Description:
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS THEREOF BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to a refrigeration system and components thereof, and in particular, to a system having different temperature zones for cooling various food and beverage articles.

People have used refrigerated devices to cool and freeze food and beverage articles for many years. Traditionally, these devices utilize a compressor functionally connected to an insulated container. The compressor and associated components and piping change the pressure of refrigerant to absorb heat from the insulated container. A fan system circulates air into and inside the insulated container. A temperature control device is typically connected to the compressor. The temperature control device cycles the compressor on and off as needed to maintain a desired temperature in the insulated container.

Cycling a compressor on and off requires a significant amount of energy and results in rather loud noises. Variable capacity compressors have been created to provide a compressor that is continuously operating. The speeds of the compressor can be varied substantially and continuously over a wide range of predefined speeds. Such compressors are disclosed in United States Patent Nos. RE 33,620 to Persem and 4,765,150 to Persem.

Operation of variable capacity compressors, like all compressors, results in frost building up on the heat exchange elements. The compressors must be routinely defrosted so that the compressor may operate optimally. One method of defrosting involves running hot gas either through or near the heat exchange elements. Such defrost mechanisms are disclosed in United States Patent Nos. 4,979,371 to Larson; 3,234,754 to Quick; 3,234,753 to Quick; 3,234,748 to Quick; and 3,645,109 to Quick. None of these mechanisms have been designed or utilized with variable capacity compressors. Further, all these mechanisms utilize extensive networks of tubing and control valves to accomplish defrosting.

Many refrigeration devices also have different temperature zones. For example, the common home refrigerator has a freezer section and a refrigeration section. Creating different temperatures in different sections of a refrigeration device can be accomplished in at least two methods. One method involves using a different compressor for each section. Another method involves using fans or the like to circulate cold air from a colder section to a warmer section. The operation of the fans may be controlled by a temperature control device.

For example, United States Patent No. 4,505,126 to Jones et al. discloses a food product transport system, wherein motorized fans are used to circulate air from one section to another. The fans are positioned in partitions separating the different sections. United States Patent No. 6,000,232 to Witten-Hannah et al. discloses a refrigeration system having a freezer section and a refrigeration section in parallel alignment. This patent further discloses a method wherein motorized fans are used to control the amount of chilled air entering each section. United States Patent No. 5,081,850 to Wakatsuki et al. discloses a refrigerator that has two sections separated by a partition, wherein cool air is circulated throughout the sections and through the partition. All of these devices require the circulation of air from one section to another to create different temperatures in each section.

Accordingly, a need exists for an improved refrigeration system and components thereof that solves these and other deficiencies in the prior art. Of course, the present invention may be used in a multitude of situations where similar performance capabilities are required. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a refrigeration system that is cost-effective to manufacture, efficient to operate, relatively quiet when functioning, and overcomes certain of the deficiencies in the prior art. The invention provides for a refrigeration system and components thereof. In one embodiment, the refrigeration system has a container with at least two different temperature cooling zones, which are separated by a divider. The divider has a wall and a partition spaced apart from each other. The partition has a heat transfer plate, which has a sheet with a heat transfer substance attached thereto. In one embodiment, the refrigeration system is cooled by a compressor system having refrigeration and hot-gas defrost modes. A controller controls and selectably operates the compressor system. Preferably, the compressor system has a variable capacity compressor.

The present invention also provides for a compressor system, which is a closed system, wherein an evaporator is functionally connected to a variable capacity compressor. The compressor system selectably operates in at least a refrigeration mode and a hot-gas defrost mode. During the hot-gas defrost mode, the evaporator is defrosted by circulation of gas therethrough. In one embodiment, the compressor system has a variable capacity compressor connected to a condenser, which is further connected to a drier, which in turn is connected to a hot-gas by-pass valve and a heat exchanger. The hot-gas by-pass valve and heat exchanger are connected in parallel to one another and are both connected to an evaporator. The evaporator is connected to the variable capacity compressor to form the closed system. A controller may selectably open and close the hot gas bypass valve.

