Summary

Refrigeration load due to heat conduction through walls and roof has been analyzed by the transfer function coefficient method. This is the largest component representing about 41.14% of the total load during the entire loading season. On a particular day, ie, on April 14, 1986, the hourly heat load from walls and roof of a potato cold storage plant located at Pantnagar, Uttar Pradesh, was varying from 31,444 to 37,360 kilowattheure. It is minimum at about midnight (01 00 h) and maximum at 17 00 h. Any strategy for conservation of energy in cold storage plants should mainly aim at reducing heat load through walls and roof. This paper describes a simple method to analyze the dynamic heat conduction load through walls and roof of a cold storage plant which is also easy for evolving a computer program.
