Detailed
description of topics:
Introduction and course domain.
Cooling and freezing of products (temperature
profiles, heat extraction, cooling and freezing processing lines, moisture transport).
Refrigeration equipment (cooling and freezing
tunnels, flat plate freezers, systems for particular products, design methods).
Thawing of products (with liquid, gas or steam,
radiation, electrical methods or micro waves).
Cold storage (building constructions, insulation,
doors, transport systems, air circulations and ventilation, controlled atmosphere,
refrigeration capacity, humidity, safety aspects).
Insulation (demand and properties, humidity and
moisture inside walls, constructions for insulation of walls and equipment).
Climate control in cold stores (control of
temperature and humidity, gas composition, pressure).
Liquefied natural gas (processes for liquefaction,
storage and applications of LNG).
Safety aspects (related to humans, products and the
environment).
