Summary
This article is devoted to use of refrigeration and cold chain in India, with specific emphasis on agricultural products. India is found to be vastly lacking in terms of both cold storage capacity and efficiency. Thus, there is a large potential for development. A physical design of a cooling system is modelled (based on the Indian scenario), and a further logistical implementation of this system in India is constructed. A comprehensive simulation model for the complete cooling system was used to reach an optimized system configuration, which was implemented for cooling of apples, grapes and mangoes in the respective climatic regions of Dehradun, Mumbai and Kolkata. The cooling system was evaluated in relation to the Indian scenario, and it is concluded that the system offers several potential benefits.
