The feasibility and advantages of vacuum cooling technology

Vacuum cooling is a rapid evaporative cooling technique, which can be applied to specific foods and particular vegetables. Increased competitiveness together with greater concerns about product safety and quality has encouraged some food manufacturers to use vacuum cooling technology. The advantages of vacuum cooling include shorter processing times, consequent energy savings, longer product shelf life, quality and safety. Traditionally, products such as lettuce and mushrooms have been cooled under vacuum. Nowadays, vacuum cooling is also widely used for cooling meat and bakery products, fruits, vegetables and some flowers. Its application may make its use in the food and vegetable processing industries more competitive and widespread.

It is known that large 1100 kg batches of meat sauce can be cooled from 85°C to10°C in less than 30 min using vacuum cooling in comparison to air blast cooling which can take in excess of 6 h, and using the vacuum cooler to cool soups can avoid liquid spraying out everywhere.

Fluoride refrigerants will be forbidden in 20 years

As the time developed, to protect the environment, fluorinated greenhouse gases must be forbidden to be used. Countries around the world about stopping using fluoride refrigerants schedules: the European Union completely forbid using it begin 2002, Japan started to ban the use of it start from 2004, the USA completely stop production and consumption in 2010. China is the biggest production and consumption country of the intermediate fluoride refrigerants, which produces and consumes about 65% and 40% of the world’s separately, in 2014, China has also started to stop using.

For developing countries’ intermediate fluoride refrigerants freezing schedule, the Montreal protocol has made the corresponding provisions. The production and consumption of 2013 should be frozen on the average of 2009 and 2010, respectively. In 2015, the reduction should be 10% less than 2013, cutting 35% and 67.5% in 2020 and 2025 respectively. About the fluorine refrigerant using, it should be completely eliminated in addition to the maintenance and special purpose in 2030.

Pay attention to Environmental Protection

In August 2014, BOSTON — Under a settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bozzuto’s Inc., which operates a cold storage warehouse in North Haven, Connecticut, is updating its operations so that public safety is enhanced. The company has also agreed to spend $124,181 in settling claims that it violated the federal Clean Air Act’s chemical release prevention requirements.

Vacuum cooling machine

Vacuum cooling machines have a large potential market, in food cooling and processing industry. As its refrigerant is water, which is more environment-friendly, it can be widely used and has no limit.
