Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0745816A1] The installation for maintaining a low temperature for food storage includes a fixed source of liquid carbon dioxide under pressure and a generator of dry ice connected to the source by a pipe. The dry ice generator includes a loading chamber (7) into which a tray can be inserted so that the dry ice is collected on the tray. The tray containing the dry ice is then transferred to a cabinet in which a number of individual meal portions may be stacked, with the dry ice tray occupying the uppermost slot in the cabinet. Within the dry ice generator there is a pivoting plate, arranged to ensure that the dry ice can be compressed into the tray after formation. This includes a surface made of a material which remains compressible at the temperature of formation of dry ice.
