COOLING DEVICES FOR POSITIVE MODE WITH PASSIVE EVAPORATOR
These cooling devices are designed to maintain temperatures above the freezing point (0°C to 10°C) in applications where active air circulation is not necessary or desirable. They are ideal for specific uses in the food industry, hospitality, storage of sensitive products, and in the pharmaceutical industry. Passive evaporators provide a gentler cooling method
Characteristics of the desired device:
KEY COMPONENTS:
QUIET EVAPORATOR:
Passive heat transfer - The evaporator without built-in fans enables heat transfer through natural convection.
Fins and tubes - Designed to increase the surface area for heat exchange, allowing effective air cooling with minimal airflow.
Compressor:
Hermetic or semi-hermetic compressors - Provide stable operation and durability, designed for use in the positive temperature range.
Condenser:
Air-cooled condensers - Commonly used for these applications, enabling efficient air cooling.
Expansion Valve:
Thermostatic expansion valve (TEV) - Precisely controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, maintaining optimal cooling conditions.
Control System:
Digital thermostat - Enables precise temperature control inside the chamber.
Temperature sensors - Continuously monitor conditions and adjust system operation accordingly.
ADVANTAGES OF QUIET EVAPORATORS:
Gentle cooling - Quiet evaporators do not generate strong air currents, making them ideal for products sensitive to drying or damage caused by air circulation.
Even temperature distribution - Natural convection ensures even temperature distribution, maintaining consistent conditions within the storage chamber.
Reduced product drying - Without active air circulation, the risk of dehydration of fresh products such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products is minimized.
Lower operational costs - Fewer moving parts result in lower maintenance costs and reduced energy consumption.
APPLICATIONS:
Food industry
Storage of fresh products - Ideal for fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat, and fish, where reducing dehydration and maintaining quality is crucial.
Wine and beverage storage - Quiet evaporators maintain stable temperatures without strong air currents, which is important for preserving wine quality.
Hospitality
Restaurants and hotels - Storing fresh ingredients and prepared foods, where consistent temperatures without dehydration are essential.
Catering - Preparation and storage of sensitive foods before transport to events.
Retail
Specialty stores - Storing delicatessen, cheeses, and other delicate products that require gentle cooling.
Smaller stores - Storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh products.
Pharmaceutical industry
Storage of medications - Products that require stable temperatures without strong air currents.
Biological samples - Storing samples that cannot be frozen but require stable cold conditions.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning - The interior of the chamber, evaporator, and pipes should be cleaned regularly to prevent contamination and ensure smooth operation.
System inspection - Regular checks of compressors, condensers, and expansion valves ensure proper operation and timely detection of potential issues.
Parts replacement - Timely replacement of faulty components prevents major breakdowns and ensures continuous system operation.
Calibration of control systems - Ensuring thermostats and sensors work properly and precisely control the temperature.