While one possible application of the present invention is in connection with residential and commercial refrigeration of food and beverage articles, many other applications are possible and references to use in connection with residential and commercial situations should not be deemed to limit the uses of the present invention. The terms "heat exchanger," "evaporator," "condenser," "capillary tube," "fan," "cabinet," "door," "damper," "compressor," "by-pass valve," and "heat transfer panel" as used herein should not be interpreted as being limited to specific forms, shapes, numbers, or compositions of a heat exchanger, evaporator, condenser, capillary tube, fan, cabinet, door, damper, compressor, by¬ pass valve, and heat transfer panel. Rather, the evaporator, condenser, capillary tube, fan, cabinet, door, damper, compressor, by-pass valve, and heat transfer panel may have a wide variety of shapes and forms, may be provided in a wide variety of numbers, and may be composed of a wide variety of materials. These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description, claims, and accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Illustrative embodiments of a refrigeration system (identified generally as 30) in accordance with the present invention are shown in FIGS. 1 through 12. While the invention may be susceptible to embodiment in different forms, there are shown in the drawings, and herein are described in detail, certain illustrative embodiments with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the invention, and is not intended to limit the invention to those as illustrated and described herein. Additionally, features illustrated and described with respect to one embodiment could be used in connection with other embodiments.

The present invention provides a refrigeration system 30 to cool at least one cooling compartment or cooling zone 35. A cooling system, preferably a compressor system 32, is functionally connected to the cooling zone 35 and effectively cools the cooling zone 35. In a preferred embodiment, a portion of the compressor system 32, specifically an evaporator 66, is positioned inside a cooling zone 35. A fan 68 circulates air inside the cooling zone 35 and past the evaporator 66, thus cooling the air. The refrigeration system 30 may have more than one cooling zone 35. Multiple cooling zones 35 may be separated by at least one heat transfer panel 20.

In one embodiment, shown in FIGS. 1-4, the cooling system is a compressor system 32. The compressor system 32 has a series of components functionally engaged to one another to form a closed system. Refrigerant, variously in the form of liquid or gas, is circulated in the compressor system 32. The compressor system 32 has a compressor 52, which is preferably a variable capacity compressor. Examples of such variable capacity compressors include those disclosed in U.S. PatentNos. RE 33,620 to Persem and 4,765,150 to Persem, which are hereby incorporated in their entireties for all purposes. Variable capacity compressors found effective in the present invention include without limitation those manufactured and sold by Embraco of Joinville, SC, Brazil (sales through Embraco North America of Duluth, GA) such as model VEGY 7H or VEGY 8H. The compressor 52 is connected to a condenser 54. Condensers found effective in the present invention include without limitation those manufactured and sold by Outokumpu Heatcraft USA, LLC. of Grenada, Mississippi. A condenser fan 56, such as model 9906L manufactured and sold by EBM Industries, Inc. of Farmington, Connecticut, may be provided in relation to the condenser 54 to circulate air around the condenser 54. The condenser 54 is connected to a drier 58. Driers found effective in the present invention include without limitation those manufactured and sold by Parker-Hannifin Corp., Climate Systems Division, of Greenfield, Tennessee. In one embodiment, a dual inlet drier is utilized by oriented such that the direr has one inlet and two outlets. The drier 58 is connected in parallel to a hot gas by-pass valve 60 and a capillary tube 62. By-pass valves found effective in the present invention include without limitation those manufactured and sold by Parker-Hannifm Corp., Fluid Control Division, of New Britain, Connecticut, preferably model number 04E20C1-Z01ABBOSO5. While these components may be housed in any portion of the cabinet 34 of the refrigeration system 30, it is preferable that these components are not positioned inside the cooling zones 35.

