Cooling storage

Abstract

We provide a cooling storage facility that can reliably remove even clumps of frost. [Solution] The configuration includes a storage chamber R3 for storing the object to be cooled, a cooler 44 for cooling the air flowing into the storage chamber R3, a cooler chamber R4 for housing the cooler 44, a drain pan 62 for receiving defrost water in the cooler chamber R4, an ice receiving section 66 positioned between the cooler 44 and the drain pan 62 to receive frost peeled off the cooler 44 and melt the frost so that it falls into the drain pan 62, and a cord heater 76 positioned in the area spanning the ice receiving section 66 and the drain pan 62 on the wall portion 24a that partitions the wall surface of the cooler chamber R4.

Claims

1. A storage room for storing the object to be cooled, A cooler for cooling the air that flows into the storage chamber, A cooler chamber housing the aforementioned cooler, A drain pan for receiving defrost water in the cooler chamber, An ice receiving unit is positioned between the cooler and the drain pan, which receives frost that peels off from the cooler and melts the frost so that it falls into the drain pan, A cord heater is provided in the area spanning the ice receiving section and the drain pan in the wall portion that partitions the wall surface of the cooler chamber, A refrigerated storage facility equipped with a cooling system.

2. The cooling storage unit according to claim 1, wherein the cord heater extends to a position where the routed portion overlaps horizontally with the cooler.

3. The cooling storage unit according to claim 1, wherein the density of the cord heaters in the area overlapping with the drain pan is less dense than the density of the cord heaters in the area above the drain pan.

4. The ice receiving portion is a plate-shaped member and comprises an ice receiving body portion that protrudes from the wall portion and has a plurality of openings, and an attachment portion that extends from the edge of the ice receiving body portion and is attached to the wall portion, according to any one of claims 1 to 3.

5. The cooling storage cabinet according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the cord heater is arranged on the wall portion opposite to the cooling chamber.

6. A circulating fan is provided to circulate air between the cooling chamber and the storage chamber. The cooling storage facility according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the cooling storage facility is configured to defrost the cooler by operating the circulation fan while the cooling of the air by the cooler is stopped, thereby circulating air between the cooler chamber and the storage chamber.
