Type of article: Periodical article, Review

Summary

Do we need rapid chilling systems? Most current chilling systems use air as their secondary refrigerant. Many systems either handle large individual items i.e. meat carcasses or small items in bulk, i.e. silos of grain, crates of lettuce, etc. The rate of chilling in these systems is slow or very slow. Is there a need for much faster systems? What can we currently achieve? What systems have potential in the future? These are the topics the author hopes to address in this review.
