Résumé

A family of standard, reusable, and recyclable plastic containers for handling, storing and transporting horticultural crops, from field to market, has been developed. These containers can be used in precooling fruits and vegetables. The multi-purpose use of these containers places a constraint on the design of the wall openings. The study is aimed at determining the width of the openings on the container surface to maximize efficiency during forced air precooling of horticultural crops. The relative surface area of the openings has an important effect on air circulation and should cover approximately 25% of the container walls.
