Résumé

The cooling behavior of horticultural products in multi-package systems is primarily affected by the airflow behavior, which in turn, is influenced by the design of primary and secondary packaging. An experimental study was conducted to characterize the cooling rate and its heterogeneity within a device representing a half layer of a pallet with two trays of airtight clamshells containing strawberries. The tray design's cooling efficiency was explored by comparing the existing design to two alternatives, investigating the impact of air headspace and additional vent holes. Results revealed significant cooling heterogeneities between clamshells at the tray’s center and those at the edge. This investigation highlighted the importance of having proper ventilation around the clamshells, which is mainly affected by the package design. The addition of vent holes to the commercialized design reduced half-cooling time, and enhance the cooling uniformity. However, both alternative designs exhibited higher ventilation energy consumption compared to the commercialized design.
