Progress in the use of air cycle technology in food refrigeration and especially retail display.

Author(s) : RUSSELL S. L., GIGIEL A. J., JAMES S. J.

Summary

The use of air as a refrigerant is based on the principle that when a gas expands isentropically, its temperature is reduced. The resulting cold air can then be used as a refrigerant, either directly in an open system, or indirectly by means of a heat exchanger in a closed system. The paper outlines the use of air cycle technology in food refrigeration and especially for display cabinets for chilled and frozen foods.
