Description

PCr~EP/94/03so3 21 76 705 F.~ApORATOR

The in~rention relate~ to an evaporator which enclose~ a xefrige~ating c~amber o~ a compres6~r-t~pe refrigeratlon unit opcrated wich ~ydrocarbon6 a~ refrigerant and which i9 enclosed on the out~ide by a heat in~ulating layer and is pro~rided between two me~al sheets of the e~aporator ~all, i . e . an inner and an outer metal ~heet, with a meander-shaped refrigerant du~t with a refrigerant inlet and a re~rigexant outlet, wi~h the two metal sheet~ mutually ha~ing a f ixed metallic connection in fonn of welding or ~olderi~g next to and bet~ee~ the refrigerant duct seg~ents, with an additional innex-wall ~heet being pro~rided on the re~rigera~t chamber side ~hich forms the in~e~- wall of the evaporator wall o~ the refrigeran~
char,~er, which i8 pro~ided ~ith a metal su~ace ~t~çt wi~h the inner metal ~heet and which wi~hin the ~urface con~act zone between the inner-wall shee~ and the inner metal ~heet is pro~ided with connecting ~ur~ace~ of th~
welded or soldered type.

~n e~aporator equlpped with the aforemen~ione~ fea~res is ~no.nl. from DE-A-l 426 923. This known e~aporator, howe;er, is ~ot pro~ided ~ith any addi~ional protectlon agai~-st lea-:age~ . With respect to heat PYch~ngers~ in partlc-~lar ~uch o~ the "roll ~o~; ngl~ type, additional plate~ ~o:~ rhe protec~ion again~t leakages were kno~n (~S-A-4 678 027 and EP-~-0 206 416).

In order to form a refrige~ating cham~er, evaporators ar~
regularly shaped from respecti~e plane evaporaror bl~.~k~
~hich - ~en ~haped - fonm ac least the ~our wall~ o~ the rerigerating ~mhe~, e.g. a ~reezer ~t~on, and freguently also the rear wall. Such evaporator blank~ and their production according to the ~o-called roll-bo~ g ;

~ethod are ~hown in D~-C 1 552 044 by way o~ example.
Dur~ng ~he roll-bonding proce6~, where the two layers of the blank are mutually joined by r~ welding with the ~tretchlng of the s~bst~ate, preci~ely delimited areas which form the uture cource o~ the re~rigerant duct are en~ured by separating layer~ ~ade ~rom weld-ob~tructing material. This measure is de~cribed by way of exa~ple in DE-C 1 920 424.

Tn the past only hydrocarbon was u~ed as a refri~erant (CFCs), wherea~ newer refrigeratin~ ~ystem~ use hydrocarbon~ Fuch as isobutane, i~opropane or propane-butane. The6e hydrocarbon~ form an inflammable mixture with air, so that increasingly ex~?lo~io~-protected elect~ical de~ice~ are used in the zone o~ the refrigerating ~h~
ae a preca~tionary mea~ure. In addi~ion, ~ n~ ar~ made ~or additional measures to pre~ent refrigerant leakage6, in partlcula~ towarda the re~rigerating r~mh~

It i~ the ob;ect in accordance with the invention to provide an e~aporator of the kind mentioned abo~e ln such a way that the danger of a refrlgerant leaka~e w~thout any sub3tantial lo~s in the refrigerating ou~put o~ the evaporator i~ reduced.

It i~ therefore p~oposed in accordance with the invention that between ad~ acent connecting surfaces there are t~in separating layers between the inner-~all ~heet and the inn&X ~etal cheet which ha~e a m~ shaped course which 1~ adapted ro the ~n~ r-sh~ couree o~ the refrigerant duc~, ~ut a~e each wider t~an the re~rigerant duct.

Reference i~ hereby made eo embodiments of the invention pursuant to ~he subclalms. Thu~ a ~lrst em~o~;mont pro~ide~
that the connect~g sur~ace~ between the inner-wall ~heet and the inner meeal ~hee~ are li~lted to se~ip-like or 3 2~ 76705 in~ular ~urface segments w~ic~ are dlstr~buted o~r the evaporator wall.

F~rther e~bodiments of the l~vent~on al~o provlde additional oecurity on the out~ide in Buch a way that on the slde of the insulating layer there is pro~iaed an additional outer-~rall sheet which forrns the ou~er wall of the e~aporator wall and has metallic surface contact wich the outer ~etal s~eet, ~nd that within the s~r~ace contact zone between the outer-wall ~heet a~d the outer metal sh~et there are connecting 8urfa~e6 of the soldered or welaed t~p~. Between adjacen~ outer connecting 6urfaces there are pro~ided thin oute~ separatlng layers betwee~ the oute~-~all 6heet and the outer metal ~heet which ha~e a meander-~haped cour~e adapted to the meAn~er-~haped cour3e of the re~rigerant d~ct, ~ut are each wider than said ~e~rige~ant duct.

~ Sl~ilaz to the inner protection it i~ proYided advantageou~ly in this respect that the outex connecti~g ~ur~ace~ between the outer-wall sheet and the outer metal sheet are limi~ed to strip~ e or insular surface ~egme~ts ~hich are distributed o~r the ~a~otator wall.

~n an e~aporator where the fixed metallic co~nec~ion between the inner metal sheet and the outer metal sheet i~
manu~actured by welding under application of roll-weldlng according to the roll _h~Ai ~ method and the refrigerant duct i~ manufactured by infla~ing non-welded zoneQ prior to the ~haping of ~he eva~o~dtor~ the CQ~e~ting s~rfaces between the inner wall and the lnner ~etal sheet or ~e~een the o~t~r wall and the outer metal sheet are produced in one pa~s with the roll-~elding of in~er and outer ~et~l sheet.

The object ~s achieved by the in~ention in a simple way.
~xcept ~or the use of further ~heet~ for th~ inner-wall ~ sheet and, optionally, the outer-wall shee~c the invention doe~ not rec~uire any ~dditional manufacturing wor~c, because t~e welding of the three or four laye~, for example, car~
~e carried out according to the roll-horl~i ng met:hod in one paE3~ and with the exi~ting eq~ipment.
