Hi LC,

This should be an interesting topic. I will start out with some initial cooling types and classifications:
  1. Vacuum cooling
  2. Hydrocooling
  3. Cooling during processing (how many different types are used) - chilled water & air
  4. Cooling for storage (CA, ULO, etc.)
  5. Cooling for distribution (reefers - land & sea)
  6. Supermarkets - display cases, etc.
  7. Consumer - refrigerators/freezers
Can anyone elaborate on various experiences and systems they have seen?
