Abstract
Sources and magnitudes of thermal energy losses, as well as fuels for energy, were examined in three sauerkraut processing plants in Western New York. The fuels for thermal energy accounted for 86 to 95% of the total energy purchased by the plants. With suitable energy conservation measures, present usage of thermal energy (Btu) per case containing 24 size 303 cans can be reduced by 6 to 33% depending on characteristics of the plant.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
