"Jaden's mantra of fresh and healthy cooking aligns beautifully with our message, especially with our increased presence in the steam-cooking arena. Additionally, Thermador's partnership with Jaden further strengthens our relationship with the food-blogging community, which provides a direct link to the cooking enthusiasts we are so passionate about."[FIGURE 10 OMITTED]The charts gave us the same information as with the eutectic profile. The peak temperature chart (Figure 8) tells us that if we were using the recipe we established for the 360 g board, and we wanted to run a 75 g board in the parallel lane, we would need to increase the belt speed to 60 IPM. Figures 9 and 10 tell us that the TAL and soak of the 75 g board with a belt speed of 60 IPM would be approximately 40 and 20 sec.a = the heat transfer coefficient of the board and componentsThe luxury-appliance brand, buzzing lately from the introduction of its Steam & Convection Oven , announced today it has partnered with food-blogging sensation Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen , widely considered one of the food industry's most influential personalities. Hair will be crafting recipes in her new Thermador professional kitchen, and will serve as a contributor to Thermador's social media platforms, including its blog: www.thermador.com/blog .Application. When running a new board in a single-lane oven, we adjust the profile by modifying the set points ([DELTA]T) and/or the belt speed (t) to obtain the correct profile. But if two different boards are run in a dual-lane oven, we can only change the belt speed because both lanes see the same temperature (set points).Likewise, if we wanted to run the 520 g board with the 360 g board zone temperatures, we needed a belt speed of 38 IPM to maintain the peak temperature. The resulting TAL would be 80 sec. and soak would be 85 sec.Pb-free recipe. Next we repeated the data acquisition for a Pb-free profile. We established the baseline recipe for a Pb-free ramp-to-peak profile on the 360 g board at 44 IPM (FIGURE 7). The peak temperature target was 240[degrees]C, with a time above the 217[degrees]C liquidus of 60 sec. Since there is usually little or no soak on Pb-free profiles, we monitored the time between 140[degrees] and 170[degrees]C in the event the soak becomes & consideration in the future.Predictive software. After numerous profiles, it was realized that a method was needed to shorten the time it took to obtain the data for these charts. The data in the first trials were close to linear over the speed range; therefore, our first thought was to obtain the base profile on the primary board and then run two profiles on the secondary board with the same zone set points and belt speeds of [ or -]15 TPM. We could then connect the dots, draw a parallel line, and come up with a new belt speed for the secondary board. This would require only three profiles to establish the preliminary belt speed estimate.
