FREEZER RUNS LONGER WITHOUT DEFROSTING.

Type of article: Article

Summary

A FLUIDISED FREEZER HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN WHICH DEFROSTING IS CARRIED OUT USING A TRAVERSING BLAST OF COMPRESSED AIR TO BLOW FROST FROM THE FIN SURFACE. THE COILS ARE UPRIGHT WITH HORIZONTAL AIR FLOW. THE COMPRESSED AIR TRAVERSES THE COIL FACE AT TWO SPEEDS, SELECTED ACCORDING TO THE RATE OF FROST FORMATION. NOZZLES INJECT AIR BLASTS ACROSS THE FIN SURFACE. THE BENEFITS OF THIS CONTINUAL DEFROSTING ARE THAT A FREEZER THAT REQUIRED MANUAL DEFROST EVERY FIVE HOURS CAN OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION FOR A TEN HOUR SHIFT THUS SAVING MAN HOURS AND DEFROST WATER AS WELL AS INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY AND MAINTAINING LOWER TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT A WORKING SHIFT.
