Abstract

The structural parameters of nozzle in quick freezer have great influence on the nozzle outlet velocity, and the nozzle outlet velocity directly affects the freezing efficiency of the quick freezer. A V type slot nozzle was simulated with CFD software. The effect of the V type slot nozzle structure parameters variation on nozzle outlet velocity was studied by using Response Surface Methodology. Finally, the optimal structural parameters of the nozzle were obtained: the nozzle outlet height was 3.97 mm, the nozzle outlet width was 8 mm, the V type diversion trench height was 71.63 mm and the V type diversion trench angle was 29.57°. The conclusion provided a theoretical basis for optimal design of nozzle structure of quick freezer.
