Fruit temperature in apple and pear controlled atmosphere rooms as influenced by different evaporator fan operations.

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

Summary

Significant amounts of electrical energy can be conserved by the fresh fruit storage warehouses through implementation of computer controls and evaporator fan cycling or speed control. However, these technologies will not be implemented if fruit quality is sacrificed or if room temperature histories required for export qualification are not within specified limits. The paper presents fruit and air temperature data in commercial storerooms operated under various evaporator fan motor control strategies and the effects created.
