Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved refrigeration system which is characterized by a unique arrangement for efiiciently maintaining refrigeration.
- the invention is particularly directed to devices of the type which are capable of maintaining a refrigerated state within an enclosed space while still providing an opening for access to the contents.
- the air curtain in these constructions is adapted to be formed of adjacent panels of air, with the innermost panel comprising a refrigerated cold air panel, and with one or more outer panels having temperatures approaching the ambient temperature. It has been found that it is desirable to recirculate the inner cold air panel and to provide means for circulating the adjacent guard panels, to conserve the refrigeration and to maintain the enclosed space in a satisfactory refrigerated state.
- assemblies which include nozzles extending across the bottom edge of the access opening to direct the air panels upwardly across the opening towards inlets which extend across the top side of the access opening.
- the nozzles are located across the upper edge for projecting the air panels downwardly toward inlets arranged aacross the bottom edge.
- the air nozzles be located across one of the lateral edges of the opening for directing the corresponding air panels across the opening toward inlets in the opposite edge. Because of the more desirable effect of gravity on the higher density cold air, it has been found preferable to provide the air curtain with a downward movement from nozzles across the top to inlets across the bottom. The following description will refer to this preferred construction, although it will be understood that the con cepts to be described are also applicable to other directions of flow.
- FIGURE 1 is a schematic elevation in section of a refrigerated enclosure characterized by the features of this invention.
- FIGURES 2 and 3 illustrate schematically alternative passage and nozzle constructions characterized by the features'of this invention.
- the improvements of this invention are directed to refrigerated enclosures of the type which define an access opening in one wall, which is provided for communication with the otherwise enclosed space.
- the enclosures are provided with a plurality of nozzles arranged in side-by-side relationship across one edge of an access opening, and corresponding inlets are located across an opposite edge of the access opening.
- the inner nozzles and inlets are provided for the passage of refrigerated streams across the access opening, while the outer nozzles and inlets circulate progressively warmer air panels.
- the inner refrigerated streams are circulated through passages having refrigeration coils or the like situated therein, and one or more of the outer streams may also be refrigerated.
- one or more of the inner streams of air are powered as by circulating fans located in the cabinet passages.
- An outer stream of air is adapted to circulate through an outer passage.
- circulating fans are not provided for powering this stream.
- This outer stream is adapted to circulate by means of contact with an adjacent powered stream as the air panels formed by the streams pass across the access opening of the cabinet. Since the outer panel is effectively dragged along through frictional contact with the adjacent panel of the powered stream, the outer stream will inherently move at a slower average speed.
- adjacent streams are powered so that they move at different speeds to accomplish the desired effect.
- this form of the invention provides for a greater speed in the innermost of two adjacent streams, with progressively decreasing speeds prevailing in panels formed by outer streams.
- a cabinet having a pair of inner powered streams with an outer stream circulated through contact with an adjacent powered stream represents one possible combination of the above described concepts.
- the accompanying drawing illustrates a refrigerated cabinet which is characterized by means for practicing the invention.
- the cabinet includes a top wall 12, bottom wall ld, back wall. 16 and afront wall 18.
- the structure defined by thesewalls is located on a support 20.
- the frontwall 18 defines an opening 22 which provides access ro-an enclosed refrigerated space 24.
- the inner wall 26 defines the extent of the refrigerated space.
- a pair of partitions 28 and 30 are located intermediate the inner andouter walls and define with these walls passages -32, 34, and 36.- These passages confine air streams which are adaptedto be circulated through the cabinet.
- the streams inthe embodiment illustrated form laminar panels-38,- 40, and 42 which pass across the access opening.
- Screens 48 can be provided over inlet openings 46 for -thepassages in order to prevent entry-of insects or othenforeign material.-
- Nozzles 44 are provided at theendsof each of the passages, and the air streams pass through these nozzles toward inlets46 which communicate with the passages at the opposite end of the access opening.
- the nozzles 44 preferably comprise constructions of the type disclosed in co-pending application Ser; No. 91,875 entitled Refrigerated Display Case and Elements Thereof. Such nozzles may comprise aplurality of parallel, longitudinally spaced vanes or members which subdivide the noz zle into a number of closely separated parallel passages.
- the nozzles form a continuation of the passages which confine the streams circulating through the cabinet housing i
- the nozzle sections are formed of honeycomb which may be manufactured of sheet aluminum. The vmost satisfactory honeycomb sections havea depth greater than /2 inch and preferably greaterthan one to two inches so that streams of air issuing from the honeycomb will be guides in laminar flow across the access opening in the front wall of the cabinet.-
- the inner passage 36 is provided with a circulating-fan 50 and a refrigeration means 52.
- the air panel formed in this passage is adapted to be circulated by means of the fan into contact with the refrigeration means and then passes out. throught-he innermost nozzle 44-as the refrigerated panel 42.
