Heat load by frost formation
I wonder why I never see any one / or book calculating the total heat load of cold store or freezing tunnel with the inclusion of the latent heat load due to the ice formation. Part of the refrigeration capacity will spent on making ice so less capacity is available to cool down the air temperature and remove moisture from the air.
Usually I consider about 5%...8% of the total capacity to compensate this "negative" effect.
I'd like to hear your comments please.To make progress is never good enough, I want to do better and better and better
