Abstract

A cryogenic freezer of the elongated, tunnel-type is disclosed in which a centrally located blower recirculates injected cryogenic refrigerant at extremely high velocities through a pair of minimum size product contact chambers. In one preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the product contact chamber is variable so as to maintain minimum sizes for products of different height.
