SENSIBLE HEAT ABOVE FREEZINGMost products are at a higher temperature than the storagetemperature when placed in a refrigerator. Sincemany foods have a high percentage of water content,their reaction to a loss of heat is quite different aboveand below the freezing point. Above the freezing point,the water exists in liquid form, while below the freezingpoint, the water has changed its state to ice.As mentioned previously, the specific heat of a productis defined as the BTUs required to raise the temperatureof one pound of the substance 1°F. The specific heatsof various commodities are listed in Tables 10, 11, and12. Note that in Table 10 the specific heat of the productabove freezing is different than the specific heat belowfreezing, and the freezing point (listed in the first column)varies, but in practically all cases is below 32°F.The heat to be removed from a product to reduce itstemperature above freezing may be calculated as follows:Q = W x c x (T 1- T 2)Q = BTU to be removedW = Weight of the product in poundsc = Specific heat above freezingT 1= Initial temperature, °F.T 2= Initial temperature, °F. (freezing or above)For example, the heat to be removed in order to cool1,000 pounds of veal (whose freezing point is 29°F.)from 42°F. to 29°F. can be calculated as follows:Q = W x c x (T 1- T 2)= 1000 pounds x .71 specific heat x (42-29)= 1000 x .71 x 13= 9,230 BTU14-7© 1968 Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.All rights reserved.
