Summary

EXPERIMENTS ON VEGETABLE PRECOOLING HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT IN PUERTO RICO AND A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR THE DESIGN APPROACH TO PRECOOLING SYSTEMS. ALTHOUGH PRECOOLERS ARE BEING USED FOR A LARGE VARIETY OF VEGETABLES, TOMATOES WERE CHOSEN FOR THE THEORETICAL STUDY. ADAPTATIONS WERE MADE TO THEORIES DEVELOPED FOR FLUID FLOW HEAT EXCHANGE THROUGH BEDS OF SOLIDS AND A SATISFACTORY APPROXIMATE APPROACH PRODUCED. THE PRECOOLERS THEMSELVES ARE IN THE FORM OF AN INSULATED CHAMBER WHICH CAN BE ADAPTED, BY A SIMPLE CHANGE IN AIR FLOW PATTERN, FROM PRECOOLING TO COLD STORAGE. D.W.H.
