Abstract
A glycol pan chiller comprises a cooling area 110 cooled by glycol contained within a glycol void area 130, the void area defined within an inner liner 160. Under normal conditions, the glycol will remain stationary within the inner liner and will be chilled by a Freon line 140 contained within the glycol void area. For optional cooling, a separate glycol tank 230, stored away from the inner liner, is cooled by the Freon system, upon the cooling area 110 reaching a predetermined temperature, cooled glycol is circulated within the glycol void area.
Claims10
A food cooling system, the system comprising:
- a) an inner liner, the inner liner comprising an outer wall connected to an inner wall, the inner wall and outer wall defining a glycol void area, and an inside area of the inner wall defining a cooling area;
- b) a Freon flow line disposed within the glycol void area;
- c) glycol disposed within the glycol void area, the glycol in contact with the Freon flow line;
- d) the Freon flow line containing circulating Freon, the Freon cooled by use a compressor, condenser and evaporation coil;
- e) the glycol within the glycol void area cooled by contact with the Freon flow line;
- f) the glycol disposed within the glycol void area having a pipe line to a glycol tank, the glycol tank comprising glycol and a second freon flow line, the second Freon flow line in direct contact with the glycol within the glycol tank cooling the glycol within the glycol tank;
- and
- g) a thermostat and control valve measuring the temperature within the cooling area, and connected to a glycol pump, the thermostat and control valve activating the glycol pump upon the cooling area exceeding a predetermined temperature.
