  • Publication number: 20080250810
    Abstract: A cooling module applied for liquid containers comprises: A cooling pipeline forms with an inlet and an outlet for refrigerant to flow through. The liquid pipeline conducts liquids to flow through a thermal-exchanging matrix. The thermal-exchanging matrix is made from metals such as copper or aluminum. The cooling pipeline and liquid pipeline are both installed inside the thermal-exchanging matrix. The thermal-exchanging matrix is pre-cooled and therefore being kept at a predetermined temperature by the thermal controller. Consequently, through flown in and out of the thermal-exchanging matrix, the liquid is cooled down in short time and therefore kept at the predetermined temperature.
