Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for refrigerating and/or freezing products using a cryogenic agent. The cryogenic agent is mixed into a gas flow to form a cryogenic gas which is used to treat the products. At least one flow generator such as a fan (14) is used to generate the gas flow. During the treatment, the cryogenic gas flow is conducted past the products and on towards the intake side of the flow generator. The present invention contributes to homogeneous refrigeration/freezing of theproducts treated and has good capacity and low consumption of cryogenic agent.
Abstract:
A system and method for a scaffold deck with a fall arrest assembly is disclosed. The fall arrest assembly comprises a deck structure (102) and a rail assembly (122) for permitting an individual to tie-off in a manner that permits the individual with a range of motion along the deck structure. The fall arrest assembly further includes an uplift hook mechanism (120) connected to or otherwise installed on the deck structure such that the uplift hook mechanism is employed for both securing the deck structure to and releasing the deck structure from at least one supporting member. A plurality of deck hooks (118) connectable to or otherwise installed on the decking structure for connecting the decking structure to the supporting member is additionally provided. A deck latch assembly located connected to the uplift hook mechanism additionally facilitates connection of the deck structure to a second deck structure.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a procedure and system for producing a cryogenic product, more precisely supercooled ice, and application of this product. In accordance with the present invention, the cryogenic product is produced based on ice in various forms/pieces. The ice, which is made from fresh water and/or salt water, possibly with other additives, is mixed with a cryogenic agent such as carbon dioxide in solid form or liquid form and/or liquid nitrogen and/or liquid air to form a mixture. The carbon dioxide is subsequently permitted to sublimate almost completely and/or the nitrogen and/or the liquid air is permitted to boil before the product is finished and the carbon dioxide gas and/or nitrogen gas is removed from the product. The system comprises a mixer (2 or 102) with an inlet (3 or 107) for the supply of a cryogenic agent and a supply pipe (5 or 103) for the supply of ice, and the mixer comprises means (2 or 102) for mixing the products stated and an outlet (6 or 105) for the removal of the finished product. An extraction system (4 or 104) is provided to remove carbon dioxide gas and/or nitrogen gas. The temperature in the cryogenic product can be maintained, the temperature increase can be reduced, or the temperature in the product can be further lowered by storage in a freezing room. The cryogenic product is particularly well suited for the processing/treatment/transport/storage of products, for example foods, especially fish and other seafood products.
