Ventilation and refrigeration equipment for a carrot storage (intended for 1 000 tons)

Development of a container-storage system for carrots with a capacity of 1000 tons.

Objective

Temperature maintenance in a carrot storage in winter with the help of cold air.

To chill carrots while putting them in storage (to +3 C) throughout the day.

100 tons/day of produce was chilled while being put into storage.

Solution

In order to create the storage microclimate, we used Dragon technology (a passive-ventilation system) with a built-in air cooler. This made it possible to use storage space more efficiently and save time on installation work.
