Summary

THE AUTHOR REVIEWS VARIOUS CRYOGENIC FREEZING PROCESSES AND COMPARES THE COSTS OF FREEZING ASPARAGUS IN LIQUID NITROGEN TUNNELS WITH DIFFERENT BELT DIMENSIONS. A COMPARISON IS MADE BETWEEN FREEZING ASPARAGUS WITH LIQUID NITROGEN AND CO2, THE LATTER ALSO BEING SUBCOOLED TO IMPROVE THE REFRIGERATING EFFECT. AT 222 K (-51 DEG C) CO2 IS COMPARABLE TO LIQUID NITROGEN IN SPITE OF ITS HIGHER COST PER TON. CONTINUOUS COMPUTERISED MONITORING OF CRYOGEN CONSUMPTION IS ADVOCATED AND DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF A MONITORING PROCESS. G.R.S.
