Abstract

This chiller unit can be used for ice cream machineries, building machinery in hot weather, air conditioning units, military vehicles (tanks), medical devices that need fluid cooling units (especially the ammoniac freezer ones) and almost every industrial machine that uses water or fluid cooling systems.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . The importance of this chiller unit is it's economic investing benefits. 
     
     
         2 . It's cheap to manufacture and assemble, heavy duty, easy to handle, with a good fast chilling capability, and low energy consumption, and can be assembled anywhere in the world. 
     
     
         3 . 1 st  part of  claim 2 : this chiller unit uses an ordinary ice cream freezer (commercial ice cream freezer or chest freezer are the ones that we use in our chiller) ( FIG. 1 ) or ammoniac freezer, a car radiator with fans ( FIG. 2 ), a water circulation pump ( FIG. 2   a ), and some plastic made parts and tanks ( FIG. 9 ,  13 ) (cheap material used for many years). 
     
     
         4 . All the material in  claim 3  is usually heavy-duty cheap parts. 
     
     
         5 . 2 nd  part of  claim 2 : heavy-duty ice cream freezers stay outside in the sun for a good period of time. Car vehicle radiators withstand long periods of heavy heat during summer time in vehicles (mainly we'll use truck radiators). 
       Water pumps are designed to last for years and serve for long running hours during a single day under any weather, good plastic material last for years. 
     
     
         6 . 3 rd  part of  claim 2 : 1—easy to fix, 2—easy to move (all commercial ice cream freezers have wheels and thus making the device move with good mobility), 3—easy to operate. Every part of the chiller unit can be fixed easily since people with good experience can fix freezers, car radiators or water pumps within hours. So the system is technician friendly. This system doesn't need any electronic board equipment it's run by simple electrical current and switches mainly on/off ones. 
     
     
         7 . The 4 th  part of  claim 2 : this device has a powerful chilling capability since it uses the energy stocked by time in the cold components of the device (freezer unit) to be spent quickly on machines which require strong cooling power in order to make the heating parts of it's machineries cool down (ex. Ice cream machines). In fact, the freezer accumulates the slow but steady cooling energy of the current that makes it run in cooling mode inside its basin and inside a tank that has a shape like an 8 sitting in the freezer basin. ( FIG. 11 ) Using an ammoniac freezer (freezer that uses heat in order to let ammoniac give cooling energy) the heat generated by the machinery we're cooling down with this chiller, can be used to help the ammoniac freezer give stronger cooling energy (the transfer of heat can be made by coiling system wrapped upon the hot parts of the machinery and connected to the heating part of the ammoniac freezer). ( FIG. 15 ) Ammoniac freezers are low consumption units, can be operated on solar heating panels which make them very helpful in hot areas of the world and thus our chiller based on ammoniac freezers are very efficient in such areas. 
     
     
         8 . The 5 th  part of  claim 2 : the fans of the car radiator work on 12V dc power outlet. An ordinary ice cream freezer uses at average 3 A on 220V current. Ammoniac freezer uses less power usually and as proven in  claim 7 , any source of heat can be easily transformed to help them be energy consumption effective. So the total energy consume by the chiller is low and normal AC current. 
     
     
         9 . The 8 shaped tank sitting in the freezer basin ( FIG. 11 ) are filled with water (or liquid) and left for a night in a freezer or the freezer of the chiller to turn the liquid in them into ice before using them in the chiller. The 8 form of tank is very low energy consumption effective that is the frozen liquid in the tanks will give its stocked freezing energy to the radiators in a more lasting effective way (proven by tests). 
     
     
         10 . 6 th  part of  claim 2 : anywhere in the world almost anywhere there are freezers, car radiators, and water tanks so the production can be made in almost every country depending on the local market products without the need to import product.
