Effect of tight-stacking bins on fruit temperature reduction.

Author(s) : HELLICKSON M. L., BASKINS R. A.

Summary

Two nearly identical controlled atmosphere pear storage rooms in the USA were used to compare cool-down performance in conventionally stacked versus tight-stacked rooms. The paper describes the tests being held in different cold rooms to compare the cooling efficiency of different ways of stacking the fruit bins in the cold store. Significant differences in cooling efficiency values were received at various locations throughout the storerooms. These findings dramatically exhibit the need for a comprehensive study documenting air movement patterns and ventilation characteristics within storage rooms.
