Description of energy balance for selected refrigeration furniture

Abstract

Food is a product that breaks down quickly and easily. Therefore, it require storage at a low and controlled temperature. Maintaining a constant temperature inside the refrigeration furniture requires removal of the heat which enters the interior of the furniture and the heat produced by stored products. The paper presents methods of heat transfer implementation, such as: heat conduction (including fluid stratification case), natural and forced convection and radiation. Heat balance have been presented for selected refrigeration furniture including the characteristics of its individual parameters. A method for determining the components of a heat balance is also presented.
