DESCRIPTION

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANING SYSTEM FOR CONTAINERS AND TRUCKS INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD

Apparatus for installing in containers and trucks in order to keep the air inside clean throughout transport, especially on long-haul trips.

STATE OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE

In the fruit and vegetable transport industry, ethylene absorbers with different shapes and applications are used. For example, simply installing filters in refrigerated containers or trucks, bags in each vegetable box, leaves that cover a large part of the fruits or equipment that recirculates the air in the cold rooms through ethylene filters. But these methods are insufficient for long-distance transport, where the air flow that has to circulate to maintain the necessary environment has to be very high and where the absorbent substances have to have special characteristics. We can mention multiple inventions on the subject of food preservation based on devices to be placed in storage and transport media, such as Chinese patent CN202387351 claims a device for the suppression of ethylene in order to preserve fruits and vegetables in a refrigerated place. US5795370 is an American patent that claims a system to control the atmosphere of a container, as well as European EP0565291, which describes a similar system. The Spanish ES2080901, corresponding to the European EP0467668, is also aimed at maintaining a controlled atmosphere inside a container.

But none of these procedures have an air flow forced by a suitable engine, nor does it include a germicide nor do the filters contain sepiolite and activated carbon.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

Set formed by a motor with its corresponding fan, which drives air through a turbine. That air passes through a germicide, then passing through filters that are the ones that clean the environment inside the container or the truck where it is located. The filters are composed of sepiolite and activated carbon.

The system acts not only in the elimination of ethylene, but its absorption power eliminates odors from other perishable goods such as loads of fish or meat among others, considerably reducing the colonies that are created inside the

refrigerated containers or trucks, as well as the elimination of viruses or pathogens thanks to its UV-C germicide system.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 represents the whole environmental cleaning system, with its components. Figure 2 is a schematic of a truck equipped with this system. The left part of the drawing represents the driver's cab and the right part of the drawing, the rear part of the truck with its doors open.

DETAILED EXHIBITION OF AN EMBODIMENT

In the upper part of figure 1, it can be seen how a motor with its corresponding M / V fan is placed, which blows air through the turbine T, forcing it to pass through the germicide G, of the UV-C type, and finishing its passage through the filters F.

The engine works at 24 volts, which is the normal current available in a truck, at a rate of about 2,500 to 3,000 revolutions per minute, approximately, moving between 400 and 1,300 cubic meters / hour, according to the specific needs of each case. Although the filters may be made of alumina, the performance required in these cases means that the filters must be composed of sepiolite and activated carbon, impregnated with potassium permanganate. The proportion of each component depends on the products to be transported, trying to find a balance between efficiency and cost. The filters are tubular between 4.5 and 7.5 cm in diameter, these in turn are covered with a non-woven fabric of high perspiration and liquid repellent, retaining solid particles and preventing excess moisture from staining the permanganate.

Looking at figure 2, we see that the SL environmental cleaning system is located on the inside roof of the C truck, while the ER cooling equipment is usually located behind the wall behind the driver's back. Fresh air circulates entering the 4 sides of the system, leaving the filters, once clean.
