  • Patent number: 10352615
    Abstract: A vacuum cooling device for the cooling of foodstuff, in particular hot bakery products has a vacuum chamber, which contains a product chamber for receiving the foodstuff for its cooling and a separation chamber, a vacuum source, which is connected with the product chamber or the separation chamber and a vapor condenser for condensation of vapor containing discharge air generated during the cooling process in the product chamber. The vapor condenser is arranged below the product chamber, whereby the vapor condenser can contain a cooling medium, if the vacuum cooling device is in the operating state. The vapor condenser comprises a cooling medium distribution device to distribute the cooling medium in the vapor condenser. The product chamber has at least an opening for supplying the vapor containing discharge air into the cooling medium.
