Temperature sensitive products transportation and storage are global issues because of the
new lifestyle of the people. Here, the enhancement of the ice cream storage conditions
when it is placed outside the freezer is studied. In commercial applications like in
restaurants, the period that the ice cream stays outside the freezer is much higher than for
example in households, and therefore the quality of the ice cream decreases. The aim of
this paper is to design and to test a phase change material (PCM) package for commercial
ice cream containers. A mathematical model was validated with experimental data and
following a parametrical study of the design process was done. The experimental results
demonstrated that the use of the PCM package is beneficial for ice cream quality when it is
placed out of the freezer. |
