A system for providing a desired amount of cooling to a quantity of non-liquid conveyable product in a vessel within a given length of residence time including: (A) continuously feeding a mass of the product into, through and out of a vessel, at a rate that provides a predetermined length of residence time, wherein the product is moved through the vessel by engagement thereof with an impeller; and (B) feeding cryogen out of a plurality of nozzle openings directly into or onto the product in the vessel while the impeller is moving the product continuously past the nozzle openings, wherein the cryogen is fed into said non-liquid conveyable product from a sufficient number of nozzle openings to provide the desired amount of cooling to the product within the given period of residence time, and wherein the flow of cryogen out of each nozzle opening is continuous or intermittent.

The present disclosure discloses an intelligent temperature control method for very fast chilling of livestock and poultry meat, comprising: adopting a carbon dioxide refrigeration mode, monitoring a real-time temperature change, judging whether an very fast chilling requirement is met or not according to a set threshold, if not, comparing a difference with the threshold, determining a adjusting amount, changing a valve opening degree; acquiring data of the chilling rate, liquid supply and valve opening degree, adopting a neural network to analyze, learning a data set, training a control model, predicting liquid supply, adjusting, controlling a valve opening degree of a refrigeration system. The present disclosure further discloses an intelligent temperature control system for very fast chilling of livestock and poultry meat.
