Abstract
The present invention provides a heat exchanger member adapted to extract or impart thermal energy from or to a body, which member comprises: a. a substantially solid core member having bores therethrough through which heat exchange medium can flow; and b. an outer cladding of stainless steel over at least those areas of the member to be in direct contact with the body.
Claims8
A cooling member adapted to cool a foodstuff, which member comprises:
- a. a substantially solid core member having bores therethrough through which a cooling medium can flow;
- and
- b. an outer cladding of stainless steel extending over at least those areas of the cooling member which are to be in direct contact with the foodstuff, which caldding is adapted to be subjected to an internal vacuum whereby the cladding is caused to conform closely to the outer face of the core member and the cladding can move in sliding engagement relative to the core member whereby differences in thermal expansion or contraction between the cladding and the core member can be accommodated.
