Abstract

This article reviews the refrigeration theory applied to food products. To achieve this, the refrigeration cycle, based on the vapor compression cycle, is studied with the changes in enthalpy and pressure in the system. Furthermore, derivations of the common compression cycle and formulae applied to the different refrigeration systems are considered. Finally, an analysis about refrigerant applications and characteristics for the refrigeration process is presented.
