    FLAT PARTS REFRIGERATOR DEVICE AND FLAT PARTS COOLING METHOD
    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention relates to a novel cooling device of flat parts and the method of cooling the flat parts that makes use of the mentioned device. The device has cooling elements, preferably plates, in contact with the flat pieces, through which a continuous and constant flow of cooling fluid circulates for the exchange of heat with the parts so that it is possible to cool quickly and homogeneously the flat pieces reducing to the maximum the energy costs associated with the process.
    The invention falls within the technical field of the manufacture of substantially flat products by hot processes, preferably made of pressed wood.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    The cooling of boards after a hot pressing process is something that has been done in different ways in the state of the art. The objective of these processes is to reduce the temperature of the pressed boards before their storage and / or distribution. If the boards are not made and stacked hot, said boards undergo a heterogeneous cooling process in which different parts of the same board cool at different speeds, and depending on their position in the stack, the boards also cool at different speeds with each other. Therefore, neither the boards individually nor the stack of boards as a whole cools evenly and said boards end up curving. This will necessarily imply either discarding those boards that have curved increased production costs or subject them to straightening processes that lengthen the manufacturing process and increase production costs equally.

    At present, the laminated boards after the hot pressing process are cooled in the air in different cooling devices that store the boards maintaining a specific distance between them until they reach the desired temperature. These cooling devices have elements (surfaces, arms or similar) on which the boards support maintaining a distance between them that allows heat dissipation.
    Among these cooling devices, for example, panel coolers for radial storage plywood are known. These have a plurality of arms (generally two metal bars for each board located in parallel) radially located holding a revolution cylinder, so that the rotation of this cylinder aerates and cools the boards. In this rotary cooler, the boards are kept for a minimum of 30 minutes before being packed and stored.
    Also known are panel coolers for vertical storage plywood. These have a plurality of clamping arms (generally two metal bars for each board located parallel) all located parallel as a shelf, so that the space between each pair of bars on which a single board rests allows sufficient aeration of the boards. In this static vertical storage cooler, the boards are kept for a minimum of 30 minutes before being packed and stored.
    Both the panel coolers for radial and vertical storage plywood present the problem that the cooling process requires a time that will depend on the temperature of the manufacturing process of the boards and the ambient temperature. This time when the panels must be stored increases manufacturing times and as a result increases costs. In addition, a greater distance between the boards will accelerate the cooling process but will imply the need to have more storage space for the same amount of boards, so that large storage spaces must be available or the cooling times lengthened, what affects in prolonging the manufacturing process.

    Also known are board coolers with melanin that cool the boards by introducing them in partially or totally enclosed spaces where cold air is injected. In this way, the cooling process is accelerated at the expense of higher energy expenditure, which significantly increases production costs.
    Therefore, it is necessary to design a device and a method that allows to reduce the cooling times of the flat panels manufactured by any process that implies that they are heated, without this entailing a significant energy expenditure. This will allow to optimize manufacturing time while keeping costs within the margins of profitability.
    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    In order to solve the problems set forth above, the present invention describes a cooling device for flat parts and a method of cooling flat parts that makes use of said cooling device. The invention improves the existing processes of cooling of flat parts from previous manufacturing processes by means of heat presses. Today there are many pressing processes on the market in which in addition to the pressure, the influence of heat is vital, such as the manufacture of laminated boards, metal and polymer sheets, or the manufacture of fiber cement sheets.
    Thus, a first object of the present invention is a flat-piece cooling device comprising a first cooling element with a first contact surface with the flat part and a second cooling element with a second contact surface with the flat part. The first and second cooling elements are located facing each other defining a space between them for the introduction of the flat piece. Additionally, both the first cooling element and the second cooling element comprise a cooling circuit distributed by the first and second contact surface with the flat piece, respectively, through which a constant flow of cooling fluid circulates. It will be the exchange of heat between the refrigerant fluid and the flat piece that will cool the piece by heating the refrigerant fluid, which, being circulating and being constantly renewed, will dissipate the

