Author(s) : FISCHER H. C., REYNOLDS M. M.

Summary

THE REQUIREMENTS FOR COLDER TEMPERATURES FOR FROZEN FOODS IS WELL KNOWN TO THE INDUSTRY. THE PRINCIPAL ECONOMIC DRAWBACK IS THE INCREASING COST OF ELECTRIC POWER. THE < STORED ENERGY CARBON DIOXIDE > SECO2 SYSTEM T.M. OFFERS THE CAPABILITY TO HOLD TEMPERATURES AS LOW AS 223 K (-50 DEG C) WHILE AT THE SAME TIME TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OFFPEAK ELECTRICAL RATES. BY MEANS OF THERMAL STORAGE AT 216 K (-57 DEG C), PEAK DEMAND CHARGES CAN BE REDUCED OR EVEN ELIMINATED. A TOTALLY INTEGRATED WAREHOUSE CAN MAINTAIN TEMPERATURES FROM 275 K (2 DEG C) TO 223 K WHILE PROVIDING FIRE PROTECTION.
