the cooler can be acoustically insulated, e.g. by means of sound insulation panels, in order to minimize a possibly existing compressor noise.
  • the at least one cooling element can be configured as a thermoelectric cooling element, in particular a Peltier element, or as a Joule-Thomson cooler or a mixed Joule-Thomson cooler.
  • a thermoelectric cooling element in particular a Peltier element
  • Joule-Thomson cooler or a mixed Joule-Thomson cooler.
  • high-speed mini-compressors are preferably provided (e.g. mini-compressors of the Aspen 14-12 and 14-24 series by Aspen Compressor LLC).
  • the heat transfer between the cooling bath and the cooling element, on the one hand, and the cooling bath and the beverage bottle, on the other hand, is advantageously maximized in that means for circulating the cooling bath are provided.
  • the circulation of the cooling bath ensures the homogenization of the temperature within the cooling bath, thus constantly maximizing the temperature gradient that is available for the heat transfer.
  • thermodynamic edge effects will thereby be minimized, which would otherwise reduce the heat transfer.
  • the means for circulating the cooling bath comprise a rotor arranged in the chamber, an ultrasonic membrane, a pump or the like.
  • the wall of the chamber is surrounded by a thermal insulation.
  • Said insulation is advantageously comprised of a vacuum insulation.
  • the cooling bath may have a temperature of 0° C. to ⁇ 160° C. to minimize the cooling time such that too long an exposure of the beverage bottle in the cooling device will result in the immediate freezing of the beverage.
  • the control of the temperature of the cooling bath is preferably performed in that a heating element for heating the cooling bath is provided.
  • the heating element is preferably arranged in the chamber and configured as an electric resistance heater.
  • the heating element can advantageously be designed as a heating coil disposed on the wall of the chamber.

  • the control circuit is suitably connected to the cooling element, and if desired to the heating element, via control lines in order to control the cooling and/or heating capacities as a function of the measurements of the temperature sensor.
  • an additional measurement would be conceivable using an infrared measuring device to determine the temperature of the beverage in the beverage container by suitable arrangements, wherein the measurements can be supplied to the control circuit in order to enable precise control.
  • FIG. 1 depicts a cooling device that ensures the cooling of a cooling liquid 4 of a cooling bath by means of a cooling cycle comprising cooling lines 7 and the associated refrigerant source 10 .
  • Said cooling cycle can either be formed by thermoelectric elements or constructed as a compression refrigerating plant. Cooling temperatures ranging from 20° C. to ⁇ 100° C. are preferably used for cooling. If the cooling cycle as depicted in FIG. 1 is configured as a compression refrigerating plant, the cooling lines 7 will be designed as illustrated. In the case of thermoelectric cooling, electrical connections to a voltage source will be established via the cooling lines 7 .
  • Reference numeral 11 symbolizes a control circuit with an associated user display and controller.
  • the cooling bath in which the beverage contained in a beverage container is brought to drinking temperature is delimited from the surrounding environment by a jacket wall 5 and a thermally insulating jacket 3 surrounding the jacket wall 5 .
  • the jacket wall 5 may be made of metal, plastic or any other suitable material.
  • the thermally insulating jacket 3 can be formed by foamed polystyrene or by vacuum insulation. Other materials would, of course, also be suitable for insulation.
  • the jacket wall 5 plus associated jacket 3 may, moreover, comprise a widened portion provided in the central region of the cooling device so as to enable the cooling liquid 4 to evade into the widened portion in order to prevent a spillover of the cooling liquid 4 when introducing a beverage container into the cooling device.
  • the device according to the invention further provides differently large adapters to guarantee uniform liquid displacement and cooling.
  • the cooling bath and the cooling device are, in particular, geometrically adapted in such a manner as to require only very little cooling bath liquid to surround the beverage container by as much cooling liquid 4 as possible.
  • the introduction of a bottle causes the displacement of the cooling liquid and the maximization of the effective cold transfer surface between cooling coil (cooling bath wall)—cooling bath—beverage surface.
  • the cooling elements 1 may be arranged heating elements 2 that are respectively operated by the control lines 8 and the control circuit 11 .
  • the heating elements 2 after a cooling procedure, allow for the rapid heating of the cooling bath temperature to the desired drinking temperature of the beverage in order to prevent further cooling or freezing of the beverage.
  • the device according to the invention can thus also be used for the long-term temperature control of beverages.
  • the configuration according to the invention will thus avoid the bursting of, e.g. glass bottles, because of their freezing contents.
  • a mechanism for “ejecting” the beverage bottles would also be conceivable.
  • the cooling liquid 4 can be set in motion by a rotor 13 or any other means.
  • the thus resulting turbulent flow will additionally enhance the heat transfer.
  • the temperature sensor 6 enables the constant control of the temperature of the cooling liquid 4 and the associated control of the cooling cycle and the heating elements 2 via a control circuit 11 .
  • the temperature sensor 6 is connected to the control circuit via a line 12 .
  • An additional sensory element 9 such as a filling level meter or a temperature measuring means would be conceivable.
  • An array of passage seals 14 prevents the evaporation of cooling liquid 4 , the contamination of the cooling liquid 4 , and the accidental injury to persons through contact with the cooling liquid 4 present in the cooling bath, and possible hypothermia resulting therefrom. In addition, stripping-off of the cooling liquid 4 from the beverage container has thus become possible.
  • the passage seals also provide protection from odor.