    heat transmitted by the piece. Note that throughout the memory, when talking about flat pieces, it refers to substantially flat pieces, that is, defined in a single plane. Thus, the surfaces of the flat parts in contact with the cooling elements do not necessarily have to be smooth, but may have irregular surfaces, reliefs, grooves, etc. It is preferably provided that at least one of the contact surfaces of the parts with the cooling device is smooth to maximize the contact surface with the corresponding cooling element. In addition, it is provided that preferably said flat pieces are made of laminated wood, melanin, plastic, polymer or metal. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, said pieces will have a constant thickness although they may optionally have a variable thickness, especially when it comes to polymeric parts.
    In a preferred embodiment, the device comprises a displacement system of at least one of the cooling elements for the movement of said cooling element with respect to the other cooling element in a direction perpendicular to the contact surfaces. Optionally, it is provided that the two cooling elements can have a displacement system, especially when neither of them is used as a support surface of the flat piece, for example in applications where the cooling elements are positioned vertically. With these displacement systems it is ensured that the contact surfaces of the cooling elements always make contact with the piece and also allows the invention to be more versatile adapting to pieces of different thicknesses.
    In another particular embodiment, the cooling device comprises a first cooling system to feed the cooling circuit of the first cooling element and a second cooling system to feed the cooling circuit of the second cooling element, both cooling systems being independent of each other. These refrigeration systems will be connected to the same cooler or to two independent and external coolers, which will receive a flow of superheated coolant during the time it circulates through the refrigeration circuits and will return it to the working temperature.

    In another particular embodiment, the device comprises a unique refrigeration system for feeding the cooling circuits of the first and second cooling elements. This will be especially useful in applications where space is limited. In this case the refrigeration system will be connected to a single cooler.
    In another particular embodiment, the displacement system of the cooling elements comprises a plurality of hydraulic cylinders. These cylinders will be connected to a frame where the device is supported and to the cooling elements themselves. Optionally, the displacement system can be composed of pneumatic cylinders or motorized cylinders.
    In another particular embodiment, the system additionally comprises an automatic system for loading and unloading the flat parts coupled to the device itself. More preferably, it is provided that the loading and unloading system of the flat parts is a band of Mylar® material coupled to the contact surface of at least one of the cooling elements. It is also planned that the loading and unloading system can be motorized wheels.
    In another particular embodiment, the first and second cooling element comprises a plurality of inlets and outlets of the cooling fluid on surfaces opposite to the contact surfaces with the flat pieces. Through the refrigeration systems and through the inlet sockets, the refrigerant fluid will be introduced at the working temperature and the superheated refrigerant will flow out of the outlet sockets once it has traveled the refrigerant circuit. It is provided that in another particular embodiment of the invention each cooling element has a first distributor of the refrigerant fluid connected to the plurality of inlets of the refrigerant fluid and a second distributor of the refrigerant fluid connected to the plurality of outlets of the fluid outlet refrigerant. These distributors are elements that interpose between the external cooler, which is part of the refrigeration system, which cools the cooling fluid to the working temperature and the cooling device.
    In another particular embodiment, the cooling circuit of the first and second cooling element is composed of a plurality of coils distributed by the contact surface with the flat piece, through which the cooling fluid circulates. The

