, y 13 Claims.
This invention relates to-refrigerator cars used to transport perishable commodities at a predetermined temperature. 'Ihe essentialfeatures of a refrigerator car are an insulated body to prevent or retard ingress of heat during warm weather and egress of heat during cold weather and a cooling or heating means depending upon the prevailing outside temperature.
This invention applies particularly to cars in which the cooling means, preferably containers for Water ice, eutectic ice, brine or dry ice, are suspended immediately below the ceiling of the car. The lading is supported in spaced relation to the iioor by a foraminous rack. Flues, preferably associated with the side walls of the car, communicate between the refrigerant compartment and the space under the oor rack to provide a path for the circulation of air. path isfrom the refrigerant compartment downwardly through the aforementioned flues, through the space under the floor rack, and upwardly through the lading compartment to the refrigerant compartment. Y
Refrigerator cars ofthe above-mentioned type are commonly built with a series of refrigerant containers positioned near each side wall so that air cooled by tanks near one wall flows through the ue associated with that wall. Similarly air cooled by the containers near the opposite wall flows through a flue associated with said opposite wall. I. claim as my improvement the provision of tanks extending .between the side walls of the car. Air cooled by one tank preferably flows .through a flue associated with one Wall while air cooled by the adjacent tank preferably ows through a flue associated with the opposite wall. In other words, nues are associated with both side walls of the car and cold air is supplied to either liue by alternate containers. AThe advantages of the improvement which I have described are as follows:
The refrigerant containers can be secured directly to the refrigerator car Walls and used to support the car roof as wellas serve as containes,4 thus eliminating considerable structure from the upper part of the oar.
The provision of greater refrigerant capacity due to the elimination of space at the center of the car between tanks. The entire space below the roofis used for refrigerant in my improved construction.
The containers can also be used as a support for the roof insulation because the containers extend continuously between the side walls of the car.
The
.car embodying myinvention.
'Ther reductionA Vin the number of hatches through which the refrigerant is loaded reduces cost of refrigerant loading, particularly the cost of removal and replacement of hatch. plugs'and covers. K Y
The refrigerant, which has a very considerable mass, is moved from near the eaves of the car to adjacent the center, thereby providing a more stable car less likely to froll during service movements. Y y y A greater surface is providedfor contact ofthe air with the refrigerant container, thereby pro# Viding a more efficient refrigerating system and lower temperature of the air circulated to the la'ding compartment of the car. The duct under the refrigerant container in which air is cooled during flow therethrough is longer, thus providing greater velocity and there# fore greater air circulation through the.. lading compartment.
It may be desirable undercertain conditions to use semi-foraminous refrigerant containers so that a portion of the melted refrigerant may flow through the fiues, thus further cooling the air` Other advantages of my improvement will be apparent from the following detailed description by referring to the drawings in which: f
Fig.A lis a transverse section of a refrigerator Fig. 2. is a fragmentary section similar to Fig. 1 but taken on a plane spaced from thef'plane of Fig. 1. I
Fig. 3 is alongitudinal section on line 3-3 of Fig. 1. y
Fig. 4 Vis a diagrammatic plan view of the car shown in Figs. 1 to 3.
Figs. 5to 7 are diagrammatic plan views show-v ing modified constructions.
mentioned hereinafter are positioned within the chamber I2 and hatches are provided in the roof 2 for loading refrigerant into said containers.
Fig. 1, which is a section on line of Fig. 4, shows a drip pan 30 sloped downwardly toward the ue 9. The container 3| has a bottom 32 whose slope conforms substantially to the slope of the drip pan 36 and is spaced therefrom to provide the duct 35. An air inlet duct 31 is provided for entrance of air from the lading compartment 38 to the duct 35 where it is cooled by contact with the bottom 32 of the container 3| and thence circulates through the flue 9 and space 1 to the lading compartment 38. Thearrows 4|! show the path of the circulating air.
