Definitions

the present invention concerns a cooling unit for coffins, of the type using a refrigerating circuit consisting of a compressor, a condenser, one or more expansion or similar valves and an evaporator, which is in a situation of heat exchange with the interior of the coffin.
Similar cooling units are already known and used when it is necessary to delay the final closing of the coffin for whatever reason.
these units consist of mobile and re-useable units, with an evaporator consisting of a heat , exchanger which operates in a situation of heat exchange with the interior of the coffin, which obviously remains closed to prevent losses to the exterior.
an object of the present invention is a cooling unit of the type and for the application mentioned above, which presents a new and- improved configuration, so as to improve the use and efficiency of the same, avoiding the problems already mentioned.
the above object is realized by a cooling unit consisting of a refrigeration circuit as defined above, characterized in that the evaporator of the circuit is composed of at least one circuit permanently installed in the coffin and pre-charged under pressure with the refrigeration fluid, such circuit being equipped with rapid attachment points to connect it to the remaining parts of the refrigeration circuit and to disconnect it from the same parts when the cooling is interrupted.
the cooling unit according to the invention consists of two parts, one part composed of all the components of a refrigeration circuit, to be eventually contained in a transportable container, and the other part consisting only of the evaporator, which is connected to the remaining parts to close the refrigeration circuit but which is detachable from them and constitutes a disposable element along with the coffin.
the other components of the refrigeration circuit can be afterwards connected to another evaporator permanently connected to another coffin.
the components of the said circuit which operate on a new evaporator should include a tank, containing freon under pressure, which allows the loss to be made good at least for a certain number of operations.
a flat coil of the type used in domestic refrigerators and called roll-bond could be distributed in the most appropriate way inside the coffin, close to the remains; for example, in the lining of the coffin or below the same, or in a winding sheet, but always as a disposable item.
a refrigeration circuit of the classic type consisting of a compressor 10 which sends the gas along the pipe 11 to the condenser 12, which can be cooled by a fan 13.
the liquid obtained from the condenser 12 is collected in a tank 14 and sent along the pipe 15 to an expansion valve 16 which in its turn sends the expanded and cooled gas along the pipe 17 to the evaporator, from where the gas returns along the pipe 18 once again to the compressor 10.
All the components of the refrigeration circuit could be enclosed in a container 19 and be made transportable.
attachments 22 and 23 which can be connected or disconnected to the former, connected respectively to a delivery pipe 24 and a return pipe 25 for the same refrigerating fluid, in general freon, which is made to circulate in an evaporator consisting of a cooling coil 26 fed from the delivery 24 and from which the fluid leaves through the return pipe 25.
the pipes 24 and 25 and the coil 26 are themselves filled with the refrigerating fluid under pressure maintained by the attachments 22 and 23. Further, the coil 26 is distributed in the best possible way inside the coffin, for example it could be inserted into the lining of the coffin or even in the winding sheet which is used in these cases, or, anyhow, in an.element 27 of the coffin very close to the remains.
the evaporator 26 constitutes a disposable item, which can be connected or disconnected to the other components of the refrigerator circuit, which are re-usable through being connected to another evaporator connected permanently to another coffin, in such a way that those other components can be re-used a number of times, each time serving a new coffin.
the highest cost derives from the substitution of the disposable evaporators and is offset by the smaller demands made on the refrigerator circuit, the small size and lower weight, not to mention the ease with which the coffin can be closed when the cooling unit has been disconnected.
