Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1930674A1] Method and device for cooling products like e.g. beverage cans etc. below the ambient temperature by means of a flow of cold air. The device comprises or cooperates with restricted rooms, called cocoons (5,11).Each cocoon is able to be or to become loaded with one or a number of the products (6) to be cooled. Detection means (7) are arranged for detecting the presence and/or load of each cocoon. Air flow control means (8,10) are arranged to restrict the flow of cold air only to cocoons which are loaded with at least one product to be cooled. A detection part (7) protudes in the cocoon (5) or in an area (13) in which the cocoon (11) and/or product (6) may reside, and is connected with air flow control means (8,10) which are arranged to control the air flow per cocoon (5) or per area (13) in which the cocoon (11) and/or product (6) may reside.
