Design and Development the Pressure Chamber of the Continuous Belt Air-Blast Freezer in Freezing Shrimp Process

Abstract:

The air-blast freezer is common freezing technique for shrimps in seafood industry. In many companies encounter with developing this technology for food industry. In this study, Development in effects and behavior of airflow over in pressure chamber of continuous belt air-blast freezer, were investigated by simulating the airflow field by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Pattern holes in plenum plate and Modifying shape tunnel were cases study in redesign of development. The average velocity at outlet holes of airflow were determined and the streamline and vector of airflow were analyzed. The effects of redesign could increase the average relative velocity at outlet up 22- 32% compared with the original design.