    distribution can be variable and will be configured to maximize heat exchange between the cooling elements and the flat piece. In the case where the flat pieces have variable thicknesses or irregular contact surfaces, the distribution of the coils will be adapted for this purpose, having a greater density of them in the areas of greater thickness.
    In another particular embodiment, the first and second cooling elements are preferably flat and with identical dimensions and substantially equal to dimensions of the flat piece. It is also provided that the dimensions may not fit the parts in cases where it is only desired to cool a part of it or that the cooling elements may have different dimensions between them. Both the dimensions and the geometry of the contact surfaces of the cooling elements with the flat parts will depend on the specific application and the nature and geometry of the flat parts.
    In another particular embodiment the cooling fluid is water at room temperature. However, other refrigerant liquids such as air, freon, etc., may be used at very different temperatures.
    In another particular embodiment, the cooling device comprises a plurality of first cooling elements and second cooling elements, where each pair of first and second cooling elements are positioned horizontally, in the same horizontal plane and aligned. Ace! For this specific arrangement, use is made of a single loading and unloading system for all cooling elements. It has also been provided that the pairs of first and second cooling elements can be arranged in parallel and aligned, either vertically or horizontally, although for this realization it will take as many loading and unloading systems as pairs of first and second cooling elements.
    In the case of the horizontal arrangement, in the same horizontal plane and aligned, a plurality of cooling devices are provided, such as those described above which are placed in a linear fashion (a single loading and unloading system for all cooling devices). In the case of the parallel arrangement, a plurality of cooling devices are placed in parallel (as many loading and unloading systems as cooling devices).

    Preferably, it is provided that all cooling elements are positioned horizontally and aligned vertically to optimize space. For this case, an upper cooling element, a lower cooling element and a plurality of intermediate cooling elements are defined. These intermediate cooling elements act as the first cooling element, with respect to the cooling element located immediately below and as the second cooling element with respect to the cooling element located immediately above. Each pair of cooling elements defines a space between them for the introduction of a flat piece. In this way, the cooling device is configured to cool a plurality of flat pieces simultaneously, as many as pairs of first-second cooling elements are coupled to the frame of the device. The intermediate cooling elements may have a cooling circuit on each of their two contact surfaces with individual flat parts or a single cooling circuit to cool both contact surfaces. For this multi-load refrigerant device, it is provided that preferably the means of movement of the cooling elements is a motorized lifting system, to optimize the space occupied.
    Analogously to that described in the previous paragraph, it is provided that preferably all the cooling elements are positioned vertically and aligned horizontally to optimize the space. For this case, a left-end cooling element, a right-end cooling element and a plurality of intermediate cooling elements are defined. Thus, the right-end cooling element acts as the first cooling element, with respect to the cooling element located immediately to its left that acts as the second cooling element, and so on until reaching the left-most cooling element that acts as the second cooling element of the cooling element located immediately at his right. Each pair of cooling elements defines a space between them for the introduction of a flat piece. In this way, the cooling device is configured to cool a plurality of flat pieces simultaneously, as many as pairs of first-second cooling elements are coupled to the frame of the device.
    For both realization with a horizontal and vertical arrangement, refrigeration systems and chillers may be common to all storage devices.

    refrigeration, to groups of them or be connected individually so there will be as many as cooling devices.
    A second object of the invention is a method of cooling the flat pieces, where use is made of the refrigeration device described above, characterized in that it comprises the following phases:
    - circulating the cooling fluid through the cooling circuit of the first and second cooling element;
    - insert the flat piece into the space defined between the first and second cooling element;
    - maintain the flat part, a pre-established time, in contact with the first and second contact surface of the first and second cooling element, the preset time depending on the initial temperature and the final temperature of the flat part and the fluid temperature refrigerant; Y,
    - remove the flat part of the defined space between the first and second cooling element.
    In a particular embodiment, after introducing the flat piece in the defined space between the first and second cooling element, the distance between the first and second cooling element is adjusted by means of the displacement system of the cooling elements so that the first and second contact surface make contact with the flat piece.
    In another particular embodiment, the preset time that the flat part is kept in contact with the first and second contact surface of the first and second cooling element is one minute per millimeter of thickness of the flat pieces, when the cooling fluid is water at room temperature. In cases where the temperature of the fluid is lower or the cooling fluid has better heat-carrying properties, the preset time may be reduced.
    In another particular embodiment, it is provided that the flat pieces have a minimum thickness of 0.4 mm. Preferably, the maximum thickness of the pieces is expected to be 60 mm although this parameter will depend on the final application of the product obtained.

