Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling the temperature in a climate chamber (21), in which a flow of air is guided through the climate chamber (21), the temperature of which air flow is controlled with the aid of a heat exchanger, and the air flow is brought to the desired temperature with the aid of a first heat exchanger prior to or during the introduction of the air flow into the climate chamber, and in which method the air flow in the climate chamber (21) is forced past a second heat exchanger, during which process any heating or cooling of the air flow is negated. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the above method.

Method for controlling the temperature in a climate chamber in which a flow of air is guided through the climate chamber, in order to heat or cool product located in the climate chamber, wherein the temperature of the airflow is controlled with the aid of a heat exchanger, and the air flow is brought to a desired temperature with the aid of a first heat exchanger prior to or during the introduction of the air flow into the climate chamber, characterized in that the method comprises:
- a. introducing the air flow into the climate chamber,
- b. guiding the air flow over product situated in the climate chamber,
- c. forcing the air flow in the climate chamber past a second heat exchanger, during which process any heating or cooling of the air flow is negated,
- d. guiding the air flow over product situated in the climate chamber downstream of the second heat exchanger.
Climatic device comprising:
- a climate chamber, having a bottom wall, a top wall, a front and rear side wall and a first and a second end wall,
- means for heating or cooling the air in the climate chamber, the said means being accommodated in the said chamber, and
- ventilation means for generating an air flow through the climate chamber, in which device the end walls are air-permeable, the ventilation means being used to generate an air flow from the first end wall, through the climate chamber, towards the second end wall, and the device comprising preheating or precooking means for bringing the air flow to the correct temperature prior to or during the passage of the air flow through the first end wall, wherein at least one air-permeable partition is incorporated between the end walls, in which partition the heating or cooling means are accommnodated.
