Modelling of the heat and mass transfer during cooling of palletized fruits and vegetables.

Modélisation du transfert de chaleur et de matière au cours de la réfrigération des fruits et légumes conditionnés en palette.

Author(s) : ALVAREZ G., LETANG G., BILLIARD F.

Summary

A simple model of heat and mass transfer for palletized spherical products was developed and validated with regard to experimental results. The integration of local cooling conditions in a simple modelling procedure makes it possible to detect critical points, in order to suggest possible improvements to produce packaging. The monitoring of critical points (the hottest and the coldest) should also make it possible to monitor cooling processes.