As shown in FIGS. 2-4, the tubing leading from the capillary tube 62 is connected to a heat exchanger 64. hi the embodiment shown, the heat exchanger 64 is essentially a section of coiled tubing. Heat exchangers found effective in the present invention include without limitation those manufactured and sold by Perlick Corp. of Milwaukee, WI. The tubing leading from the hot gas by-pass valve 60 and heat exchanger 64 join together and are connected to an evaporator 66. The evaporator 66 is preferably positioned in the cooling zone 35. A fan 68, such as those manufactured and sold by EBM Industries, Inc., may be provided to circulate the air inside the cooling zone 35 past the evaporator 66. Evaporators found effective in the present invention include those manufactured and sold by Outokumpu Heatcraft USA, LLC. The evaporator 66 is connected to the compressor 52 via tubing, thereby forming a closed system in which the refrigerant travels. The tubing passes through the heat exchanger 64. A controller 70 is provided to control operation of the compressor system 32. Controllers found effective in the present invention include without limitation those manufactured by Dixell srl of Italy and distributed by Weiss Instruments, Inc. of Holtsville, NY as model number XW60L.

The compressor system 32 operates in at least three modes: refrigeration, hot-gas defrost, and drip. The controller 70 determines the mode of operation of the compressor system 32 based on preset values such as temperature or time. The compressor system 32 operates in refrigeration mode until a preset termination value, such as temperature or time, is met. When such value is met, the controller 70 switches the compressor system 32 to operate in hot-gas defrost mode until a certain preset value, such as temperature or time, is met. Upon meeting this preset-value, the compressor system 32 enters the drip mode. The drip mode allows moisture to drip from the evaporator 66 for a predetermined time. When drip mode is completed, the compressor system 32 may enter a recovery period or return to the refrigeration mode.

When operating in refrigeration mode, the compressor system 32 cools the cooling zone(s) 35. In this mode, the compressor system 32 continuously circulates, evaporates, and condenses a fixed supply of refrigerant in a closed system. As shown in FIG. 4, refrigerant travels in direction C from the compressor 52 into the condenser 54 through the drier 58 into the heat exchanger 64 through the evaporator 66 and back to the compressor 52. The refrigerant is in a low pressure gaseous form when it enters the compressor 52. The compressor 52, either during the compression cycle of a variable capacity compressor or while the compressor is operating as a single speed compressor, increases the pressure of the gas refrigerant and discharges high pressure gas into the condenser 54. In the condenser 54, heat is removed from the high pressure gas resulting in the refrigerant condensing into a liquid, still under high pressure. From the condenser 54, the high pressure liquid refrigerant is fed into the drier 58. During the refrigeration mode, by-pass valve 60 is de-energized or closed. Therefore, the high pressure liquid refrigerant is pushed through the drier 58 and into the capillary tube 62. Refrigerant travels through the capillary tube 62, which is part of the heat exchanger 64. The heat exchanger 64, and in one embodiment the capillary tube 62 decreases the pressure of the refrigerant. The refrigerant is a low pressure liquid as it enters the evaporator 66. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the cooling zone 35, and evaporates and expands into a low pressure gas as it travels through the evaporator 66. Refrigerant returns to the compressor 52 in low pressure gaseous form. This concludes one cycle of the refrigeration mode.

During the refrigeration mode, ice or frost may accumulate on the evaporator 66 of the compressor system 32. This accumulation results in decreased performance and efficiency. In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 2-4, the compressor system 32 has the ability to melt this accumulation or defrost the compressor system 32. According to the invention, this defrost is accomplished through the use of hot gas. Such hot gas defrost mechanisms are disclosed in U.S. PatentNos. 4,979381 to Larson; 3,234,754 to Quick; 3,234,753 to Quick; 3,234,748 to Quick; and 3,645,109 to Quick, all of which are incorporated herein in their entireties for all purposes.

One embodiment of the hot gas defrost mechanism according to the invention is shown in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, when the compressor system 32 operates in hot-gas defrost mode, a fixed supply of medium to high pressure gaseous refrigerant is continuously circulated in the closed system. The by-pass valve 60 is opened thereby allowing the refrigerant to by pass the heat exchanger 64 and thus travel at a higher velocity in the system. Specifically, refrigerant travels in direction G from the compressor 52 through the condenser 54 and into the drier 58. Recall that, in refrigeration mode, the refrigerant is in a low pressure gaseous form when it enters the compressor 52 and is in a high pressure gaseous form when it leaves the compressor 52 to enter the condenser 54, where it is condensed into a high pressure liquid. To the contrary during the hot-gas defrost mode, the condenser 54 does not change the high pressure gas refrigerant into a liquid. The condenser 54 does not change the high pressure gas refrigerant into a liquid because of the relatively high velocity of the gas as it travels through the condenser 54 and the temperature-pressure relationship of the gas relative to the surrounding ambient temperature. The temperature-pressure relationship is such that little to no cooling of the refrigerant occurs.

