Product load
Short definitionThe heat removed to bring incoming product down to storage temperature. It is set by the daily intake and the entering temperature.
What matters is the amount coming in per day, not the total stock in the room. If a room with a 100 tonne capacity takes in 5 tonnes a day, the calculation is done on 5 tonnes.
The warmer the product comes in, the bigger the load. If the product will freeze in the room, the latent heat released during freezing is added as well. In blast freezers this is the main source of load.