    Among the advantages presented by the device and method described here compared to the state of the art are:
    - allows fast and uniform cooling of flat parts, for example boards. At present the cooling of the hot boards once stored and stacked, is very slow and very uneven. The top panels and the edges of the pile cool very quickly, but the inside of the pile, you may need several days to cool down. This generates curvatures and deformities on the boards, forcing manufacturers to have department stores and extend delivery times.
    - curvatures are avoided during the cooling phase in the flat parts by placing said boards between two cooling elements, for example plates, with contact and support surfaces that adapt to the geometry of the boards. Generally the flat pieces that come out of the hot press, are not usually hardened, and are not able to hold their own weight, which by putting them between the blades (vertically) or on the shelves (horizontally), they are usually curved.
    - the cooling elements in contact with the flat parts in the present invention are kept at a constant temperature so that the heat exchange between them and the flat parts is uniform. Other existing solutions do not guarantee uniform cooling, as the areas resting on the blades or shelves will cool differently.
    - the refrigerant fluid used will preferably be water at room temperature although other refrigerants that reduce the temperature of the cooling elements below room temperature can be used, thereby accelerating the cooling process. Therefore, the speed of the refrigeration process can be modified depending on the needs.

    DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS EXAMPLES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    Next, a description of several examples of realization of the invention is made, with an illustrative and non-limiting character, with reference to the numbering adopted in the figures.
    Figures 1 to 4 show different views of the same example of embodiment of the flat-piece cooling device (16). This particular embodiment is planned

    for the refrigeration of a single flat piece (16), for example a laminated board previously manufactured by means of a hot press, by having only 2 cooling elements, such as refrigeration plates (2, 3) that are arranged parallel to the ground. Specifically, Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a particular embodiment of the cooling device (1) in which the board has not been included, Figure 2 shows a front view of the same embodiment in which if the board has been represented (16) cooling, while Figures 3 and 4 show a side and top plan view, respectively, of this same embodiment.
    The cooling device (1) is mounted on a metal frame (4) that is fixed to the floor. The upper (2) and lower (3) plates of the cooling device (1) are refrigerated, in this particular case, with water at room temperature. This embodiment example has been designed to keep the boards between the two plates (2, 3) a cooling time of 1 minute for each mm of board thickness. However, other refrigerant liquids can be used or their temperature reduced to lower these cooling times.
    The cooling device (1) has displacement means, comprising 8 hydraulic cylinders (5) located at the edges of the upper plate (2) distributed equally and in correspondence with the legs of the frame (4). These hydraulic cylinders (5) are configured to move the upper plate (2) vertically with respect to the lower plate (3) which, in this case, is fixed to the frame (4) by means of brackets (17). Thus, during the operation of introduction and extraction of the board, the hydraulic cylinders (5) increase the separation between both plates (2, 3) by lifting the upper plate (2) and during the cooling stage and with the board inside the gap between both plates (2, 3), the cylinders (5) lower the upper plate (2) until it makes contact with the board. In addition, these displacement means could be coupled to the lower plate by keeping the upper plate fixed, or both plates could move between them. Since the purpose of these means of displacement is not to press, but simply to ensure contact between the piece and the cooling plates, the means of displacement are very simple, since the fact that the entire plate is perfectly displaced is not considered critical horizontal. In addition, the frame (4) has stops (12) to limit the displacement of the upper plate (2) made by the hydraulic cylinders (5).

