Author(s) : HERBERT L. S.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

A TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN PROPOSED TO SAVE ENERGY BY OPERATING THE REFRIGERATION PLANT INTERMITTENTLY INSTEAD OF CONTINUOUSLY. DURING A TEST IN AN AUSTRALIAN ABATTOIR, THE REFRIGERATION PLANT WAS OFF FOR 33 H AND ON FOR 15 H BETWEEN 0600 SATURDAY AND 0600 MONDAY. ENERGY SAVINGS OF OVER HALF NORMAL WEEK-END CONSUMPTION WERE ACHIEVED, AND EVAPORATIVE WEIGHT LOSS FROM CHILLED CARCASSES REDUCED, WITHOUT RISK TO THE HYGIENE QUALITY OF CHILLED OR FROZEN MEAT.
