Definitions
- PROCESS AND PLANT FOR PROCESSING - CRUTCHING / COOLING / FREEZING - OF PRODUCTS The present invention relates to the field of methods and installations for cryogenic treatment of products, in particular food, the targeted treatments being in particular the crusting treatments (freezing of all or part of the surface of the product), cooling or freezing.
- the freezing of food products is usually done in freezing tunnels where the cold is obtained by mechanical means.
- the Applicant had proposed in document EP-A-505 222 a new concept of process for freezing food products, according to which the product is brought into contact with a cooling surface, which results from the use of a vibrating support and of 'A liquefied gas, the cooling surface consisting of a film of liquefied gas disposed on the support.
- this system works as follows: a large quantity of liquid nitrogen is injected into the tank, which is for example in a slightly rising slope configuration. The overflow of liquid leaves the device with the products. The nitrogen is then separated from the products by a grid located at the outlet of the device. The nitrogen thus recovered is recycled: it is collected in a reserve then pumped by a piston pump and leaves in the treatment tank.
- the nitrogen level is kept substantially constant in the reserve thanks to a valve controlled by a probe which measures the level of liquid nitrogen.
- a probe which measures the level of liquid nitrogen.
- the processing of products is regular; - The intensity of the treatment can be adjusted by modifying the slope of the tank;
- the duration of the treatment can be adjusted by modifying the amplitude of the vibrations
- injection flow pump flow
- the system poses problems for small products and powders: in fact the size of the product can become smaller than the size of the orifices of the grid, and thus circulate in a closed circuit with nitrogen, which, it is understandable, is not satisfactory from the health point of view.
- one of the objectives of the present invention is to propose operating conditions which make it possible to eliminate this pump, to replace it with a device making it possible to obtain a constant temperature of the products after treatment and to maintain a constant level d nitrogen in the treatment tank without the need for nitrogen recycling.
- the invention relates to a process for total or partial freezing of a product, in particular a food product, according to which the product is brought into contact, in order to freeze the product at at least one of its surfaces, in a treatment tank with a cooling surface which results from the use of a vibrating support and a film of a cryogenic liquid placed on said support, characterized by the implementation of the following measures:
- a data acquisition and processing unit capable of receiving the temperature information provided by said probe and of feedback if necessary on the opening rate of said proportional valve.
- the vibrating support has a slightly descending slope and ending in a slight rise thus able to contain a certain amount of cryogenic liquid, and said temperature probe is located substantially at the place of accumulation of the cryogenic liquid.
- the vibrating support has an ascending slope.
- a grid capable of filtering all or part of the cryogenic liquid entrained with the products in their upward progression.
- the following temperature regulation is also implemented: i) there is a product temperature sensor located in the passage of the products leaving the treatment tank, capable of measuring the temperature of the products after treatment; j) there is a data acquisition and processing unit capable of receiving the temperature information supplied by the said product temperature probe and of feedback if necessary on means of variation of the slope of tilt of the support and / or on means for varying the frequency of vibration of the support and / or on the opening rate of said proportional valve.
- safety regulation is also implemented: a) there is a safety temperature probe located in the treatment tank, a little before the products leave the tank, capable of measuring the temperature in its place location, b) said means for supplying the tank with cryogenic liquid comprise an all-or-nothing valve (safety valve); c) there is a data acquisition and processing unit capable of receiving the temperature information supplied by said safety temperature probe and of feedback if necessary to open or close said all or nothing valve (of security).
- safety valve all-or-nothing valve
- cryogenic liquid is liquid nitrogen.
- the present invention also relates to an installation for total or partial freezing of a product, in particular a food product, comprising a treatment tank which comprises a vibrating support capable of receiving a film of a cryogenic liquid, characterized in that it comprises:
- cryogenic liquid which comprise a proportional valve
- a data acquisition and processing unit capable of receiving the temperature information supplied by said probe and of feedback if necessary on the opening rate of said proportional valve.
- the vibrating support has a slightly descending slope and ending in a slight rise thus able to contain a certain amount of cryogenic liquid, and said temperature probe is located substantially at the place of accumulation of the cryogenic liquid.
- the vibrating support has an ascending slope.
