Author(s) : BRILEY G. C.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

This paper describes various ways of increasing the efficiency of a mechanical refrigeration system. It compares the cost of operation with capital costs. Relative energy usage of the various cryogenic refrigerants is discussed in comparison to mechanical refrigeration systems. An analysis of the costs to chill beef using the conventional methods, using hot boning methods and using a suggested chill pack (-2°C) method indicate substantial savings in energy.
