Abstract
A glycol pan chiller is combined with a gas range system to allow for convenient cooking and chilled food storage. A disclosed glycol pan chiller system comprises a first food 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. A second food cooling area is cooled by use of glycol or other fluid contained within the glycol void area. The second food cooling area does not require the use of a separate Freon cooling system.
Claims10
A two compartment 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 first food 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, and condenser;
- 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 connected to a pipe line, the pipe line connected to an evaporation coil and fan system disposed within a second food cooling area.
A method of cooling food, within a two compartment cooling system, the method comprising:
- a) using 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 internal wall defining a first food cooling area;
- b) using a Freon flow line disposed within the glycol void area;
- c) using glycol disposed within the glycol void area, the glycol in contact with the Freon flow line;
- d) using the Freon flow line containing circulating Freon, the Freon cooled by use a compressor, condenser and evaporation coil;
- and
- e) using the glycol within the glycol void area to cool a second food cooling area by use of an evaporation coil and fan system used to blow air within the second food cooling area.
