Author(s) : UC Davis, PRAKASH B., SINGH R. P.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This study develops a theoretical energy benchmarking model for frozen food warehouses. The model takes into account of location, season, size of the warehouse and involved three steps. First, heat entering into the refrigerated storage space from all possible sources such as walls, infiltration of warmer air through doors, people activity, forklift activity, product inflows, lights, evaporator fans and defrosters were determined. Second, electrical power to run the refrigeration system to remove the heat gain from the building is computed. Third, electric consumption by all the electrical appliances including the refrigeration cycle equipments are summed to determine total electric power consumption.
