Summary

PROCEEDINGS OF AN EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAMME FOR PRECOOLING CAULIFLOWERS (AND OTHER VEGETABLES) BY THE < HUMID COLD > METHOD, THAT IS BY SATURATED BLAST AIR, COOLED BY TRICKLING OF ICED WATER. THIS PROGRAMME WAS CARRIED OUT IN 5 PILO FINISTERE (FRANCE), ON THE INITIATIVE OF PRODUCERS IN THE REGION. THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THE PRINCIPLE OF THE < HUMID COLD > METHOD, THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF ONE OF THE 5 PILOT PLANTS (ST-POL-DE-LEON) AND ITS INSTRUMENTATION. THE RESULTS INCLUDE: MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF THE COOLING PROCESS, HEAT BALANCES, WEIGHT LOSS, AIR CIRCULATION AND AIR CONDITIONING ASPECTS OF THE PLANT, COSTS (INVESTMENT, OPERATION AND ENERGY) AND PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS. THE AUTHORS CONCLUDE THAT THIS SYSTEM IS BOTH EFFICIENT AND CONVENIENT. J.R.