- the innermost stream is thus the coldest stream, while the streams and 38- are progressively warmer.
- this arrangement permits access through the front opening of the cabinet while still providing an effective refrigerating operation.
- a circulating fan 54 is provided for the intermediate In accordance with the concepts of this invention, the fan 54 is adapted to operate at lower speed so that the panel 40 will move more slowly than the panel 42.
- the outer passage 32 could be eliminated, providing either two passages each having a circulating fan, or two passages with only the fan 5.4. If three passages are retained, alow capacity circulating fan could be provided for the outer stream.
- nonpowered stream could be employed in combination with two or more inner streams which operate at the same speed.
- differential operation of the outer stream even if the same speeds prevail in the two inner streams.
- fast moving innermost stream could be utilized in combination with twoor more outer streams moving at the same speed.
- the outermost stream 38 will create a minimum of turbulence with the ambient air at the face 62 of this stream. This is the case, since the average velocity of this stream is low, and since the outermost portions of this stream will necessarily have 2. below average velocity. Accordingly, the small turbulence created does not cause inflow of warm air to any great extent.
- the speed of the inner refrigerated stream is maintained at about 400 ft. per minute, while the adjacent guard panel is moved at about 275 ft. per minute. Where an outer panel is employed, it is pulled along at an average speed between 50 and 75 ft. per minute. As previously suggested however, the relative speeds are determined with a view toward maintaining laminar flow and eliminating turbulence. It will be understood that many combinations of speed are available for use.
- the various speed values can be changed to suit different conditions such as the desired temperature within the cabinet, the prevailing ambient temperature and similar conditions. It has been found that speeds in the inner panel in excess of 300 ft. per minute provide the results of this invention, while the adjacent guard panel can be maintained at speeds between 200 and 300 ft. per minute. The true limiting factor on the values, however, is related to the effect of the speeds on the turbulence in the various planes made up by the faces and interfaces of the streams. Thus, the speed of the adjacent guard panel is maintained at a sufficiently high level to provide slippage between these laminar streams thereby avoiding turbulence at the interface of these streams. If an outer panel is employed, the speed is preferably maintained below about 100 ft. per minute, or at a level which minimizes creation of turbulence between the stationary ambient air and the slow moving guard panel.
- the invention is intended to cover the use of means adapted to control the movement of portions of a panel, such as the panel 40, whereby the innermost portions of the panel move faster than adjacent portions, with a progressive decrease in speed to the outer portions.
- FIGURES 2 and 3 illustrate two examples of means capable of effecting this result. It will be appreciated from the following discussion that variations in the design of these means will produce substantially the same results and various other mechanisms for producing these results will be obvious to skilled observers.
- FIGURE 2 The structure shown in FIGURE 2 comprises a passage 70 extending to an outlet opening 72.
- a honeycomb section 72 is fitted into the outlet in the manner previously described.
- a plurality of vanes 76 are positioned to extend across the passage upstream of the outlet and it will be noted that these vanes are equally spacedapart at their leading edges. The spacing between the vanes changes toward the trailing edges thereof in a manner such that a progressively increasing spacing toward the outside of the passage results at the exit ends of the vanes.
- the vanes 76 When a stream of air is circulating through the passage 70, the vanes 76 will divide the streams into equal portions. Since the same amount of air must pass through openings of a different volume, the speeds of the air will vary in a corresponding manner. By providing the progressively increasing openings toward the outside of the passage 70, the innermost stream will move faster than the adjacent stream and this adjacent stream will move faster than the next stream and so on. When these portions of the streams pass through the honeycomb section and across the access opening, they will move at different speeds, however, the speeds are regulated by the design of the vanes so that turbulence will not be set up by the adjacent portions of the stream. Accordingly, these portions will move as individual laminar panels across the access opening.
- FIGURE 3 illustrates an alternative structure which includes a passage provided with a honeycomb sec tion 82.
- the passages in the honeycomb section are shorter in the innermost portions of this section and become progressively longer toward the outer portions of the honeycomb. With this arrangement, the air passing through the section will move faster through the inner portions thereof since there will be less drag in these portions.
- the air panel passing out of the honeycomb section will comprise a plurality of individual sections moving progressively slower in a direction toward the outside of the cabinet.
- the provision of the differential velocities in the moving streams preserves refrigeration and, at the same time, effects uniformity of temperature within the enclosure.
- the elimination of a circulating fan for the outer stream decreases the original cost of the apparatus and provides greater economy in its operation.
- the provision of the third circulating stream also acts as an additional buffer or barrier, preventing inflow of heat.
- the provision of a third circulating stream and its associated passage provides for catching of relatively cold air which would otherwise spill onto the floor outside the cabinet. By avoiding loss of this air, a maximum amount of refrigeration is preserved and, in addition, discomfort to those standing at the front of the cabinet is avoided.
