Author(s) : MATTAROLO L.

Summary

FIRSTLY, ONE CONSIDERS THE INCIDENCE OF COLD CHAIN ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND THE MEANS FOR SAVING ENERGY, OR BETTER FOR REDUCING THE EXERGY LOSSES. HEAT RECOVERY IN REFRIGERATION IS ALSO EXAMINED. SECONDLY, REFRIGERATION PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN THE PROBLEM OF MANKIND NOURISHMENT. THE AMOUNT OF PERISHABLE PRODUCTS THAT NEED REFRIGERATION IS ABOUT 1,600 M TONS AYA. BIOLOGISTS AND ENGINEERS ARE CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGED IN A MORE APPROPRIATE DESIGN OF THE LINKS OF COLD CHAIN. FINALLY, REFRIGERATION AND THERMAL COMFORT ARE CONSIDERED. STRESS IS GIVENTO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SO CALLED < PASSIVE SYSTEMS > IN VIEW OF A NEW SCIENCE < THE BIOCLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE >. THIS CALLS FOR A BETTER COLLABORATION BETWEEN ARCHITECTS AND REFRIGERATION ENGINEERS. EVAPORATIVE COOLING IS ALSO UNDERLINED WITH THE EMPLOYMENT OF LIQUID OR SOLID DESICCANTS.
