Definitions

  • a method and a system for production of loose ice at large capacity A method and a system for production of loose ice at large capacity.
  • the present invention relates to the production of loose ice at large capacity.
  • conventional small scale ice production the ice is formed by contact freezing and then broken off the freezer surface, but in large scale production such a method is far too expensive.
  • a more suitable method or production principle is dis ⁇ closed in the German Patent Specification No. 917.491, in which it is proposed that water is sprayed into a vacuum chamber holding such a low pressure that the water tends to evaporate almost instantaneously, where ⁇ by the associated temperature drop by evaporation causes the remaining water to freeze.
  • the ice may be sluiced out continually from the vacuum chamber without giving rise to loss of vacuum, and the major problem, of course, will be to remove the considerable amounts of vapour and maintain the high vacuum anyway. This will require a large capacity compressor operable to handle the vapour
  • the vapour as exhausted from the vapour compressor is supplied to a condenser which is cooled by active refrigeration so as to operate at a condensation temperature at or only slightly above the freezing temperature of the water, whereby the vapour is compressed by means of a centrifugal compressor through a single or at most a few compressor stages.
  • a condenser which is cooled by active refrigeration so as to operate at a condensation temperature at or only slightly above the freezing temperature of the water, whereby the vapour is compressed by means of a centrifugal compressor through a single or at most a few compressor stages.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that a possible reduction of the necessary number of compression stages will be particularly important if or when the re ⁇ maining stage or stages refer to the low pressure end of the pressure range in question.
  • the density of the vapour is very low, and the first and only stage or the first few stages of the vapour compressor, therefore, may be designed in a relatively simple manner for handling the required large flow of vapour, while higher compressor stages tend to be increasingly more complicated and expensive.
  • a refrigeration system for the active cooling of the vapour condenser will be a con ⁇ siderably simpler measure than the provision of a multi ⁇ stage high capacity compressor, because the required compressor of a single or a few stages shall handle the vapour solely in the lowermost end of the pressure and density range thereof, whereby the compressor may be re- latively simple and inexpensive.
  • the required refrigerat ⁇ ing system may also be a simple system, e.g. of an already existing standard type, because in operation the cooling requirements will not go below the freezing temperature of the water.
  • the invention relates to both a method and a system and is defined more precisely in the appended claims.
  • the invention is described in more ' detail with reference to the drawing which shows schematic ⁇ ally a system according to the invention.
  • the system shown comprises a heat insulated vacuum chamber 2 having a bottom outlet sluice 4.
  • a small vacuum pump 6 is provided for compensating for the loss of vacuum which is unavoidably caused by the sluicing out of the material, and the pump 6 is usable even for building up the required vacuum prior to the operational start of the system.
  • Midways in the chamber 2 is provided a water inlet nozzle 8 to which water is supplied from a water supply source 12 through an inlet pipe 10 and through a deaerator 40.
  • an auxiliary refrigeration system generally designated A and used for cooling the vacuum chamber 2 through a cooler unit 3 and optionally for cooling the inlet water to the nozzle 8 in 'a cooler unit 14.
  • a water vapour compressor 16 which is operable at high capacity to suck up the vapour from the chamber 2 and discharge the vapour flow into a heat insulated conduit 18 leading to a condenser 20, the cooling element 22 of which is constituted by an evaporator unit of a refrigeration system as shown in the left hand side of the drawing.
  • This system comprises a refrigeration compressor 24, a condenser 26 and an evaporator as constituting said cooling element 22 and designed as an evaporator condenser in connection with an associated liquid separator 28 for the refrigerant.
  • an evaporator unit with self circulation of the refrigerant but of course other types of evaporators may be used.
  • the suction side of the refrigeration compressor is connected with the top of the separator 28.
  • the system is adapted to work at an evaporator temperature of ca. 0 C, while the auxiliary refrigeration system A as shown to the right is adapted to produce lower temperatures.
  • the condenser 20 has a bottom Outlet 34 for the condensed water vapour, and this water is passed through a pressure pump 36 and a pipe 38 back to the water supply pipe 10 or through a pipe 39 for some other purpose.
  • a vacuum of ca. 2 T 5 mm Hg is built up in the heat insulated system 2,18,20 by means of the vacuum pump 6 or by other means. Thereafter the compressor 16 is started, and the water supply to the diffusor nozzle 8 is opened upon both the main and the auxiliary refrigeration systems having been started.
  • the water sprayed out from the nozzle 8 will be subjected to a sudden pressure drop to said ca. 2 5 mm Hg, whereby the water will boil up and get cooled by the associated vivid evaporation so as to assume a temperature of ca. -7 C, whereby the remaining free water in the water fog or drops will rapidly freeze into ice, i.e. it will form snow or ice particles.
  • ca. 6/7 will freeze to snow or ice, while 1/7 will be separated as vapour. The freezing will take place almost momentarily, such that no non-frozen water, possibly in supercooled condition will reach the walls
  • the produced mass of snow or ice particles is let out through the bottom sluice 4 to a suitable receptacle 34, and the generated water vapour is continually sucked out by means of the compressor 16.
  • the compressor 16 is designed so as to effect a pressure rise of the vapour from said ca. 2.5 mm Hg to ca. 6 mm Hg. in the conduit 18, corresponding to a temperature rise from ca. -7 C to ca. +5°C.
  • the condenser 20 is operated at an interior evaporator temperature of ca. 0 C, and by exterior condensation of the vapour at ca. 5 C corresponding to a pressure of ca. 6 mm Hg the condensate will be prevented from freezing.
  • the condensed water will constitute a real destillate and may, upon delivery from the pressure pump 36, be collected for sale as distilled water, though with the limitation that the water has not been heated to pasteurization temperature and cannot, therefore, be designated as sterile. However, it will be perfectly usable for many technical fields of application, though produced at such high amounts that it may be difficult to find use for all of it.
  • the water should possibly be regarded as clean waste water, or it may, as shown, be returned to the water supply 10 to the nozzle 8, whereby it will be advantageous that the temperature of the return water will normally be lower than that of the water as supplied from the source 12. It should be remarked, however, that for the operational economy of the system it is in fact not too important whether the supply water is particularly cold, because the production of cold by the evaporation of the water in the vacuum chamber is much larger than the amount of heat which is represented by a slightly decreased temperature of or in the inlet water itself.
  • the system illustrated on the drawing is adapted to produce loose ice at a capacity of ca. 15 tons per hour. - A preferred purpose of such production is to provide for a continuous flow of loose ice to be dumped into deep 5 mining localities for cooling the air to a reduced and more convenient working temperature than otherwise existing in deep mines.
  • condenser 26 is accepted as waste heat, it will invertedly be possible to appreciate the heat generation of the condenser 26 as useful and economical even if the associated production of ice is considered as a waste phenomena.
  • the system may be used as an efficient high capacity heat
  • 35 pump serving to extract heat energy from a relatively cold starting medium, e.g. river or sea water at a temperature as low as some 1-3 C.
  • a relatively cold starting medium e.g. river or sea water at a temperature as low as some 1-3 C.
  • the invention is obtained an effective utilis ⁇ ation of the vaporization heat/freezing heat of the water, such that even with a small resulting temperature differ- ence between the inlet water from the source 12 and the outlet water from the condenser 20 it has been possible to create both large amounts of ice and large amounts of heat, the latter as derived from the condenser 26.
  • the main condition for this operation is the formation of the vapour as an intermediate operative heat carrier from the vacuum evaporation chamber 2 to the condenser 20, and the main problem is to effect the transfer of the vapour in a sufficiently economical manner:.
  • this transfer of the vapour is effected by means of a simple single stage or few stages centrifugal compressor combined with the use of a condenser 20 which is actively refrigerated to a temperature level which is low enough to correspond to the pressure of the vapour as compressed from the vacuum chamber through said one or few stages only, yet high enough to prevent the formation of ice on the condenser
  • a single stage vapour compressor capable of extracting a large vapour flow from a vacuum chamber is known from the USA Patent Specification No. 3,202,343, which discloses a system for producing sweet water from sea water by letting the sea water into a vacuum chamber and collecting and condensing the vapour produced hereby.
  • the condensation of the vapour is effected with the outside of the vacuum chamber itself constituting the condenser, and the result of the process is a separation of sweet water from the sea water rather than a pronounced and usable production of cold and/or heat.
  • the effect added by the operation of the vapour compressor is to be regarded as a compensation for thermal and other losses in the system, while in connection with the invention the compressor is an active
  • the compressor 16 as used with the invention is a highly important unit, and it is deemed appropriate to refer to the said USA Patent Specification No. 3,202,343 in order to show more detailed a type of a simple compressor which is well suited for use in a system according to the invention together with another simple main part, viz. the refrigeration system 24,26,28 as operating at a relatively high evaporator temperature, which, as well known, conditions a simple and highly efficient refrigeration system.
  • the product of the vacuum chamber 2 is dry ice
  • the product of the vacuum chamber 2 is dry ice
  • wet ice will be cheaper to produce than dry ice because of its generally higher temperature, and the economy of the production system, of course, should be related to the desired character or temperature of the ice product.

