Summary

About one fourth of the European production of deep frozen vegetables is realised in Flanders, part of Belgium. Because of the high energy consumption in this sector, it is useful to perform a project in order to determine the parameters that have an influence on the energy consumption of freezing tunnels and the possible energy savings. Via the installation of a number of measurement systems in the cooling plant and the freezing tunnel and via a lot of experiments the conclusion can be drawn that is very important to adjust the settings correctly. Energy savings from 13 to 19% can be achieved.
