Disposing of used refrigeration appliances has a breaking up chamber connected to a dryer and cryogenic cooler

摘要

The reduction chamber (3) receives appliances through a chute (22) and flap door (23) to be broken up by flailing chains (7,8) and released gases are extracted by a fan (31) through a filtration unit (26) and returned to the reduction chamber after passing through a dryer (28). The broken pieces are delivered to a hopper (15) and a pump (16) extracts gases to a conveyor (18) to a condenser (39) and cryogenic cooler (36) which also receives any gas from the filtration unit.
