Numerical cooling kinetics of a pallet of soft cheese generating heat during the cold chain

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Objective: Numerically characterize temperature heterogeneities and the cooling kinetics of soft cheese pallet generating heat along the cold chain. Outputs Numerical temperature evolution results compared to experimental data on row R 1 , R 2 and R 3 • Numerical simulations reproduce the experimental behaviours and show an acceptable accuracy. CONCLUSION The model provides a better understanding of product temperature during cooling. It will enable industry to predict air upstream velocity and box design impact on product temperature evolution through the cold chain and ensure its control. 5 min u air = 0.25 m/s & Q =0.05W u air = 0.64 m/s & Q =0.05W
