Author(s) : CARTER R. S., FISHER R. K.

Summary

A REFRIGERATION WASTE HEAT RECOVERY DEVICE WAS EVALUATED AND FOUND TO BE CAPABLE OF RECOVERING 20-30% OF ENERGY LOST DURING THE REFRIGERATION OF PRECOOLED MILK. THE ENERGY RECOVERED WAS USED TO PREHEAT THE WASHING WATER NORMALLY HEATED BY ELECTRICITY. WHERE SURPLUS REFRIGERATION CAPACITY EXISTS IT IS POSSIBLE TO ADJUST THE REFRIGERATOR TO MAKE IT PERFORM AS A HEAT PUMP AND INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE OF SMALL VOLUMES OF WATER TO 311 K (38 DEG C), AT THE EXPENSE OF A 10% REDUCTION IN REFRIGERATION EFFECT.
