Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. appl'n. Ser. No. 60/882,953, filed 31 Dec. 2006, the complete disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The invention relates to a refrigeration assembly for cooling a chemical container, particularly in cooling stored polyols and blowing agent ingredients used in the production of polyurethane foam used for insulation, and to a cooling unit of use in said assembly.
- Polyurethane form insulation of use in interwall cavities of buildings and in other duties is generally produced on-site, by the in situ mixing of the major isocyanate and polyols ingredients having blowing agents to produce the polymeric foam, which subsequently hardens.
- Typically, the isocyanate and polyol/blowing agent ingredients are each provided in separate standard 55 gallon metallic drums (500 lbs chemical), which are metered through a proportionator in generally a 1:1 to 2:1 isocyanate:polyols ratio, mixed and fed through a nozzle to the cavity, at a temperature of about 105° F. However, if the ambient temperature surrounding the drums, most particularly, the polyol/blowing agent drum, is high enough to cause the contents of the drum to reach about 26-28° C., the blowing agent expands to such a degree as to cause the drum to billow outwards under the gaseous pressure and cause the drum to explode. This is a most dangerous problem.
- To-date, this problem has been addressed, in one manner, by covering the drum with a cooling, but messy wet, horse blanket, which also involves the inconvenience of the need for constant water dousing.
- An alternative solution is to store the drums in an air conditioned environment, which involves wasteful, significant power usage, since vast volumes of space are, inevitably also cooled, particularly, when the drums are present and/or stored on-site in a truck or like vehicle where the chemical ingredients are to be mixed under the direction of manual operators, and truck doors and rear ends are, constantly, if not always maintained, open during foaming operations.
- There is, therefore, a need for a method or system of storing the drums at a safe temperature, in a convenient manner, that minimize temperature-controlled energy usage.
- The present invention provides such a solution that satisfies these criteria by, in effect, providing customized, individual cooling units, assembly and system.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooling unit, assembly and apparatus for cooling and maintaining the temperature of drum-stored chemicals, particularly, polyols/blowing agent mixtures for use in the on-site production of polyurethane foam.
- Accordingly, in one aspect, the invention provides a cooling unit operably retainable to (i) a metallic container for holding chemicals to be cooled and having a container outer surface, and (ii) refrigeration means; said unit comprising
-
- (a) a metallic thermal conductor having a first surface contactable with said container adjacent said container outer surface; and a second surface
- (b) a thermal insulation layer adjacent said second surface;
- (c) coolant first conduit means between said outer surface of said container and said thermal insulation layer, and having coolant first inlet means and coolant first outlet means; and
- (d) retaining means for retaining said unit to said container outer surface.
- Typically, the container is a 55 gallon iron drum, around which the cooling unit, preferably, in the form of an arc is retained against 20% to 50% of the drum's surface.
- The coolant conduit means is between said conductor first surface and said second surface.
- The metallic conductor is preferably a plate formed of an iron, copper, aluminum or an alloy thereof, which is preferably held by magnets to the drum.
- The coolant conduit in a preferred embodiment runs essentially within the metallic plate while having a cooling inlet and outlet at the ends of the plate.
- The unit insulation layer can, for example, comprise polyurethane foam, fiber glass and/or thermoplastic bubblepack material.
- External coolant input and output leads openly communicate the unit as hereinabove defined with a refrigerator having a temperature probe and which provides liquid coolant, e.g. a Freon coolant and receives gaseous spent coolant from the unit, for compression recycling.
- Accordingly, in a further aspect, the invention provides a cooling assembly for cooling chemicals held in a container comprising a cooling unit and a refrigeration means in communication with said coolant first conduit means.
- In a further aspect, the invention provides an assembly of such dimensions and weight, as to be manually portable.
- Thus, the invention provides an individual cooling system, in effect, customized for use with standard drums. However, the invention further provides a cooling assembly wherein the refrigerator may have a plurality of coolant conduit connections, leads and the like to supply and receive spent fresh coolant to a plurality of drums, simultaneously.
- The refrigerator may be powered by electric power supplied by a suitable power source, such as a battery, local utility supply of a building, truck or the like.
- Thus, in a further aspect, the invention provides an apparatus comprising an assembly and a metallic container containing chemicals, as hereinabove defined, said container having a container outer surface, and wherein said retaining means retains said cooling unit to said container outer surface.
- Preferably, the drum has a thermal insulation covering during storage.
- In order that the invention may be better understood, preferred embodiments will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein
- (a)
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a cooling unit according to the invention; - (b)
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of a width on the line 2-2′ of the cooling unit shown inFIG. 1 , affixed to a drum; - (c)
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a cooling assembly according to the invention affixed to a drum; - (d)
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the cooling assembly ofFIG. 3 with the drum having an insulation cover; - (e)
FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a refrigeration unit, according to the prior art, with major inner components in view; - (f)
FIG. 6 is the cooling assembly shown inFIG. 3 modified to receive a plurality of coolant leads; and - (g) wherein the same numerals denote like parts.

A plurality (four) of magnets (4 cm) 18 extend from theinner surface 20 ofplate 12 and by whichmagnets unit 10 is affixed todrum surface 14.Outer surface 22 ofplate 12 is covered with a 10 cm thick polyurethanefoam insulation layer 24. -
Plate 12 has an innerconduit coolant network 26 betweensurfaces liquid coolant inlet 28 and spentgaseous coolant outlet 30, and through whichnetwork 26 refrigerant passes. -
Coolant inlet 28 andoutlet 30 are each connected to respective copper (1.5 mm ID) conduits withinlead 32 for communication with a coolant supply andreceiver refrigeration unit 34.Receiver 34 has a typical 1/12HP compressor 36,condensing coil 38 and associatedconduits 40 withinhousing 42. Power is supplied torefrigeration unit 34 byelectrical lead 44 from an electrical source (not shown). A temperature probe 46 (AQUASTAT™ gas bulb thermometer) is connected torefrigeration unit 34. - To enhance thermal insulation and electrical efficiency, the assembly may have an insulation layer, for example, a metallic reflective bubble pack covering 48.

- The dimensions of each of
cooling pack 10 andrefrigeration unit 34 also provide ease of manual transportation. A typical size ofunit 34 enables it to be carried in a 40 cm×40 cm×25 cm carry case. - While a typical 24,000 BTU air conditioning unit, typically located in a truck used to maintain a 55 gallon drum of polyol/blowing agent at a temperature of between 15°-25° C. consumes about 3,800 watts, an individual cooling pack and assembly of use in the present invention consumes between 300-400 watts.
- An example of a typical polyol/blowing agent blended starting ingredient contains 60-70% w/w polyols, 7-13% w/w 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane, 7-13% w/w tris-iso-chloropropyl phosphate, 1-5% w/w tertiary amine blend, with the balance being inert additives. An example of a typical aromatic isocyanate starting chemical example is 4,4′-diphenyl methane diisocyanate. A mixing ratio of 1:1 at a mixing temperature of 40° C. is used.
