Summary

A plastic tent was designed and constructed for the controlled atmosphere (CA) storage of small quantities of fresh produce. The controlled atmosphere storage tent is suspended from pallet racking in a standard cold room and can hold two standard pallets stacked 6 feet high with produce. Tents are sealed with two airtight zippers and a small water trough, resulting in an airtight chamber that successfully maintains CA storage environments.
