Summary

A heat and mass transfer numerical model is developed to describe the refrigeration process between the air and agricultural products packed in bins piled on a pallet. The model profiles the local heterogeneity of cooling in terms of a "coldest point" and a "hottest point" inside the bins for the same air flow conditions. The difference of the dimensionless surface temperature for both points up to 320%. The study permits the determination of the best location of sensors in order to prevent the over-treatment of products.
