Water-cooled chiller systems have typically been designed around entering condenser water temperatures of 85°F with a Optimization of Water Cooled Chiller – Cooling Tower Combinations The warm water leaving the chilled water coils is pumped to the evaporator of the chiller, where the unwanted heat from the building is transferred by the latent heat of vaporization of the refrigerant. The compre...

Seafood is an important food source for many. Consumers should be entitled to an informed choice, and there is growing concern about correct composition labeling of seafood. Due to its high price, it has been shown to be vulnerable to adulteration. In the present study, we focus on moisture levels in seafood. Moisture and crude protein contents of chilled and frozen cod, pangasius, salmon, shri...

23 As zebrafish embryos never been cryopreserved, we developed a protocol to store zebrafish embryos 24 (50% epiboly5.3 hpf) for up to 18 h at 0° C. Initial experiments to optimise cryoprotectant solution 25 demonstrated improved embryo hatching rate following chilling at 0°C for 18 h with 1 M MeOH + 26 0.1 M sucrose (56 ± 5%) compared to other combination of methanol (0.2-, 0.5 M) and sucrose ...

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of chilling method on broiler carcass skin color, moisture retention, breast fillet quality, and functionality. One hundred fifty eviscerated broiler carcasses were removed from a commercial processing line before chilling, transported to the laboratory, weighed, and chilled by dry air or immersion in ice water. Postchill carcasses were weighed fo...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to evaluate the potential protective effects of omega-3 poly unsaturated fatty acids (Ω-3 PUFAs) on bovine sperm quality in response to cooling and cryopreservation. MATERIALS AND METHODS : In this experimental study included ejaculates from five proven fertile bulls, allocated to the control and the four experimental groups. For group 1, polyethylene glyco...

The effect of chilling on photosystem II (PSII) efficiency was studied in the variegated leaves of Calathea makoyana, in order to gain insight into the causes of chilling-induced photoinhibition. Additionally, a relationship was revealed between (chilling) stress and variation in photosynthesis. Chilling treatments (5 degrees C and 10 degrees C) were performed for different durations (1-7 d) un...
