Improving the energy efficiency of food refrigeration operations throughout the cold chain.

Author(s) : JAMES S. J.

Summary

In June 2006, a UK Government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) funded project to "identify, develop and stimulate the development and application of more energy efficient refrigeration technologies and business practices for use throughout the food chain whilst not compromising food safety and quality" started. The project was a collaboration between 4 top University research groups (University of Bristol, Brunel University, London South Bank University and Sunderland University), an industrial steering group and hundreds of stakeholders from the food and refrigeration industries. This paper summarises some of the work already reported and subsequent findings of this project.
