Development of controlled atmosphere storage unit.

Author(s) : YAMAMOTO N., KITAHARA T., TANAKA K., IZUMI J., TSUTAYA H.

Summary

Controlled atmosphere storage technology is effective in keeping fruits and vegetables fresh and juicy for long periods. This is effected by maintaining optimal storage conditions through the adjustment of the atmospheric composition in a cold storage shed. Controlled atmosphere storage systems typically employ a generator system which consists in an N2 generator to adjust atmosphere composition, a CO2 adsorber to adsorb and remove CO2 and an O2 converter to burn and remove ethylene gas. Instead of this conventional system, the authors developed a new and advanced controlled atmosphere storage unit which is able to effect overall adjustment with the use of a single adsorption device. The paper outlines the controlled atmosphere storage unit developed.
