ABSTRACT
Food freezers should completely freeze the product with
minimal deterioration of quality for low cost. Accurate
prediction of food freezing time allows the designer or
operator of food freezers to
Define the required product residence time and hence the freezer size or production rate,
Specify appropriate freezer operating conditions (e.g., air temperature and velocity),
Assess how changes in operating conditions affect the extent of freezing, and
Minimize expensive freezing trials.