    Figures 2 and 3 show the board (16) located in the gap between both plates (2,3) so that the lower surface of the board (16) rests on the contact surface of the lower plate (3) and the cylinders ( 5) have been operated to move the upper plate (2) until its contact surface makes contact with the upper surface of the board (16). In this embodiment, the design of both plates (2, 3) is identical and fits the dimensions of the board, since it is intended to provide equal and uniform cooling on both sides of the board, although depending on the nature of the piece to be cooled, plates with different shapes and sizes could be used so that different surfaces of the piece are cooled at different speeds or partially.
    The plates (2, 3) have inlets (6) and water outlets (7) on the opposite side to the contact face with the board (16). Connected to each inlet (6) and outlet (7) there is a distributor for cold water inlet (8) and another for hot water outlet (9). The distributor for the cold water inlet (8) is connected to 6 points of cold water inlet to the plate through first connection pipes (10). Similarly, the distributor for hot water outlet (9) is connected to 6 hot water outlet points to the dish through a few second connection pipes (11). Figures 1 to 4 do not show the connection ducts between the cooler (15) and the inlet (6) and outlet (7) of the device (1).
    As for the design of the cooling circuits of each of the plates (2, 3), in this particular embodiment, these are composed of coils (20) that distribute the cold water that is introduced by the cold water inlets (21) and that is distributed by perpendicular channels (23) of distribution of the cold water connected to the coils (20). The coils (20) homogeneously distribute the water to the entire surface of the dish from one of the sides, the superheated water being collected by reception channels (24) of the hot water located on the opposite side that ends up being extracted by the hot water outlets (22), as shown in Figure 5. In this way it is achieved that the temperature in the dish is as homogeneous as possible so that the cooling is also homogeneous. The dish is designed so that the same water flow rate goes through each cooling circuit and cools homogeneously. The separation and diameter of the holes of the channels (23, 24) and coils (20) is calculated to give the greatest

    Possible exchange surface and facilitate cooling. Other distributions are perfectly feasible as long as the distribution of the refrigerant fluid is homogeneous by the contact surface of the plates.
    The cooling device (1) also has a loading and unloading system for the panels. In this embodiment, the selected system is a loading system through a lower band of Mylar® material (13) driven by a motor (14) coupled to the lower plate (3). However, other loading and unloading systems such as conveyor carts with suction cups, etc. may be used. The use of loading systems with lower band of Mylar® material has the advantage of having a reduced cost. Another advantage of the loading and unloading system through the Mylar® band is that the unloading of the board, as well as the loading of the next board can be performed simultaneously.
    Figure 6 shows an exemplary embodiment of the cooling device consisting of a plurality of refrigeration plates that is configured to simultaneously cool up to 9 flat panels. There are 9 pairs of plates (2,3) placed in parallel planes, aligned vertically and coupled to the same frame (25). For this, 10 plates are used, one upper (2), one lower (3) and 8 intermediate that act as the first cooling element (2), with respect to the cooling element located immediately below and as the second cooling element with respect to the cooling element located immediately above . In this case, to optimize the space instead of hydraulic cylinders, a motorized elevation system is available to move the plates (2,3) vertically. In addition there is a single distributor for cold water inlet (26) and another for hot water outlet (27). The distributor for the cold water inlet (26) is connected to several cold water inlets of all the plates (2,3) through first connecting pipes (not shown). Similarly, the distributor for the hot water outlet (27) is connected to several hot water outlet points of all the plates (2,3) through a second connection pipes (not shown). In this case, the intermediate plates will cool the boards in contact both on their lower and upper surface.
    Figures 7 and 8 show an exemplary embodiment in which four boards (16) are cooled simultaneously by pairs of plates (2, 3) arranged
    5

