摘要:
A conveyor oven for cooking food includes an oven chamber in which the food is cooked, a conveyor moveable to convey the food within the oven chamber, and a burner assembly operable to heat air for convection cooking of the food moving within the oven chamber on the conveyor. The burner assembly includes a heat source, a coiled air passage, and a suction box, the coiled air passage providing a circuitous heated air passage between the heat source and the suction box. A fan is configured to draw heated air from the suction box and exhaust the heated air into the oven chamber for convection cooking of the food moving through the oven chamber on the conveyor.

A food cooking oven includes a device for distributing water inside the cooking chamber of an oven for producing steam inside the cooking chamber, at least a first and a second impeller of corresponding electric fan units positioned, respectively, vertically one above the other, heating means for generating heat inside the cooking chamber, at least one water supply line in the intake area of each corresponding fan impeller, and a water supply conduit. At least one flow deflector device is provided in the oven, which divides the flow of water into at least a first and a second outgoing flow from the deflector, having respective predetermined values, the first outgoing flow from the deflector being guided into the intake area of the first impeller, and the second outgoing flow being guided along the second portion of conduit towards the intake area of the second impeller.

摘要:
A system for the sampling of oven air is described. A duct or channel is provided with air delivered from the interior of the oven cooking chamber. One or more sensors, including one or more temperature sensors, can be placed within the air sampling channel for the purpose of measuring characteristics of the oven cavity's air. The inlet of the air sampling channel can be positioned along a location at or near the vertical center of the oven where e.g., a food being cooked may be located so that the sampled air more accurately reflects the characteristics of the air in the vicinity of the food being cooked.
摘要:
A method of cooking food, such as fish and vegetables, using steam during a cooking cycle comprises a preheating step where the cavity is heated toward a cooking temperature and a cooking step where the cavity is maintained at the cooking temperature. The preheating step comprises a dry preheating step where no steam is introduced into the cooking cavity and a steam preheating step where steam is introduced into the cavity.
摘要:
An oven and method for cooking solid foods. The oven comprises an elongated housing divided into tandem cooking zones each with separate cooking and heating chambers. Food products are carried on a vapor perious conveyor through the cooking chambers as a distinct cooking process vapor is recirculated in each zone at different rates between the heating and cooking chambers. In one zone, the process vapor is circulated generally laterally of the conveyor over the food in a turbulent mode and then recirculated for reheating in a path parallel to the conveyor.
摘要:
A gas-fired combination steam and dry oven has an oven cavity that is heated by heat exchange from one or more fire tubes and a boiler that is located outside the oven cavity and is heated by heat exchange from one or more other fire tubes. Both the oven and boiler fire tube heat exchangers employ natural draft gas burners. The combination oven can be operated as a forced-air convection oven, a forced-flow convection oven circulating superheated steam, or a steamer circulating saturated steam. Sensors in the oven supply information to a microprocessor that controls the gas burners to maintain an oven temperature within 5.degree. F. or less. Sensors of the level of water in the boiler assure that the water level stays within predetermined limits. Tray stops keep foods and the trays containing them away from the walls of the oven to permit free circulation of air, saturated steam, or superheated steam. Sensors of water temperature in the boiler and of the circulating mixture of air and water vapor temperature in the oven chamber permit the control of relative humidity when the oven is used to proof dough or hold cooked food at a relatively low temperature. Control of the temperature of water in the boiler is aided by blowdown and replacement if the water temperature becomes too high.