- a grid capable of filtering all or part of the cryogenic liquid entrained with the products in their upward progression.
- the installation further includes: i) a product temperature sensor located in the passage of the products leaving the treatment tank, capable of measuring the temperature of the products after treatment; j) a data acquisition and processing unit able to receive the temperature information supplied by the said product temperature probe and to feed back, if necessary if necessary, on means for varying the inclination slope of the support, and / or on means for varying the frequency of vibration of the support and / or on the rate of opening of said proportional valve.
- Said means for supplying the container with cryogenic liquid comprise an all-or-nothing safety valve and the installation further comprises: a) a safety temperature probe located in the treatment tank, a little before the exit of the products from the tank capable of measuring the temperature at its location, b) a data acquisition and processing unit capable of receiving the temperature information provided by said safety temperature probe and to feed back if necessary if necessary to open or close said all-or-nothing valve.

- FIG. 4 is a schematic view of another embodiment of a freezer installation with vibrating support according to the present invention (situation of downward slope).
- FIG. 5 is a schematic view of another embodiment of a vibrating support freezing installation according to the present invention (situation of upward slope).
- Figure 1 there is shown a schematic view of a freezer installation with vibrating support according to the prior art as illustrated by document EP-A-505222 mentioned above in the present description.
- the tank is in an upward slope situation.
- the overflow of cryogenic liquid leaves the device with the products.
- the nitrogen is then separated from the products by a grid system 5.
- the nitrogen thus recovered is recycled (loop 3) as follows: the nitrogen is collected in a reserve (4) then pumped by a piston pump and thus leaves in the treatment (return line 6).
- the nitrogen level is kept substantially constant in the reserve thanks to a valve 7 controlled by a probe 8 which measures the level of liquid nitrogen.
- FIG. 2 then illustrates an embodiment of the invention which will now be detailed.
- the treatment tank 1 is adjusted according to a slightly descending slope and ends with a slight rise to contain a small amount of cryogenic liquid.
- a temperature sensor 10 is located in the treatment tank, a little before the product leaves, substantially at the place where the liquid nitrogen accumulates and the level stabilizes.
- the nitrogen bed was controlled by overflow using a recirculation pump in a closed circuit
- the nitrogen bed is here dynamically controlled by constantly adapting the quantity of nitrogen injected into the machine regardless of the consumption of the device.
- the temperature probe is of the “heated” type. Indeed, the work carried out by the Applicant has demonstrated that it is illusory to use a traditional probe in this situation. In fact, when the level of cryogenic liquid rises and touches the probe, the latter typically sees a temperature close to, for example, -200 ° C. When the liquid level goes down, the probe remains initially surrounded by a very cold gas phase (whose temperature is close to -200 ° C), which means that the probe only sees (and therefore translates) little difference between the situation where it touches the film of cryogenic liquid and the situation where it no longer touches it. Hence the advantage of constantly heating the probe. We will describe in the following an embodiment of such a heated probe, in this case a type probe "double Pt100" marketed by many suppliers in this field of temperature measurement.
- the probe in question consists of: -
- a platinum resistance temperature sensor operating as follows, the resistance varies according to the temperature: at 0 ° C, the resistance is for example 100 Ohm, when the temperature increases, the resistance increases. Similarly, when the temperature decreases, the resistance decreases (for example: 138.51 Ohm at 100 ° C and 60.26 Ohm at -100 ° C).
- a device connected to this resistance can measure the resistance value and deduce the temperature using a conversion table.
- a second platinum resistance temperature probe can be used in the same way and thus makes it possible to check the temperature measured by the first probe.
- connection wires connected to the first platinum resistance and two connection wires connected to the second platinum resistance.
- the traditional use of such a "double Pt100" probe is as follows: The resistance value of the platinum resistors varies according to the temperature. As the temperature increases, the resistance increases. Similarly, when the temperature decreases, the resistance decreases (example: 138.51 Ohm at 100 ° C and 60.26 Ohm at -100 ° C).
- the first platinum resistance is connected to a device which measures the value of the resistance and deduces the temperature using a conversion table.
- the second platinum resistance temperature probe is used in the same way and thus makes it possible to check the temperature measured by the first probe.
