Abstract
A rapid cooling system for processing food is disclosed which includes a heat exchanger adapted to receive a first coolant (Coolant-I) at a first temperature and eject Coolant-I at a second temperature, a cooling chamber disposed within the heat exchanger in thermal communication with the heat exchanger, the cooling chamber includes a first inlet adapted to receive a product at an elevated temperature (T), a second inlet adapted to receive a second coolant (Coolant-II) at a low temperature (T), and an outlet adapted to release a combination of the product and Coolant-II at a low temperature (T) and pressure (P), wherein cooling of the product from Tto Tdoes not cause a phase change in the product.