Fig. 2 as shown in the plan of Fig. 4,'.is on .a plane parallel with and spaced from the plane of Fig. 1. The container 50 has a bottom 5| sloping downwardly toward the iiue Hl.v The'drip pan 53 likewise slopes downwardly toward the flue I and is spaced from the botom 5| to provide .the duct .54 .which communicates with the flue l0. iA hatchf-56.ispreferablyprovided onthe opposite side of the carfrom thehatch 51 of Fig. l. `As .shownin Fig. .4,.the carlis thus provided with containers 3| and hatches 5'! alternating with containers D and hatches l56. .Thelarrows 40 show thedirection of air flow in/thefducts35 under the containers-3| while thearrows-SS show therdirectiorrof air ow in theducts 54 under-the containers 50.
The side Wall is preferably supported by vertical frame .members or posts 1.9, `8|) disposed within the flues .9, l0 and positioned lto divide said lues intoa plurality of .,sections. The posts 19, 80 are positioned `substantially .as shown in Fig. 4 so that the flue 9 .is .divided into a plurality of sections-8| and .thefiue I0 is divided into a plurality .of .sections 82. It should be noted that air flowing under the containers V5|) in the direction indicated by the `arrows 59 ows, `partly to one side and partly to the other sideof the post .80, into .the sections .82. Similarly, air `flowing under the containers A3| inthe direction indicated Vbythearrows 46 flows to the sections 8|. Eachside wall fiue is thereby provided .with 1a supply of cold air throughout substantially its entire length. If `additional posts are required, they would be disposed between the posts 19, 8D and perforated so .that air could permeate to all parts of theues 9, lo. The containers.3|, 50 are preferably secured to the side walls 3,:4.as.by therivets .62. This arrangement permits the elimination ofthe `conventional carlines and other `roof frame, members, the'containers functioning .as carlines. `The tops 63 of the containers may functionas retainers to hold the roof insulation |6 in place.
Fig. 3 shows a longitudinal section through the hatch 51 and container 3| as shown in Fig. `1. Fig. 3 also shows the end portions of two 'containers 50 which are positioned on either side of the container `3| as shown in Fig. 4. The transverse members 65 have oppositely inclined surfaces 66, 61 on the lower sides thereof. 'The surface 66 is inclined to conform to the slope of the drip pan 30 and the surface 61 is inclined to conform to the slope of the drip pan 53. The drip pans 36, 53 are rigidly secured to the members 65 to Aprevent ow of air therebetween into thefchamber |2. Corrugated protecting ,pans 69 may be provided on the upper' surfaces of the drip pans 30, 53, the corrugations servingto keep condensation or melted refrigerant distributed thereover. The members 13 in Figs. 1 and-Zmay be provided to prevent moisture from condensing on the containers and falling on the lading.
Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the similar containers 3| and 50 are arranged in pairs. It is not intended to limit the invention to similar containers arranged singly or in pairs but it is desired to include groups of three, four or even more containers from which air circulates to the same side of the car.
Fig. 6 shows diagrammatically an arrangement in which two drip pans are preferably spaced from the bottom of each container 15. One of such drip pans is inclined like the drip pan 30 in Fig. 1, therebydirecting circulating air to `the/iue 9, .as .shown by arrows 16 in Fig. 6. The other of such .drip pans is inclined like the drip pan 53 in Fig, 2, thereby directing circulating air to the flue |),.as` shown by arrows 11 in Fig. 6.
Fig. '7 shows a modification in which the hatches are positioned adjacent the walls to which .theair in theiducts under Lthe containers ows. The arrowsshow thedirection ofriiow of 'said air.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the1pre ferred form of theinvention, thoughrit is robe understood :that the invention is `not; 'limited to the exact details` of construction .shown and Idescribed, as it is obvious .that 'various modifications thereof, within thescopaof theclaims, will occur to Apersonsskilledin .theart I claim:
