Abstract
A freeze plate is provided. The freeze plate includes a freeze plate surface, a sealed chamber adjacent the freeze plate surface, one or more refrigerant lines in said sealed chamber, and a fluid in said sealed chamber in thermal contact with the freeze plate surface and the one or more refrigerant lines.
Claims (8)
1. An apparatus for cooling a food product, comprising:
a plate for holding the product, wherein the product is placed on a first side of said plate;
a chamber connected to said plate;
a fluid disposed within said chamber, and at least one refrigerant line in contact with said fluid, wherein a coolant flows through said refrigerant line, and said fluid is in contact with at least a portion of a second side of said plate.
a plate for holding the product, wherein the product is placed on a first side of said plate;
a chamber connected to said plate;
a fluid disposed within said chamber, and at least one refrigerant line in contact with said fluid, wherein a coolant flows through said refrigerant line, and said fluid is in contact with at least a portion of a second side of said plate.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said fluid contacts all of said second side of said plate.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said chamber has an elevated portion that is higher than said first surface of said plate.
4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said refrigerant line is suspended in said fluid.
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said refrigerant line abuts said second side of said plate.
6. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a temperature sensor disposed within said fluid, to measure a temperature of said fluid.
7. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising a controller in communication with said temperature sensor, wherein said controller regulates the flow of said coolant through said refrigerant line.
8. A method of controlling the temperature of a freeze plate, the method comprising the steps of:
supplying a flow of a coolant through at least one refrigerant tube, wherein said refrigerant tube is in contact with a fluid;
measuring a temperature of said fluid, and adjusting said flow of said coolant based on said temperature of said fluid, wherein said fluid and said refrigerant tube are disposed within a chamber, and said chamber is connected to the freeze plate, so that said fluid contacts at least a portion of the freeze plate.
supplying a flow of a coolant through at least one refrigerant tube, wherein said refrigerant tube is in contact with a fluid;
measuring a temperature of said fluid, and adjusting said flow of said coolant based on said temperature of said fluid, wherein said fluid and said refrigerant tube are disposed within a chamber, and said chamber is connected to the freeze plate, so that said fluid contacts at least a portion of the freeze plate.
