Summary

A two-year experiment was performed to demonstrate computer control effectiveness of refrigerant temperature and room environment stability in a controlled atmosphere storage facility in Yakima, Washington. Refrigerant temperature was regulated by a computer-controlled ramping sequence and a weighted average temperature of three thermistors rather than a room thermostat. Bulk fruit temperature recorded in two fan-cycled rooms was exceptionally stable as compared to non-fan-cycled rooms controlled by traditional means.
