  • Publication number: 20100170275
    Abstract: In order to provide a device, which with a low outlay enables a product to be cooled to be conveyed to a place of use and cooled reliably and energy-efficiently at the place of use, a cooling station for receiving a frame that has receivers for a product to be cooled is proposed, wherein the cooling station comprises at least one fan for generating a circulating air flow through the frame and at least one cooler for cooling the circulating air flow and wherein the cooling station comprises a housing that surrounds a receiving space for receiving the frame on at least three sides.

  • Publication number: 20090145150
    Abstract: In order to provide a cooling station for at least one container to be cooled that has a housing surrounding a receiving space for receiving a product to be cooled, wherein the cooling station comprises at least one fan for generating a circulating air flow through the container, at least one cooler for cooling the circulating air flow and at least one docking place having at least one first docking point for removing the circulating air flow from the container to be cooled and having at least one second docking point for feeding the circulating air flow to the container to be cooled, that operates in a particularly energy-efficient manner, it is proposed that the cooling station comprises at least one closure element for closing a docking point of the cooling station in the absence of a container to be cooled.

  • Publication number: 20090145154
    Abstract: In order to provide a cooling station for at least one container to be cooled that is dockable with the cooling station and has a housing that surrounds a receiving space for receiving a product to be cooled, wherein the cooling station comprises at least one fan for generating a circulating air flow through the container, at least one cooler for cooling the circulating air flow and at least one docking place having at least one first docking point for removing the circulating air flow from the container to be cooled and having at least one second docking point for feeding the circulating air flow to the container to be cooled, that is of a simple construction and easy to manufacture and yet allows effective and energy-efficient cooling of the circulating air flow through the container to be cooled, it is proposed that the cooler takes the form of a heat exchanger that at the cold side contains a multiphase, flowable coolant.