The gaseous refrigerant is permitted to flow into the drier 58 and then, because the by¬ pass valve 60 is energized or open, the gaseous refrigerant bypasses the heat exchanger 64 and travels directly to the evaporator 66. The heat from the gaseous refrigerant is transferred to the frost accumulated on the evaporator 66. This heat transfer results in the frost melting and the temperature, and thus the pressure, of the gaseous refrigerant decreasing. The gaseous refrigerant then returns to the compressor 52. This concludes one cycle of the hot- gas defrost mode.

As discussed above and shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 9, according to one aspect of the invention, the refrigeration system 30 may have more than one cooling zone 35. The cooling zones 35 are separated by a divider 43. The divider 43 may be permanently, removably, or selectably positioned in the refrigeration system 30. In one embodiment, the divider 43 is bracketed in the refrigeration system 30. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the divider 43 has a wall 39 and a partition 36, arranged in generally parallel relation to each other and spaced slightly apart. As shown in FIG. 10, the spacing between wall 39 and partition 36 is a distance E, and the wall and the partition define a heat exchange chamber 37 therebetween. The wall 39 may have a vent or plurality of vents 41 through which air may circulate. A fan or multiple fans 40 may be positioned in communication with the divider ,43, such as in an opening provided for the purpose in the wall 39, or otherwise in the cooling zone 35, to facilitate air circulation. Fans found effective in the present invention include without limitation those manufactured and sold by EBM Industries, Inc. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, fans 40 may be used to circulate air in a direction A inside the cooling zones 35. The divider 43 transfers heat from one cooling zone 35 to another. To accomplish this transfer, the partition 36 has a heat transfer panel 20. Any number and configuration of heat transfer panels 20 may be used, depending on the desired performance of the refrigeration system 30. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the heat transfer panel 20 has at least one metal sheet 48, which is preferably a sheet of stainless steel. A heat transfer substance 50 is connected in heat transfer relation to the metal sheet 48. The heat transfer substance 50 may also be engaged to the wall 39 or any other section of the cooling zones 35 of refrigeration system 30. The heat transfer substance 50 may be engaged to metal sheet 48 by any method and is preferably attached to the metal sheet by adhesive. The heat transfer substance 50 may be formed of any type of composition, but is preferably formed of closed cell urethane insulation and most preferably of material sold under the commercial name Armaflex. Both the metal sheet 48 and heat transfer substance 50 may be of varying thicknesses D and T respectively depending on a number of characteristics such as the desired heat transfer from one cooling zone 35 to another cooling zone 35 and the number and temperatures of the cooling zones 35.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, a damper 38 is placed in the divider 43. The damper 38 is preferably integrated into the partition 36. The damper 38 allows air to circulate between different cooling zones 35. Depending on the configuration of the damper 38, air may be allowed to circulate from a colder zone 42 such as a freezer to a warmer zone 44 such as a refrigerator or vice versa. Preferably, the damper 38 selectably controls the circulation of air between the cooling zones 35. The damper 38 may have or be functionally connected to a temperature sensitive control. The control monitors the temperature in a given cooling zone 35. The control signals the damper 38 to circulate air between the cooling zones 35 to achieve a desired temperature. For example, in one embodiment, the damper 38 allows cold air to pass from a colder zone 42 to a warmer zone 44. The damper 38 may be a selectably positionable door or partition, a vent system, a fan, or the like. Dampers found effective in the present invention include without limitation those manufactured and sold by Invensys Appliance Controls of Carol Stream, IL as model SK-9019. Such a damper has a panel that pivots between a fully closed position and a position that is open about 90° relative to the fully closed position, thereby regulating the amount of air that passes through the damper.

