Standard Test Method for Performance of Conveyor Ovens

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The energy input rate test and thermostat calibration are used to confirm that the conveyor oven is operating properly prior to further testing and to insure that all test results are determined at the same temperature.

5.2 Preheat energy and time can be useful to food service operators to manage power demands and to know how quickly the conveyor oven can be ready for operation.

5.3 Idle Energy Rate—This test provides a measure of an empty oven’s energy consumption and pilot energy during noncooking periods, at a typical cooking temperature setting. It also provides an indicator of the combined effectiveness of components of the oven’s design (for example, insulation, door seals, and combustion efficiency) that influence its energy consumption.

5.4 Cooking Energy Efficiency—A precise indicator of conveyor oven energy performance while cooking a typical food product under various loading conditions. If energy performance information is desired using a food product other than the specified test food, the test method could be adapted and applied. Energy performance information allows an end user to better understand the operating characteristics of a conveyor oven.

5.5 Production capacity information can help an end user to better understand the production capabilities of a conveyor oven as it is used to cook a typical food product and this could help in specifying the proper size and quantity of equipment. If production information is desired using a food product other than the specified test food, the test method could be adapted and applied.
