OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención pertenece al campo del análisis de materiales para la determinación de sus propiedades químicas o físicas, y más concretamente al análisis de líquidos refrigerantes y anticongelantes. The present invention belongs to the field of material analysis for the determination of its chemical or physical properties, and more specifically to the analysis of coolants and antifreeze liquids.

El objeto principal de la presente invención es un dispositivo de medida que permite determinar la temperatura y la concentración de anticongelante presente en una disolución, incluso para disoluciones por debajo de 0 °C, avisando mediante una señal de alarma en caso de que dicho anticongelante se encuentre por debajo de un determinado valor. The main object of the present invention is a measuring device that allows to determine the temperature and concentration of antifreeze present in a solution, even for solutions below 0 ° C, warning by means of an alarm signal in case said antifreeze is find below a certain value.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Actualmente, para conocer las características y calidad de un fluido de refrigeración se utiliza, o bien un pesa-glicol, o bien un dispositivo refractómetro, mediante los cuales es posible determinar la temperatura de protección, a partir de la cual el fluido pierde sus propiedades refrigerantes y cambia a fase sólida. Para dosificar los líquidos anticongelantes, las técnicas utilizadas son esencialmente métodos de laboratorio tales como la cromatografía líquida o la electroforesis, difícilmente transportables al lugar de la explotación, y en ningún caso adaptados al hombre de campo, por ejemplo personas encargadas del buen funcionamiento de los motores industriales o de los motores de un parque de automóviles, camiones o autobuses. La composición de un líquido refrigerante exige un grado de concentración de anticongelante concreto, el cual afecta a su densidad. La adulteración del líquido o la deficiente concentración del mismo deben ser conocidas de antemano por el consumidor ya que las consecuencias de utilizar un líquido sin las condiciones adecuadas, pueden ser de gran importancia para el circuito refrigerador. Currently, to know the characteristics and quality of a cooling fluid, either a glycol-weight, or a refractometer device is used, by means of which it is possible to determine the protection temperature, from which the fluid loses its properties refrigerants and changes to solid phase. To dose the antifreeze liquids, the techniques used are essentially laboratory methods such as liquid chromatography or electrophoresis, difficult to transport to the place of exploitation, and in no case adapted to the man in the field, for example people responsible for the proper functioning of the industrial engines or engines of a car, truck or bus park. The composition of a coolant requires a concentration of concrete antifreeze, which affects its density. The adulteration of the liquid or its poor concentration must be known in advance by the consumer since the consequences of using a liquid without the right conditions can be of great importance for the cooling circuit.

Es evidente que actualmente existen en el mercado densímetros y otros aparatos de precisión adaptados para conocer la densidad o grado de concentración de un líquido cualquiera, pero estos aparatos de medición resultan ser muy delicados y costosos. Dichos dispositivos están basados en el principio de "refracción de la luz" en soluciones acuosas, por el cual, cuando aumenta la densidad de un fluido (por ejemplo: cuando se disuelve azúcar en agua), el índice de refracción aumenta proporcionalmente. It is evident that densimeters and other precision devices adapted to know the density or degree of concentration of any liquid currently exist on the market, but these measuring devices turn out to be very delicate and expensive. Such devices are based on the principle of "light refraction" in aqueous solutions, whereby, when the density of a fluid increases (for example: when sugar is dissolved in water), the refractive index increases proportionally.