The refrigeration system 30 and components thereof of the present invention may be used in a variety of applications. One such application is residential, commercial, and industrial food and beverage cooling. Specifically, the refrigeration system 30 and components thereof of the present invention may be used in refrigeration cabinets 34. As shown in FIGS. 5, 8, and 9, the refrigeration cabinets 34 may have a single cooling zone 35 or multiple cooling zones 35 separated by dividers 43. For example, a refrigeration cabinet 34 with multiple cooling zones 35 may have two zones 35 where one zone is a freezer 42 and the other zone is a refrigerator 44. Alternatively, the refrigeration cabinet 34 may have a freezer 42 and a chiller 46. Further, the refrigeration cabinet 34 may have a refrigerator 44 and a chilling zone 46. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 9, the refrigeration cabinet 34 has freezer 42, refrigerator 44, and a chiller 46. The number and relative temperature of the cooling zones 35 may be varied in any number of configurations.

The cabinet 34, and the cooling zones 35 contained therein, may be any shape or size. In one embodiment, the cabinet 34 is designed to fit below a counter or sink. In another embodiment, the cabinet 34 is designed to also function as a bar. The cabinet 34 may be designed to have any finish such as stainless steel, wood, or other finish and to fit into any decor, such as contemporary or traditional. The cabinet 34 may also have any number of doors 33 for accessing a single cooling zone 35 or multiple cooling zones 35. For example as shown in FIG. 9, the cabinet 34 may have three cooling zones 35 with each zone 35 having a single door 33. Each zone 35 may also have multiple doors 33. The doors 33 may be any material or combination thereof. For example as shown in FIG. 9, the doors 33 may be partially or entirely made of glass, metal, wood, or the like. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, shelving 72, racks 74, and the like may be permanently or selectably positioned inside the cooling zones 35.

In addition, a single temperature readout 90, or a plurality thereof, may be provided. A readout 90 may be associated with each cooling zone 35. The readouts 90 allow for easy determination of the temperature of a cooling zone 35.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate different performance and physical characteristics of different refrigeration cabinets 34 employing the refrigeration system 30 and components thereof in accordance with the present invention. The refrigeration systems 30 discussed below each have at least two, and sometimes three, cooling zones 35. The cooling zones are separated by at least one divider 43 that has at least one heat exchange panel 20. The heat exchange panels 20 in each example utilize different thicknesses T of the heat transfer substance 50. The tables associated with each example show the performance of specific cabinets 34 in three separate air temperatures outside of the cooling zone 35 (ambient temperature conditions): 70° F, 90° F, and 110° F. Performance is measured as the BTUs/hour required to maintain the desired temperature inside the cooling zones 35. To arrive at this measurement, three values are multiplied together. These values are Delta T, K- Factor, and the material area of the cooling zone 35 in square feet. Delta T is the temperature difference between the ambient temperature conditions and the temperature inside the cooling zone 35. Delta T is measured in degrees Fahrenheit. K-Factor is the measurement used to quantify the resistance to heat transfer of a component of the cabinet 34. K-Factor is measured in BTU/inch/hour/square foot/degree F.

Example 1 The following tables illustrate the performance of a refrigeration cabinet 34 with two cooling zones 35 when the refrigeration cabinet 34 is surrounded by various ambient temperature conditions. In this example, the refrigeration cabinet 34 measures 48 inches by 24 inches by 34 inches. One cooling zone 35 is a freezer 42 maintained between -5° F and 5° F. The freezer compartment 42 measures 20.5 inches by 20.5 inches by 27 inches. The other cooling zone 35 is a refrigerator 44 maintained between 34° F and 38° F. The refrigerator compartment measures 20.5 inches by 20.5 inches by 27 inches. The freezer 42 and refrigerator 44 each have a single separate door 33 for access thereto. The freezer 42 and refrigerator 44 are separated by a divider 43 measuring 3 inches thick by 20.5 inches by 27 inches. The divider 43 has a partition 36 with heat transfer panel 20 having a 3A inch thick heat transfer substance 50. The heat transfer substance 50 is Armaflex.
