Studies of air distribution in the holds of a refrigerated ship to design the gratingless air circulation concept for pallet reefers.

Author(s) : MOHLIN R., OLESZKO J.

Summary

The paper discusses complications arising in the transport of fruit on pallets and presents some results from full-scale tests of banana cargo. A novel air circulation concept for pallet reefers is described and evaluated. The system can be used for transport of perishable cargo without the need for deck gratings. All pallets are individually equipped with a special "sealing ring for palletized cargo" (patent applied for). The ring improves air penetration through the cargo, providing the means for quick reduction of the pulp temperature. Performance is similar to that with break-bulk cargo on gratings. The invention can be used when transporting pallets on gratings if the performance of the existing system needs to be improved.
