Abstract
A glycol pan chiller is configured in a unique cylinder form factor that achieves new efficiencies in power savings and cooling. A new cylindrical cooling assembly comprises three concentrically disposed cylinders attached together at their respective top ends to create an upper lip area 219 or shelf area that provides top end insulation and a useful shelf area. The concentrically disposed cylinders define an outward void for insulation, a middle void for refrigerant tubing and retained refrigerant or cooling fluid such as glycol and an inner void 224 for food storage and food cooling. Food cooled within the inner void is not dried out as heat transfer occurs without blowing air within the inner void.
Claims15
A cylindrical cooling assembly for cooling food within a cooling chamber, the assembly comprising:
- a) an upper horizontal ring having an inner circular circumference, an outer circular circumference, at top side and a bottom side, attached to an outer band of an outer cylinder;
- b) the outer band comprising an outer circular surface, an inner circular surface, a top side, a bottom side and a circular vertical wall section, the outer band attached to an outer ring of the outer cylinder;
- c) the outer ring of the outer cylinder comprising an outer surface, an inner surface, at top side and a bottom side;
- d) the outer cylinder attached to the outer ring of the outer cylinder, the outer cylinder comprising an outer wall, an inner wall, a top side and a bottom side, the outer cylinder attached to a bottom plate;
- e) a middle tank disposed within the outer cylinder, the middle tank attached to a circular ring of the middle tank and the circular ring attached to an inner cylinder disposed within the middle tank;
- f) the inner cylinder comprising a top side, a bottom side, an outer wall and an inner wall defining the cooling chamber.
