Abstract:
An apparatus (1) for preserving and transporting fresh or frozen products, particularly for thermally insulated containers or the like, comprising at least one heat accumulator (30, 32, 34, 36) associated with a respective inner wall (50, 52, 54) of a container (7), and comprising a plurality of longitudinally extended heat accumulation modules (90, 92, 94), each one comprising an enclosure (11) that delimits a cavity (21) adapted to contain a heat accumulation liquid. The cavity (21) accommodates a heat exchanger (19) that can be supplied with a heat transfer fluid. The heat accumulation modules (90, 92, 94) are mutually connected mechanically and thermally, and in the enclosure (11) has a first wall (13) that faces the inner face (50, 52, 54) of the container (7) and has a substantially flat surface and a second wall (15) that is opposite with respect to the first wall (13), is directed toward the internal compartment (17) of the container (7), and has an at least partially ribbed surface.
Abstract:
An apparatus for preserving, transporting and distributing refrigerated or frozen products (1), particularly for thermally insulated compartments of refrigeration vehicles, refrigeration chambers or the like, comprising one or more heat accumulation elements (3), each comprising an enclosure (5) that delimits a cavity (7) adapted to contain a heat accumulation liquid. The cavity (7) accommodates a heat exchanger (9) that can be supplied with a heat exchange fluid. The enclosure (5) has a first wall (11) that has a substantially flat surface and a second wall (13), arranged opposite the first wall (11), that has an at least partially ribbed surface. The apparatus (1) further comprises ventilation means (15) associated with such heat accumulation elements (3).
