Abstract
The tunnel oven generally includes a plurality of spaced cooking compartments through which a conveyor transports food products. An air distribution chamber is formed in an upper portion of each cooking chamber and is vertically spaced from the conveyor. A blower draws air from the cooking compartment and discharges air into the air distribution chamber in a plane generally parallel to the plane of the conveyor. A pair of plenums in the cabinet adjacent one edge of the conveyor deliver air from the distribution chamber to a plurality of air dispensing ducts communicating with the plenums on opposite sides of the conveyor for dispensing air onto opposite sides of the conveyor.
