Author(s) : SHARP A. K., IRVING A. R.

Summary

THE RELATIVE PROPERTIES OF PROTECTION AGAINST THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY AND RADIATION ARE STUDIED COMPARING PALLET COVERS MADE OF PADDED-CANVAS AND REFLECTIVE PAPER. TESTS CARRIED OUT ON PALLETS OF CHILLED FOODS PROTECTED BY VARIOUS COVERS DURING 24 HRS IN MECHANICALLY REFRIGERATED TRUCKS MIXED WITH AN EQUAL NUMBER OF PALLETS OF FROZEN FOOD. BOTH TYPES OF COVERS INCREASE BY APPROXIMATELY 50% THE TIME REQUIRED FOR LOWERING TO 273 K (0 DEG C) THE TEMPERATURE OF CHILLED FO-. ODS -REFLECTIVE COVERS ARE EFFECTIVE FOR PROTECTING PALLETS REMAINING IN THE OPEN AFTER UNLOADING OF THE TRANSPORT VEHICLE. THE REDUCTION OF THE RATE OF TEMPERATURE RISE REACHED 50% WITH THESE COVERS WHEN THEY WERE USED FOR PROTECTING PRODUCTS BEING DELIVERED.
