Abstract

Furnaces and thermal chambers are created with specific guidelines in mind. These guidelines include using energy in an efficient manner, arranging products closer together to increase productivity, ensuring the direction of air flow is precise, having accurate control over temperature and humidity, making sure the equipment is reliable and convenient to use, and ensuring that any gaseous waste emissions fall within acceptable levels set by regulations. Also, a clear advantage of a heat pump is the possibility of using it at high power enterprises, where it is difficult to use water as a heating coolant. Heat pumps are also able to reduce the risk of bacterial growth, as they can maintain a safe and consistent temperature throughout the entire process. Heat pump processing is an effective and efficient method for meat products because it can achieve a high level of product uniformity with minimal product degradation.
