Abstract

PURPOSE:To cool and preserve foods in a refrigerator while preventing them from being dried more than needed. CONSTITUTION:Inside the main body of an air washer type unit cooler, a water water spraying device 4, a filler 2 and a water tank 5B are disposed in this sequence from above. A blowing device opposed to the filler 2 is installed so that the blowing direction thereof is at a right angle to the direction of spray. Moreover, the construction is contrived so that cooling spray water and air be made to exchange heat directly with each other inside the filler 2. Since the air passing through the filler 2 can be cooled down and also humidified by the cooling water according to this constitution, the inside of a refrigerator can be kept in conditions of low temperature and high humidity.

[Operation] Inside the main body of the air washer-type unit cooler, a sprinkler, filler, and water tank are installed from above, and a blower that faces the filler is installed in a direction in which the blowing direction is perpendicular to the sprinkling direction. At the same time, cold water is directly passed through this filling material, and the heat of air and cold water is directly exchanged through the filling material, so that the temperature of the air is lowered. Since it can be cooled and humidified at the same time, it is possible to keep the inside of the refrigerator under low temperature and high humidity conditions. Furthermore, by attaching a water splash prevention grill to the side of the cool air outlet of the filling material, it is possible to prevent water splashes and water drops from falling into the refrigerator, and the depth and height direction of the air washer type unit cooler body. It is also possible to easily manufacture by increasing the number of blowers and the number of fillers while keeping the above constant and adjusting only the length direction to the required cooling capacity. Also, by using the ceiling-suspended type, it can be effectively used without obstructing the work place in the refrigerator.

Therefore, the air washer type unit cooler constructed as described above is installed in the refrigerator 10 as shown in FIG. 4 and used by being piped with the chiller 13 and the like outside the refrigerator. In this system, the cold water supplied from the cooling heat source passes from the cold water inlet 4A through the sprinkling pipe 4 in the main body, and is guided to the upper water tank 5A from the outlet hole 8 at the lower part thereof. The cooling water in the upper water tank 5A is guided to a lower part of the upper water tank through a large number of water sprinkling holes 9 formed in the bottom surface of the cooling water, to a diffusion pipe 6 arranged substantially in parallel therewith, and after being diffused, is distributed downward. It evenly drops into the installed filler 2. The cooling water falling in the filling material is brought into direct contact with the air in the refrigerator sent from the blower 1, whereby the air is cooled and humidified. The water that has passed through the filling material is dropped and stored in the lower water tank 5B, and when it reaches a certain water level, it is discharged from the cooling water outlet 5C to the outside of the storage and returned to the cooling heat source again.