    vertically, instead of horizontally as. it was performed in the example of figures 1 to 4 and 6. The boards (16) have only been represented in figure 8 and not in 7. In this case the operation is equivalent to that described , for which it comprises the corresponding cylinders (5), but in this case they are configured to horizontally move at least one of the plates (2, 3).
    Figure 8 shows the boards (16) located in the gap between the plates (2,3) in the position where they are being refrigerated.
    In this case the plates (2, 3) also comprise the inlets (6) and outlet (7) of water or any other refrigerant, as well! as a distributor for the cold water inlet (8) and another for the hot water outlet (9), and likewise the distributor for the cold water inlet (8) is connected to 6 points of cold water inlet to the dish a through the first connection tubes (10). Similarly, the distributor for hot water outlet (9) is connected to 6 hot water outlet points to the dish through a few second connection pipes (11).
    Similarly, the cooling circuits of each of the plates (2, 3), also comprise the distribution coils (20) of the cold water that is introduced by the cold water inlets (21) and that is distributed by perpendicular channels (23) of cold water distribution connected to the coils (20). The coils (20) homogeneously distribute the water to the entire surface of the plate from one of the sides, with the superheated water being collected by the hot water receiving channels (24) located on the opposite side that ends up being extracted by the hot water outlets (22), as shown in Figure 5.
    This example also provides that you can incorporate a system for loading and unloading the panels (16), but in this case using motorized wheels (18) to perform the vertical load, instead of using the motors (14) as was done in the previous example of figures 1 to 4 and 6.
    As for the process of cooling the boards, first and before introducing the boards, the flow of water at room temperature is circulated through the dishes until they reach the temperature of the water (or any other cooling fluid). Once the dishes are at room temperature, you can proceed
    5
    10
    fifteen

    25
    30
    to introduce the boards between each pair of plates and begin the refrigeration process. The cooling system, which constantly recirculates the water, is designed so that it can instantly evacuate the heat that the board provides, so that the temperature of the water and the board is always kept constant. In this way, the reheated water from the cooling device is taken to the outside cooler (15) which lowers its temperature to room temperature and stores it in a tank. The system itself by means of a pump reinjects the already cooled water from the tank to the device again. Even when the cooling device is open (separate plates) waiting for the entry of a piece, the refrigeration system pump will continue to introduce chilled water so that the plate temperature remains constant at the desired value and does not affect the temperature variations of the ambient.
    The calculation of the permanence time of a board between the refrigeration plates is carried out by means of the heat conduction equations.
    Being:
    k: Thermal conductivity
    c: Specific heat capacity
    p: Mass density of the material
    qa ": Energy generated per unit of volume
    T: Temperature
    t: Time
    xy, z: Dimensions
    These equations are not linear, that is, there is no permanence thickness-time factor. However, for the cases of panels manufactured by hot pressing processes, it has been found that with a time of permanence equal to the pressing time, that is to say one minute per millimeter of thickness, the boards are sufficiently cooled.

    In a specific example, it is intended to cool a laminated board 20 mm thick manufactured by a hot process after which the board is at 200 ° C so that it will remain 20 minutes in the cooling device. The process is planned to progressively cool a wooden board in direct contact with steel sheets (contact surfaces of the plates) whose core is at a constant temperature (35 ° C to avoid condensation due to external ambient humidity) . After 20 minutes the board will leave the cooling device at a temperature that ranges between 35 ° and 50 ° C.
    At the beginning of the process, the more temperature difference there is between the board and the plate, the more power dissipates and the more power must be supplied to the plate. For this specific example, the board has an area of 10m2 so it needs a maximum of 12000W / m2 and external chillers with a power of: 12000 x 10 x 2 (upper face and lower face of the board) = 240 kW will be needed. However, all that power will only be used for a very short period of time (specifically the first minutes of the refrigeration process since as the temperature of the board decreases a lower power is necessary), while the rest of the time will not be necessary .
    In order not to have to greatly oversize the external cooler, an accumulation installation is designed such that:
    The average power of the process is 3300 W / m2. That is: 3300x10x2 = 66 kW. An external cooler of this power is installed. The first seven minutes of the process require more than 3300W / m2 and the next 12 minutes less power is needed as the board temperature will gradually drop. A 10,000 liter storage tank is installed that is capable of storing the water at 35 ° C that will be necessary during the first 7 minutes of the process. During the second 12 minutes, as less power is needed than is available, the external cooler is responsible for recovering the 35 ° C in the tank for the next cycle.
