摘要： Poultry is chilled by moving the birds with an auger in one direction and chilled water in the opposite direction. The auger that moves the birds has a segmented auger blade (23) formed with a series of blade segments (24) which overlap one another along the auger shaft (22) and define water passages (26) therebetween. A grill (36) is positioned in the passages. The water passages permit movement of chilled water through the tank, and the offset edges of adjacent auger blade segments, together with the water movement, causes a tumbling and reorientation of the birds as they are chilled and conveyed through the tank.

摘要： A tote for transporting refrigerated or frozen goods, e.g., foodstuffs, comprises an insulated container and a coolant insert. The insulated container comprises a durable, impact-resistant shell, an insulation insert, an optional corrugated liner, and a cover. The coolant insert fits within the container such that it rests on the top edge of the insulation liner sidewalls, and it holds a coolant, e.g., carbon dioxide snow. The insert has a perforated bottom wall and an insulated top wall. When the tote holds frozen goods, the perforated bottom wall is opposite the interior of the container. When the tote holds refrigerated goods, the insulated top wall is opposite the interior of the container.

摘要： An interruptible thermal bridge system including: a first thermally conductive surface positioned proximate an object which absorbs energy; a second thermally conductive surface thermally connected to the first conductive surface positioned proximate to an object which dissipates energy, a thermal switch positioned between the first and second conductive surfaces for regulating a thermal connection between the first and second surfaces by alternatively switching between a first position, blocking the conductive path and thermally insulating the first conductive surface from the second conductive surface, and a second position, opening the conductive surface with the second conductive surface.

摘要： A heat switch includes two symmetric jaws. Each jaw is comprised of a link connected at a translatable joint to a flexible arm. Each arm rotates about a fixed pivot, and has an articulated end including a thermal contact pad connected to a heat sink. The links are joined together at a translatable main joint. To close the heat switch, a closing solenoid is actuated and forces the main joint to an over-center position. This movement rotates the arms about their pivots, respectively, forces each of them into a stressed configuration, and forces the thermal contact pads towards each other and into compressive contact with a cold finger. The closing solenoid is then deactivated. The heat switch remains closed due to a restoring force generated by the stressed configuration of each arm, until actuation of an opening solenoid returns the main joint to its starting open-switch position.

摘要翻译： 热开关包括两个对称的夹爪。 每个钳口由在可平移接头处连接到柔性臂的连杆构成。 每个臂围绕固定的枢轴旋转，并且具有铰接端，其包括连接到散热器的热接触垫。 链节在可平移的主关节处连接在一起。为了关闭热开关，致动闭合螺线管并且迫使主接头处于过中心位置。 这种运动分别围绕其枢轴旋转臂，将它们分别强制成应力构型，并迫使热接触垫朝向彼此并与冷手指压缩接触。然后关闭螺线管停用。 由于每个臂的应力结构产生的恢复力，热开关保持关闭，直到开启螺线管的致动将主接头返回到其起始开启位置。
