Characterization of airflow in a commercial cool store using a carbon monoxide gas tracer technique.

Author(s) : AMOS N. D.

Summary

The work measured airflow patterns and temperature distributions within a commercial controlled atmosphere apple cool store. An array of carbon monoxide (CO) sensors were placed spatially throughout the cool store. CO was injected into a range of positions within the cool store and time of arrival at each of the CO sensors was determined. Airflow patterns were deduced from these readings. Spatial temperature patterns were determined from an array of temperature data loggers placed within the cool store. Results showed an uneven distribution of airflow within the cool store.