El problema técnico aquí planteado es que los instrumentos y dispositivos anteriormente citados, basados en fenómenos de refracción, no permiten conocer en tiempo real la concentración exacta de anticongelante presente en una disolución que se encuentre a una temperatura inferior a 0°C, con lo cual no es posible controlar de forma eficiente y precisa procesos de refrigeración desarrollados por debajo de dicha temperatura. The technical problem presented here is that the instruments and devices mentioned above, based on refraction phenomena, do not allow to know in real time the exact concentration of antifreeze present in a solution that is at a temperature below 0 ° C, whereby It is not possible to efficiently and accurately control cooling processes developed below that temperature.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Mediante la presente invención se resuelve el problema técnico anteriormente planteado proporcionando un dispositivo de medida de la concentración de anticongelante existente en una disolución refrigerante, la cual se encuentra a una temperatura inferior a 0°C, avisando en caso de que dicha disolución pierda sus características ideales de refrigeración, al encontrarse el anticongelante por debajo de un determinado valor. El dispositivo de medida, objeto de la presente invención, destaca fundamentalmente por estar basado en el principio de conductividad eléctrica de soluciones acuosas, por el cual, en todo medio acuoso existe una relación directa entre su temperatura y su conductividad eléctrica, por tanto a mayor temperatura de la disolución refrigerante mayor es su conductividad. A su vez, la conductividad eléctrica es inversamente proporcional a su porcentaje en la disolución, esto es, cuanto mayor es la conductividad de una disolución refrigerante, menor es su concentración de anticongelante. By means of the present invention, the aforementioned technical problem is solved by providing a device for measuring the concentration of antifreeze in a refrigerant solution, which is at a temperature below 0 ° C, warning if the solution loses its characteristics cooling ideals, when the antifreeze is below a certain value. The measuring device, object of the present invention, stands out primarily for being based on the principle of electrical conductivity of aqueous solutions, whereby, in any aqueous medium there is a direct relationship between its temperature and its electrical conductivity, therefore at higher The temperature of the coolant solution is its conductivity. In turn, the electrical conductivity is inversely proportional to its percentage in the solution, that is, the higher the conductivity of a cooling solution, the lower its concentration of antifreeze.

Empleando este principio, el dispositivo de medida objeto de invención es capaz de realizar mediciones de disoluciones refrigerantes con temperaturas negativas, lo cual permite optimizar considerablemente los procesos de control de refrigeración de numerosas aplicaciones industriales, como por ejemplo en la industria cervecera, en los refrigeradores comerciales de cerveza de barril. Using this principle, the measuring device object of the invention is capable of carrying out measurements of refrigerant solutions with negative temperatures, which makes it possible to considerably optimize the refrigeration control processes of numerous industrial applications, such as in the beer industry, in refrigerators draft beer commercials.

Dicho dispositivo de medida, el cual puede ser portátil o instalable, comprende al menos: un sensor de temperatura, preferentemente un termistor NTC, adaptado para medir la temperatura exacta de una disolución refrigerante; un sensor de conductividad eléctrica; un microcontrolador vinculado al sensor de temperatura y al sensor de conductividad eléctrica, adaptado para la gestión y procesamiento de la información obtenida por dichos sensores, y dotado del software necesario para determinar la concentración de anticongelante presente en la disolución refrigerante; una interfaz de usuario, que preferentemente comprende un teclado y una pantalla, mediante la cual es posible calibrar el dispositivo de medida objeto de invención para diferentes disoluciones refrigerantes, y a través de la cual un usuario puede conocer distintos parámetros de la disolución refrigerante; y una fuente de alimentación conectada a la red eléctrica general, que proporciona energía al resto de componentes anteriormente citados. Said measuring device, which can be portable or installable, comprises at least: a temperature sensor, preferably an NTC thermistor, adapted to measure the exact temperature of a cooling solution; an electrical conductivity sensor; a microcontroller linked to the temperature sensor and the electrical conductivity sensor, adapted for the management and processing of the information obtained by said sensors, and equipped with the necessary software to determine the concentration of antifreeze present in the refrigerant solution; a user interface, which preferably comprises a keyboard and a screen, by means of which it is possible to calibrate the measuring device object of the invention for different refrigerant solutions, and through which a user can know different parameters of the refrigerant solution; and a power supply connected to the general power grid, which provides power to the other components mentioned above.

Para los casos en que la disolución refrigerante pierda sus propiedades refrigerantes y el anticongelante disminuya por debajo de un determinado umbral, el cual ha sido previamente establecido mediante la interfaz de usuario, se ha previsto que el dispositivo de medida objeto de invención disponga de unos medios de alarma, que pueden ser luminosos y/o acústicos, mediante los cuales el usuario tiene conocimiento en tiempo real del estado de dicha disolución refrigerante. For cases where the cooling solution loses its properties refrigerants and the antifreeze decrease below a certain threshold, which has been previously established through the user interface, it is provided that the measuring device object of the invention has alarm means, which can be luminous and / or acoustic , whereby the user has real-time knowledge of the state of said refrigerant solution.

Por otra parte, se ha previsto que el microcontrolador disponga preferentemente de un sistema de detección de hielo, para aquellas situaciones en las que la disolución refrigerante supere la temperatura de cambio de fase y se solidifique, lo cual si se deja pasar podría tener fatales consecuencias. On the other hand, it is envisaged that the microcontroller preferably has an ice detection system, for those situations in which the refrigerant solution exceeds the phase change temperature and solidifies, which if allowed to pass could have fatal consequences. .
