  • Cooling equipment
    Patent number: 5388429
    Abstract: Equipment for cooling or maintaining the temperature of food or other products is disclosed. The cooling equipment uses turbulent rather than laminar (or no) airflow to promote and enhance product cooling and contemplates refrigeration tubing contacting the interior sides rather than exterior surfaces of an associated liner. Isolating the airflow system from the ambient environment reduces the possibility of product warming or contamination caused by contact with warmer, debris-laden ambient air.
