The present work proposes a continuous solar adsorption refrigerator for positive cold storage room of 231 m3 used fruits and vegetables preservation installed in the south Tunisia. After estimation cooling load which is equal to 13 kW, parametric study, aims improve performance chiller done order achieve need estimate required heat generator. A theoretical model, based on thermodynamics proces...

OBJECTIVE To determine if applying chilled solution to exposed cerebral cortex can reduce interictal epileptiform activities in patients during surgery. METHODS Electrocorticography was used to record the epileptiform activity of 12 patients (ages 18-53) undergoing cortical mapping and resection surgery. Interictal spikes were counted at baseline and compared with spikes after applying room t...

Preservation of canine spermatozoa at 50C is a helpful method for dog breeding management. However, in many species, oxidative damage due to generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and long term storage which specifically cause DNA damage, and lipid peroxidation during preservation techniques can cause a decline of sperm motility and fertility capacity. In this study, the effect of antioxid...

BACKGROUND Cryopreservation of zebrafish embryos is still an unsolved problem despite market demand and massive efforts to preserve genetic variation among numerous existing lines. Chilled storage of embryos might be a step towards developing successful cryopreservation, but no methods to date have worked. METHODS In the present study, we applied a novel strategy to improve the chilling toler...

In this paper, we present what was learned in the research & design process of a decentralized ventilation system with chilled ceilings for a commercial office in Singapore. We make two key observations from the knowledge gathered. First, we observe, in quantitative terms, that present-day radiant cooling panel products may not provide sufficient sensible cooling capacity for commercial offices...

The technique (sperm chromatin structure assay) used in this study identifies one reason (a decrease in chromatin quality) for stallions whose semen shows reduced fertility when chilled. This assay is a diagnostic test, in addition to the use of sperm motility and morphologic evaluation, to evaluate the quality of chilled stallion semen and further aid the practitioner and the breeding industry...

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...
