Abstract

A possibility of use of turborefrigerators of type ATR working on the principle of the air refrigeration cycle for food technological processes is considered. The characteristics of turborefrigerators and turbo-detanders whose standard sizes were adapted to parametric range of screw compressors are presented.

On the basis of ATR and appropriate compressors the air refrigerating units ARA are created, that have become the basis for freezing-refrigerating-thermal stations (MHTS) producing cold for quickfreezing apparatuses and also low potential heat.

Characteristics of a tunnel quick-freezing apparatus STAB, which obtains refrigeration from turborefrigerator are given, and its comparison with other types of tunnel apparatuses is carried out.
