Temperature-controlled urinal module to prevent odors
A urinal module for installation in public toilets or private bathrooms, with the purpose of avoiding or reducing bad odors through the cooling of the contact surface of the urinal, where it impacts with the urine by the use of a cooling closed-circuit by direct expansion that includes a condensing unit and an electronic system of temperature control that are located in an external cabinet, separated from the urinal module. A centrally arranged water reservoir feeds the urinal module, each of which comprises a cooling streamer that leaves the condenser, enters through the back of the urinal closest to the cabinet and makes a journey through the inner back of the urinal to the point of contact with the lower reservoir of the same, resuming to the same point of entry of the urinal, from where it leaves, containing heated gas and returns to the compressor to achieve the closed-loop cooling effect. The temperature control of the urinal manages to form a thin ice protective layer, which will prevent the urine from vaporizing and, therefore, can be perceived by the sense of smell.
