METHOD FOR REFRIGERATION OF BEEF CARCASSES Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: food industry; refrigeration of beef carcasses. SUBSTANCE: carcasses are loaded into cooled chamber prepared in advance and supplied with air through two circulation systems. Part of air that has passed through carcass round zone and flowing into air cooler is taken off and directed to carcass shoulder zone against the air flow in round zone, then returned to the chamber air inlet from air cooler. Here both flows are mixed and the mixed flow is delivered to "round" zone of carcasses. The volumetric amount of air taken off for the shoulder zone approaches that of volumetric flow rate of air supplied through air cooler. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 1 dwg, 1 tbl
