Abstract

In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology was applied to establish a mathematical model to calculate the temperature field in a pre-cooling room with beef carcasses. The results showed that the upper part of the beef carcasses cooled down faster than the lower part, and the cooling rate of beef carcasses in the windward direction was significantly higher than control. To make the average temperature of each carcass below 7 ℃, it needed to be cooled for 44 h. To make the minimum temperature of the carcass center lower than 7 ℃, it needed to be cooled for about 72 h. The temperature coefficient of variation of beef carcasses showed the Convex type curve change, and its peak value was 0.5. The temperature coefficient of variation of the first two rows reached the peak earlier 18 h than that of the second two rows. The simulation results can provide a reference for controlling the pre-cooling time reasonably, reducing energy consumption, improving the cooling efficiency and improving the quality of beef. At the same time, it also provides a theoretical reference for optimizing the structure of pre-cooling rooms with different pre-cooling requirements.
