Abstract:
The invention relates to an arrangement (1) and a method for cooling freshly baked bread under a negative pressure, which arrangement includes a vacuum chamber (2) which is adapted for receiving freshly baked bread for the cooling thereof; a vacuum source (3), such as a vacuum pump, which is connected to the vacuum chamber (2) for exhausting fluid from the vacuum chamber (2) and creating a negative pressure inside it. The arrangement also includes a steam generator (4) for producing steam under a negative pressure, which steam is essentially free from air, wherein the steam generator (4) is located in connection to the vacuum chamber (2), such that generated steam may be introduced into the chamber substantially without simultaneous introduction of air.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system (1) and a method for cooling freshly baked bread under sub-pressure, which system includes: a sub-pressure chamber (2) which is adapted for receiving freshly baked bread for the cooling thereof; a sub-pressure source (3), such as a vacuum pump, which is connected to the sub-pressure chamber (2) for exhausting fluid from the sub-pressure chamber (2) and creating a sub-pressure inside it; a condenser (4) for cooling steam exhausted from the sub-pressure chamber and separate condensed water (19) from it. The system also includes a heating tank (5) with a first heat exchanger (6) in which the heat generated by the condenser (4) is used for heating water.
