Popis: The process of cooling chicken carcasses by immersing them in mixture of cold water and ice ( chillers ) is complex. It is very difficult to represent it by a transport phenomenon model. In this work, artificial neural networks were used with an intermediary layer in the description and modeling of the cooling process of chickens. Different architectures of the neural network were tested, altering the numbers of input and hidden units. Data supplied by the Sadia-Toledo Company were used for training and validation of the neural networks. The input variables selected for the model were the following: carcass weight, initial temperature, propylene glycol temperature with external circulation, water flow rate of water in each tank, renewal water cooling time and temperature, and as output variable the temperature of the chicken when exiting the chiller. The results obtained showed that the network with 8 neurons in the input layer and 24 in the hidden layer best represented the investigated system.
