Study of a quick cooling unit for precooked food, using vacuum and zeolite water absorption.

Etude d'une unité de refroidissement rapide de plats cuisinés utilisant le vide et l'adsorption de l'eau par la zéolite.

Author(s) : PHELOUZAT J. L., REY R., NOGUERA R.

Summary

This study demonstrates the feasibility and potential performance of a vacuum quick-cooling solid absorption unit, using the zeolite-water pair. The strong points of the system are: it does not use CFCs; quickness of treatment improves the sanitary quality of preserved food owing to short cooling cycles; it fits easily into the production cycle of central kitchens and it seems to be efficient. An industrial prototype could be built to confirm the results obtained during the tests.
