Abstract(s)
A aplicação do frio na conservação de alimentos, técnica utilizada rudimentarmente desde os primórdios, representa actualmente uma tecnologia em constante progresso, tanto a nível de métodos de aplicação como a nível de equipamentos utilizados para tal.
Devido a imposições do regime político Salazarista, que se fez sentir durante muitos anos em Portugal, os equipamentos destinados à produção de frio industrial foram introduzidos tardiamente no nosso país.
Inicialmente foi elaborada uma Rede de Frio que abrangia uma rede de centros principais, uma rede de centros secundários e uma rede de distribuição, no continente e nas províncias ultramarinas. Dado o ponto de partida, gradualmente foram adoptadas as tecnologias mais inovadoras e vanguardistas utilizadas na Europa e nos Estados Unidos.
Desde o seu surgimento, a produção de frio industrial sempre foi uma área em constante progresso e nesse sentido verificou-se logo um grande interesse no aprofundamento do conhecimento da temática por parte dos primeiros fabricantes nacionais.
Um dos fabricantes mais conceituados de equipamentos de frio industrial em Portugal é a Centauro SGPS, que se dedica ao fabrico de condensadores, evaporadores e aplicações especiais tais como: centrais, grupos de condensação e instalações frigoríficas. Paralelamente também se dedica à investigação e desenvolvimento de soluções que vão de encontro às tecnologias mais actuais e promissoras no ramo de AVAC&R.
A crescente consciencialização perante a sustentabilidade ambiental e a situação económica actual tem levado à realização de diversos estudos, com vista a melhoria da concepção, design e eficiência energética dos equipamentos de produção de frio industrial, tanto a nível nacional como a nível internacional.
The application of cold in the food preservation, the technique used rudimentary since the beginning, today is a technology in constant progress, both in terms oh methods oh application as the level of equipment used for that. Due to impositions of the political regime of Salazar, that was felt many years in Portugal, the equipments for cold production were introduced very late in our country. Initially was elaborated one network of cold that reached the main centers, one network of secondary centers and one network of distribution, in the continent and in the overseas provinces. Giving the starting point, gradually were adopted the most innovated and avant-garde technologies used in Europe and in the USA. Since his appearance, the industrial production of cold was always one area in constant progress and since that it was felt a big interest in the knowledge of that theme from the first national manufacturers. One of the most highly regarded manufacturers of industrial cold in Portugal is the Centauro SGPS, that dedicates in the making of condensers, evaporators and special applications such as: centrals, condensing groups and freezing installations. At the same time it dedicates also in the investigation and the development of solutions that goes along with modern and promising technologies in the branch of HVAC&R. The growing of awareness due to environmental sustainability and the actual economic situation has led to the achievement of many studies, with the propose of design improve and energetic efficiency of industrial cold production, such as in a national or international level.
