Experimental investigation of air distribution in a continuous chiller.

Author(s) : MIRADE P. S., DAUDIN J. D.

Summary

Air distribution in industrial chillers is a critical point. The spatial heterogeneity of the air velocity is a major source of the variation of the chilling time in batch chiller. In continuous chillers, a great part of the air frequently flows along the walls instead of around the products; this leads to a lack of efficiency. An experimental method has been set up at the authors' laboratory in order to analyse and represent the air flow in the food industry apparatuses. This method allows to measure rapidly the air velocity at many points and then to eliminate the time-fluctuations due to the flow unsteadiness by applying a mathematical treatment.
