Glycol pan chiller systems with integrated stove top

摘要

A glycol pan chiller is combined with a gas range system to allow for convenient cooking and chilled food storage. A disclosed glycol pan chiller system comprises a first food cooling area 110 cooled by glycol contained within a glycol void area 130, the void area defined within an inner liner 160. Under normal conditions, the glycol will remain stationary within the inner liner and will be chilled by a Freon line 140 contained within the glycol void area. A second food cooling area is cooled by use of glycol or other fluid contained within the glycol void area. The second food cooling area does not require the use of a separate Freon cooling system.

主权项

1. A two compartment food cooling system, the system comprising:
a) an inner liner, the inner liner comprising an outer wall connected to an inner wall, the inner wall and outer wall defining a glycol void area, and an inside area of the inner wall defining a first food cooling area; b) a refrigerant flow line disposed within the glycol void area; c) glycol disposed within the glycol void area, the glycol in contact with the refrigerant flow line; d) the refrigerant flow line containing circulating refrigerant, the refrigerant cooled by the use of a compressor, condenser, and evaporation coil. e) the glycol within the glycol void area cooled by contact with the refrigerant flow line; f) the glycol disposed within the glycol void area connected to a pipe line, the pipe line connected to a glycol tank, the glycol tank disposed within a second food cooling area, the glycol tank comprising glycol and a second refrigerant flow line, the second refrigerant flow line in direct contact with the glycol within the glycol tank; the evaporation coil and fan system disposed within a second food cooling area; g) a thermostat and control valve measuring the temperature within the first food cooling area, and connected to a glycol pump, the thermostat and control valve activating the glycol pump upon the first food cooling area exceeding a predetermined temperature.
