ICE-POND REFRIGERATION SYSTEM FOR LONG-TERM POTATO STORAGE.

Author(s) : KOWATA H., SATO Y., MORI M.

Summary

ICE PRODUCTION TOOK PLACE IN AN OPEN-AIR ICE POND BY AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED INTERMITTENT SPRAYING OF THIN WATER SHEETS. THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM WORKS BY HEAT EXCHANGE BETWEEN AIR AND THE ICE-COOLED WATER EXTRACTED FROM THE ICE POND. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT REFRIGERATION WITH THIS SYSTEM WAS SUFFICIENT TO KEEP THE TEMPERATURE OF THE STORAGE SHED AT 2 TO 3 DEG C TILL THE END OF JULY. POTATO QUALITY WAS QUITE GOOD EVEN AFTER 10 MONTHS OF STORAGE.
