Restructuring of OAO RTPK Rosmyasomoltorg refrigerating plants and modern product storage technologies

Abstract

The increase in profitability of operation of cold stores under present conditions is not possible without restructuring of cold combines. The restructuring includes: arrangement of smaller capacity cold rooms in large compatible rooms that were previously included in the design and now exist at the enterprises; affective system of air cooling of low- temperature rooms with forced air modification; use of completely new derating devices with longitudinal finning instead of standard winding finning; use of heat reflecting materials; improvement of refrigeration treatment of meat products; use of heat exchange apparatuses and devices with the use of electrical convection which allows to manage heat and mass exchange processes; introduction of meat freezing using electrical convection.

At the present time the method of short-term storage of unpacked frozen meat at -12 C instead of -18 C has been developed and being introduced for conditions of increased freight turnover. It ensures the reduction of energy consumption and specific refrigeration consumption in the subsystem of artificial refrigeration consumption by 1.5 times in case of cold rooms loading at 25%. With the loading increase to 100% there will la 3.7-4-fold reduction of refrigeration consumption with the preservation of quality characteristics of products under storage.
