Abstract: Systems and methods directed to oven ventilation for convective cooking and drying of food are presented herein. In one embodiment, a thermal processing apparatus includes: a housing and a powered conveyor belt configured for supporting work products during thermal processing. The conveyor belt is moving along a spiral path arranged as a tiered stack. A recirculation system is configured for directing a thermal processing medium through the tiers of the spiral conveyor in a recirculating flow. An exhaust vent has an inlet proximate to an area of a high moisture content inside the housing. The exhaust vent is configured for exfiltrating the thermal processing medium having the high moisture content. An opening is configured for infiltrating the thermal processing medium from outside of the housing.

Abstract: A cooking system having adjustable oven cooking zones generally in- cludes a spiral stack (22) disposed within a cooking oven chamber (26), the spiral stack including a plurality of tiers (36), and a circula- tion system (24) for delivering gaseous cooking medium to the spi- ral stack in the cooking oven chamber. The system further includes a mezzanine assembly including an inner mezzanine (80,180) and an outer mezzanine(48,148), wherein the position of the inner mezzanine is movable relative to the position of the outer mezzanine. Methods for adjusting cooking zones in an oven, and systems and methods for bidirectional flow systems for cooking ovens, are also provided.
