Resumo: Açaí is a fruit native to the Amazon region that is important as a source of food and for a local culture and that has become popular nationally in the most recent decades, already reaching international markets. The freezing process is used to delay the deterioration of food, preserving its nutritional properties. This is relevant to understand the thermal load calculation in order to be able to dimension the refrigeration equipment used for the industrial refrigeration cycle. The objectives of the article were to calculate the thermal load of an industrialized açaí freezing tunnel with a capacity of 20 tons in 18 hours of process and to verify the factor of greatest influence in this calculation. This is field research carried out in an açaí freezing industry in the city of Castanhal / PA and also refers to an exploratory bibliographic research based on books and scientific articles in the industrial refrigeration category. The total thermal load of the açaí freezing tunnel was calculated and reached the value of 168,347.0226 kcal/h and it was found that the factor of greatest influence in the calculation of thermal load is the factor for the product with about 81% of the total thermal load.

É utilizado o processo de congelamento para postergar a deterioração dos alimentos em geral, conservando às suas propriedades nutritivas. É relevante se compreender o cálculo de carga térmica para ser possível dimensionar adequadamente os equipamentos frigoríficos necessários para o ciclo de refrigeração industrial. Os objetivos do trabalho foram os de calcular a carga térmica de um túnel de congelamento de açaí industrializado com capacidade de 20 toneladas em 18 h de processo e verificar o fator de maior influência neste respectivo cálculo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo realizada em uma indústria de congelamento de açaí na cidade de Castanhal/PA e se refere à uma pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória baseada em livros e trabalhos científicos da categoria de refrigeração industrial. Calculou-se a carga térmica total do túnel de congelamento de açaí e se chegou no valor de 168.347,0226 kcal/h e verificou-se que o fator de maior influência no cálculo de carga térmica é o fator pelo produto com cerca de 81% da carga térmica total.Universidade Federal de Viçosa - UFV2022-04-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo, Manuscrito, Eventosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/article/view/1419010.18540/jcecvl8iss4pp14190-01eThe Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; Vol. 8 No. 4 (2022); 14190-01eThe Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; Vol. 8 Núm. 4 (2022); 14190-01eThe Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; v. 8 n. 4 (2022); 14190-01e2527-1075reponame:Revista de Engenharia Química e Químicainstname:Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)instacron:UFVporhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/article/view/14190/7298Copyright (c) 2022 The Journal of Engineering and Exact Scienceshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Marcos DuranSiqueira, Antonio Marcos de Oliveira2022-07-28T18:11:17Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufv.br:article/14190Revistahttp://www.seer.ufv.br/seer/rbeq2/index.php/req2/indexONGhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/oaijcec.journal@ufv.br||req2@ufv.br2446-94162446-9416opendoar:2022-07-28T18:11:17Revista de Engenharia Química e Química - Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)false
