ABSTRACT:
A chiller for edible food products of the type employing hygroscopic liquid refrigerant is disclosed. The chiller includes an enclosure having an entrance and an exit. A conveyor transports edible food products within the enclosure from the entrance to the exit thereof. The conveyor defines a plurality of angled flights or runs which extend within the enclosure in spaced, parallel relationship to each other and transport the product generally vertically and horizontally along each of the flights within the enclosure in a serpentine fashion. A liquid refrigerant supply including a distribution pan is supported above the enclosure for directing liquid refrigerant downwardly over the edible food products carried by the conveyor. The liquid refrigerant contacts or intersects several of the flights in a cascading manner thereby contacting a plurality of the food products which are vertically spaced and carried on different flights of the conveyor.