Abstract

De la glace en vrac est produite en grande quantite en injectant de l'eau dans une chambre sous vide (2), dans laquelle de la glace ou de la neige sont produites par l'evaporation instantanee de l'eau. La glace en vrac est evacuee de la chambre sous vide (2) et le volume ou l'ecoulement important de vapeur a basse pression est extrait au moyen d'un compresseur centrifuge simple a etage unique (16) qui envoie la vapeur legerement comprimee a un condenseur exterieur refrigere positivement (22) et fonctionnant a une temperature de condensation legerement superieure a 0 C, la pression de condensation de la vapeur etant suffisamment basse pour conditionner ou permettre l'utilisation d'un compresseur (16) d'une tres grande simplicite, tandis que d'autre part la temperature de condensation est tout juste suffisante pour eviter des problemes de congelation dans le condenseur (22). Le systeme de refrigeration auxiliaire necessaire (24, 26, 28) peut etre un systeme simple et courant de rendement eleve a cause de la temperature relativement haute de l'evaporateur, et le compresseur de vapeur (16) egalement peut etre une unite simple, etant donne qu'il traite la vapeur uniquement a l'extremite inferieure de la plage de pression et de densite de celle-ci. Le condenseur (26) du systeme de refrigeration auxiliaire peut etre utilise en tant que radiateur efficace pour un systeme de chauffage exterieur.
