METHODS OF MIXER COOLING 1. 35-40 F water.circulated through mixer jacket. 2.. 15-25 F brine. 3. Direct expansion, refrigerant circulated through mixer Jacket. 4. Cracked ice added to dough in mixer. 5. Cold air introduced into mixer during mixing process. 6. Cooled agitators are used in mixers.

MIXER LOAD CALCULATIONS':-' ' i - \ :
Refrigeration is required to remove: excess ingredient, if any;.'heat generated by the beating and mixing of dough; excess heat in miTor body; heat of hydration of dour and water; and heat absorbed by mixer from atmosphere during mixing process.
Additional factors are the design and speed of mixer, consistency, kind and mass of dough.
Data Used in Calculations:
1 bbl. flour = 200 lb Heat of hydration *= 6.5 Btu per lb of flour . Specific heat of flour => 0.42 Btu per lb Water is 65% of weight of flour Flour is 65% of baton ... Sponge is 60% of batch Total motor output is converted to heat in the mixer.

In fermenting robins recent practice is to use direct radiation for heating, atomising sprays for humidify ing, and gravity convection <ymling surfaces for temperature reduction and aebumidifying thereby eliminat
ing objectionable air-currents.
Proof box and bread'cooler conditions vary slightly for dark bread.
Cakes are sterilized by ultra-violet rays before wrapping.. -

Forced ripening is accomplished in 4 to 5 days while slow ripening is extended to 7 to 9 days with lower
.temperatures.
The green fruit with a pulp temperature of 56 F is placed in a ripening room at 68 F-and 90 to 95 percent relative humidity until it begins to change color. The temperature is then lowered sharply to 60 F (or slightly less) dependent upon how quickly the fruit is to be moved.
Typical refrigeration load for ripening room per carlot, with an 85 F ambient temperature:
Insulation A electric load
= 0.4 ton *.
Live load
= 0.9 ton
Pull down,load (from 68 F to 80 F) 1.6 ton
--;.
Minimum carlot--20,000 lb which represents about 300 stems.
Since
give off minute quantities of ethylene and possibly other gases necessary for ripening,
ventilation duringstbe early stages of ripening is undesirable.
Cooling unit to be sized to provide a complete air change every If to 2 min.

Approximate rate of evolution of heat by bananas when stored at temperatures indicated:
Bananas at 54 F .= 3,300 Btu.(per ton) (24 hr). green at 68 F = 8,360 Btu (per ton) (24 hr), turning at 68 F -- 9,240 Btu (per ton) (24 hr), ripening at 63 F 8,360 Btu (per ton) (24 hr).

Wort cooled to 47 F for lager, 54 to 59 F for ale, by evaporative cooling or use of double pipe or plate type coolers with counter flow of cooling medium.
Fermentation produces 250 Btu per lb of sugar fermented. Lager fermented five days at 55 to 60 F, ale at 68 to 75 F, then cooled to storage temperature.
. Bottled beer pasteurized by heating to 140 F in twenty minutes, maintaining temperature for eighteen minutes, then cooling to 80 F in twenty minutes. Canned beer requires one-third ! tim,
Cold water, brine, direct expansion ammonia or propylene-glycol and water solutions may be used as the cooling medium.

Recovery of sugar fly in coating kettle rooms is accomplished with the use of cyclone type dust collecting devices. Supply air to coating kettles is maintained at 85 F dry-bulb and 61 F wet-bulb temperature.
Bacteriological control is employed.
