Apparatus (1) for cooling products (2) comprising at least: - a cooling chamber (3) with a conveyor (4) for conveying the products (2) through the cooling chamber (3), - at least one circulator (5) for circulating a cooling gas within at least a part of the cooling chamber (3), - guiding elements (6) for guiding a flow of the cooling gas, wherein the guiding elements (6) are arranged within the cooling chamber (3) such that an impingement section (7) is formed adjacent to a first side (8) of the conveyor (4), in which the cooling gas can impinge the first side (8) of the conveyor (4) having a first pressure, wherein the conveyor (4) is designed such that the cooling gas can penetrate through the conveyor (4) so as to have a second pressure at a second side (9) of the conveyor (4) opposite the first side (8), wherein the second pressure is lower than the first pressure, and wherein the guiding elements (6) are arranged such as to form at least one backflow channel (10) from the second side (9) of the conveyor (4) to the at least one circulator (5), and wherein the cooling gas can be directed into the impingement section (7) via the at least one circulator (5). With the apparatus 1 products 2 such as food products can be cooled using a cooling gas such a gas comprising nitrogen. With guiding elements 6 a flow of the cooling gas can be guided. Thereby, the products 2 can be cooled particularly energy efficiently.

With the apparatus 1 products 2 such as food products can be cooled using a cooling gas such a gas comprising nitrogen. With guiding elements 6, 7 a particularly uniform flow of the cooling gas can be generated. Thereby, the products 2 can be cooled particularly energy efficiently and at a particularly high cooling rate.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to a container (1) for transporting goods (33, 34) requiring cooling during their transport. The container (1) comprises a housing (2, 3) basically having a cuboid outer shape and at least one outer door (5) to open an access (8) to at least two separate storage volumes (6, 7) in the interior (4) of the housing (2, 3), a cartridge (10) being fillable with a required amount of dry ice (22) arranged in the interior (4) of the container (1) and at least one of the following features: - the cartridge (10) is placed between an upper storage volume (6) and a lower storage volume (7), - the cartridge (10) can be placed at different heights in the housing (2, 3), - the cartridge (10) has at least a first surface area (12) and a second surface area (13) with different thermal insulations (14, 15) versus adjacent storage volumes (6, 7), - the cartridge (10) has an inhomogeneous thermal insulation (14, 15), such that during filling using liquid CO2 the better insulated parts are filled with dry ice (22) first, - the housing (2, 3) contains at least one thermally insulating separating wall (16), - the cartridge (10) has at least one outlet nozzle (11) for blowing an exhaust of CO2 in one or more predetermined directions or receiving storage volumes (6, 7), - the housing (2, 3) contains at least one active ventilation means (19) to guide exhausted CO2 from the cartridge (10) on a certain exhaust gas flow path (21) through the housing (2, 3) to a housing outlet (20). This allows to flexibly using transport containers cooled by dry ice for different kinds and amounts of goods to be transported. It particularly allows adapting containers to different transport tasks and transporting goods, especially fresh food and deep frozen food, with different transport temperatures in the same container.