- this probe is made for another use, by making it a “heated probe”, this in the following manner.
- the first platinum resistor is permanently supplied with a voltage of 5 volts. It therefore dissipates a variable power depending on its temperature (0.25 Watt at 0 ° C) which causes a slight heating which is also variable depending on the temperature (from +10 to + 80 ° C depending on the ambient temperature).
- the second platinum resistance is traditionally used by being connected to a resistance measurement device with calculation and display of the temperature.
- the temperature thus measured is therefore influenced by the other platinum resistance which dissipates a power.
- the device is then ready to operate near a level of cryogenic liquid, for example liquid nitrogen:
- the ambient temperature of the gases is very close to -196 ° C, however, with the power dissipation of the first platinum resistance, the temperature of the entire probe and therefore the measured temperature is approximately -130 ° C.
- this device makes it very easy to determine whether the level of liquid nitrogen is located above or below this dual temperature probe: If the measured temperature is below -180 ° C, we deduce that y with contact between the probe and the liquid, if the measured temperature is higher than
- valve 12 will then open enough to compensate for this demand while maintaining a constant temperature of the products. leaving the machine. Conversely, if the machine is no longer supplied with products, the valve 12 will see its opening reduced to let only pass the quantity sufficient to maintain the level in the tank (keeps the machine cold).
- the valve 15 then operates according to the following logic:
- Figure 2 has just illustrated a downward slope configuration.
- a small "puddle” with a depth close to 0.5 cm is created at the change of slope (this is only given as an illustration of orders of magnitude) while upstream of the slope , opposite the outlet of the means 4, the depth is almost zero (nitrogen runoff).
- FIG. 3 illustrates for its part, with the same constituent elements, and therefore the same reference numbers, a tank in the upward slope position.
- the nitrogen level in the treatment tank may be insufficient on a downward slope.
- Orienting the tank along a slightly upward slope makes it possible to create a nitrogen bed in the bottom of the tank on the side of the product inlet (typically upstream of the slope a depth close to 2cm, while the depth at the end of the upward slope is close to 0).
- FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate an advantageous embodiment of the invention (respectively in situations of downward and upward slopes) where a probe for measuring the outlet temperature of the products is also used. It indeed appears that for certain user sites where the initial temperature of the incoming products can vary significantly from one moment to another of the day, the level regulation previously illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 may prove to be insufficiently effective. In accordance with the present invention, it is therefore very particularly advantageous to apply moreover a regulation on the outlet temperature of the products as described below. As will be seen, this regulation will also make it possible to adapt the temperature drop applied to the products.
- the “products” temperature sensor is located in a less harsh environment than the temperature sensor present at the tank outlet and therefore this “Products” temperature sensor can be of the traditional type (unheated).
- a heated temperature probe 10 is located in the treatment tank, a little before the product leaves, substantially at the point where the liquid nitrogen accumulates and the level stabilizes, and allows as already described to regulate the quantity of fresh cryogenic liquid reinjected into the system via the valve 12 and the regulator 11.
- this embodiment also carries out via the probe 20 a control of the final temperature of the products, after treatment, and reacts if necessary, according to the result of this control on the slope of the tank 1 and / or on the vibration frequency. (via the unit 21 and the means 22 for varying the slope of the tank and / or the vibration frequency).
- the system adapts its operation so as to obtain a constant temperature of the products, whatever the initial conditions of inlet flow and initial temperature.
- the system will then feed back on the vibration frequency to modify the passage time of the products in the tank, in this case in the example cited here by reducing the vibration frequency, which will make it possible to shake the products less quickly along of their journey and therefore leave them longer in liquid nitrogen (and thus find, by successive iterations, the desired lower temperature).
- the system will here decrease the downward slope or even in some cases create an upward slope to initially slow down the speed of movement of the products in the tray and in a second time create a bed of cryogenic liquid and increase its depth as needed.
- the treatment time will be longer, the contact of the product with the liquid will then be more complete and more intense, which will allow, by successive iterations, to lower the final temperature of the products to the desired level.
- the temperature of the products after treatment is stable whatever the flow of incoming products and their temperature before treatment;
- the duration of the treatment can be adjusted by modifying the slope of the device.
