Abstract: A method for conditioning a food in connection with a treatment, a processing, or the production of the food in an air environment in an open conditioning space, whereby a) climatic data influencing the food in the conditioning process are captured during the conditioning process in the surroundings of the food within the conditioning space, wherein, as climatic data, the conditioning variables of temperature, absolute water content and air pressure are captured as measured values and are compared with food-related setpoint values for the temperature change process, and b) if a deviation of the measured value from the setpoint value associated therewith is detected, the surroundings of the food in the conditioning space are influenced in order to adjust the measured value to the setpoint value.

Abstract: A leavening apparatus for leavening dough pieces comprises a leavening chamber for receiving dough pieces and a climate control module for controlling the climate in the leavening chamber for the leavening process. A control device for controlling the leavening process according to climate data detected in the leavening chamber is paired with the climate control module. The climate control module comprises a device for creating an air stream and a device for creating water aerosol to be entrained by the air stream. The leavening chamber has an upper inlet for the climate control media ‘air’ and ‘moisture’ provided by the climate control module, and a lower outlet the opening width of which can be adjusted. During operation, an air stream generated by the climate control module is introduced via said inlet into the leavening chamber, said air stream flowing out of the outlet of the leavening chamber.

Abstract: Apparatus for the introduction of CO2 snow into containers for cooling the container contents or the container, comprises a CO2 snow generating device for generating the CO2 snow, a CO2 snow injection device connected to the CO2 snow generating means and having a snow tube for injecting the generated CO2 snow into the container, a the CO2 gas separating arrangement for separating CO2 gas and CO2 snow in the region of the snow tube, and the CO2 gas extraction arrangement for extracting separated the CO2 gas, the CO2 gas separating arrangement comprises an outer tube surrounding the snow tube and arranged coaxially with the outer tube projecting beyond the snow tubed in longitudinal direction thereof at the CO2 snow delivery side of the snow tube and being connected to the CO2 gas extraction arrangement in the region of the opposite side.
