The freezing system uses a highly effective heat transfer technology for rapid crust-freezing of raw protein-laden products. A low temperature plate filled with recirculating refrigerant begins the freezing process immediately to set the product's shape. With a firm bottom surface, the product has enough integrity to be transferred to a spiral or tunnel freezer where it can be deep frozen to 0°F. Including investment and consumable costs, mechanical freezing can be as low as one-tenth the cost of comparable cryogenic crust-freezing systems. 2, record 1, English, - crust%20freezing

The "CASCADE" superCONTACT freezing tunnel (mechanical refrigeration) uses two thin conveyors (throw-away polyethylene film) enabling the individual Quick Freezing of food products, especially if they are wet, fatty or sticky and without any risk of the products sticking together. This new process enables ultra fast freezing in two stages: product surface crust freezing on film conveyors level N° 1, followed by deep core freezing on the lower level film conveyors. These film conveyors slide over refrigerated contact plates constructed for the recirculation of a mechanically refrigerated low temperature refrigerant. 3, record 1, English, - crust%20freezing

Fuel Element. MITR-II [Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor] fuel consists of fifteen fuel plates in a rhomboid-shaped element. Each fuel plate consists of fuel sandwiched between sides of aluminum cladding, which are finned to increase the heat transfer surface area in a reactor. The uranium fuel is in a uranium-aluminum matrix called cermet. 2, record 2, English, - fuel%20plate

Seawater desalination... Features Multi-Effect Distillation(MED). Vertical Tube Evaporation(VTE). Concrete Containment Shell. Aluminum Double-fluted Evaporator Tubes. Minimal Feedwater Pretreatment... This innovative seawater desalination technology consists of an enhanced multi-effect distillation process that involves a series of fluted aluminum tube bundles vertically stacked in a concrete vacuum tower. The advantages of the technology are based on the high heat transfer performance of the tube bundles and on the reduced cost of the construction materials. 5, record 4, English, - vertical%20tube%20evaporation

Comme exemple de réalisation d'une unité d'évaporation à tubes horizontaux équipée de CMV [...] citons l'usine de la Société Knipping Gmbh à Kierspe près de Düsseldorf. Cette usine réalise le chromage et le zingage de petites pièces pour l'industrie automobile. Afin de pouvoir recycler intégralement l'eau qu'elle utilise pour le rinçage de ses pièces, l'usine dispose de petits évaporateurs dont un évaporateur Entropie avec CMV qui régénère l'eau de rinçage à partir de rinçages morts. 2, record 4, French, - %C3%A9vaporation%20%C3%A0%20tubes%20verticaux
