Device for removing gas from freezing installations by suction

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for cooling products to be cooled, said device comprising a carrier for products to be cooled, a housing, a coolant supply for supplying coolant into the housing, and at least one opening of the housing for supplying and extracting the product to be cooled. At least one channel is provided in the region of the opening for receiving the coolant, said channel being actively connected to a suction-side connection of a fan and comprising an inlet which is arranged outside the housing, adjacent to the opening thereof. Preferably, two channels are provided, said channels being arranged opposite each other, adjacent to the opening, and being embodied in such a way that essentially only heated, gaseous coolant, i.e. which has already fulfilled its cooling purpose, is carried off, while removal by suction of the coolant which has not yet received the heat quantity is prevented from the inside of the housing.
