Abstract
The present invention relates to a cooling device 100, in particular a freezer, comprising a cooling circuit 200 having a compressor 210, at least one evaporator 220, and a condenser; a space for cooling goods 300 that can be closed at its upper surface; and a coolant reservoir 400 at least partially surrounding an upper region of the space for cooling goods 300, wherein the at least one evaporator 220 is disposed in the coolant reservoir 400, and wherein the at least one evaporator 220 at least partially surrounds the upper region of the space for cooling goods 300.
Claims16
A cooling device (100), in particular a freezer, comprising:
- a cooling circuit (200) having a compressor (210), at least one evaporator (220), and a condenser;
- a space for cooling goods (300) that can be closed at its upper surface;
- and
- a coolant reservoir (400) at least partially surrounding an upper region of the space for cooling goods (300), wherein the at least one evaporator (220) is disposed in the coolant reservoir (400), and wherein the at least one evaporator (220) at least partially surrounds the upper region of the space for cooling goods (300).
The cooling device (100) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the coolant reservoir (400) completely surrounds the upper region of the space for cooling goods (300), in particular wherein the coolant reservoir (400) completely surrounds an upper circumferential region of the space for cooling goods (300).
The cooling device (100) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the upper region of the space for cooling goods (300), that is at least partially surrounded by the coolant reservoir (400), corresponds to 10% to 90% of a height of the space for cooling goods (300), in particular wherein the upper region of the space for cooling goods corresponds to 40% to 60% of the height of the space for cooling goods (300).
The cooling device (100) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the coolant reservoir (400) is an upwardly open coolant reservoir (400).
The cooling device (100) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the coolant reservoir (400) has a U-shaped cross section.
The cooling device (100) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the coolant reservoir (400) comprises external walls (412) that are formed at least partially wavy.
The cooling device (100) according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising a cooling space (110) having four cooling space sidewalls (112), a cooling space base (114) and a lid that is designed to close the space for cooling goods (300) at its upper surface.
The cooling device (100) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the cooling device (100) is designed to provide a temperature in a certain range of especially +2 to +8° C. in the space for cooling goods (300).
The cooling device (100) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the cooling device (100) is a freezer for storing and transport of medical products.
